Motivation for this change

Currently, the docbook derivation puts things into $out/xml which really should be $out/share/xml.

This causes a truly massive rebuild so I'm not sure if it's really worth it and I have NOT run nox-review wip on this.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Instead of share/xml/dtd/docbook, we might want to use share/xml/docbook-4.x/dtd to mirror docbook5.

You may also want to do a similar action for SGML derivation.

Also I opened #30457 which fixes the paths in existing derivations.

This would not work. You can use ${name/-xml/} but people on IRC recommend moving the builder to a Nix expression (generic.nix).

I know - I was trying out some things but had to leave the computer I was working on, hence a commit named "fef". I don't like using builder.sh either - it's much easier to grok as part of the derivation directly.
