make pdfdocs broken in 2.6.19rc2 and needs fixes
When you do make pdfdocs with 2.6.19rc2-git7 you get tons of error messages and then some corrupted PDFs in the end.
Fixing that (I suppose it will just need comment fixes and should not affect the code) should be a relatively easy task for a newbie and would be useful for the 2.6.19 release.

What userland were you using? Unfortunately with 'make *docs' that matters.
Unquestionably, there is breakage regardless of distro.

I find it easier to just use/check make htmldocs && make mandocs to look for errors and to test fixes. At least as a first pass.

and those (htmldocs, mandocs) won't catch the errors that Andi is seeing. :(

SUSE 10.0 userland. The errors look like pretty generic TeX errors though and that tends to not change very often.

Some vendor shipped pdf and TeX tools are problematic. It works correctly on Red Hat except for kernel-api which has become too big for the default settings when ext4 was added. The TeX hash size gets exceeded, TeX emits
"! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=60000]. If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me."
Really it would be nice to find a more modern way from the input to pdf without going via tex.

I have a k-doc note to self which says something like "move all filesystems from kernel-api to filesystems-api". That was just for compartmentalization or modularization, not to fix this tools problem, but it would do that as well. So I can do that soon.

Agreed.
I've been thinking of exploring other transform tools, but I haven't taken the time to do that yet.

mmmh, roff supports pdf these days also ;)
