My build machine (where I run patchy merge) is in my office which I don't currently have access to so I'll try to merge and push from home (now) and see what the problem is. RegardsOK, so there was no problem after all, apart from something going on at the office (or on my build machine).Maybe it doesn't have XeTeX installed? But if I remember correctly, the patch should in that case automatically fall back to PDFTeX. So before installing XeTeX (in case this was the problem) it would make sense to figure out from logs etc what the problem was.
I'll check on Monday, although I did have XeTeX installed - the box at work is more powerful than the one at home so when I was testing all the make docs for this new patch it was easier to do it all from work.
It may be something benign like network issues or possibly even a power outage - my desktop at work is not a critical server so it won't be on any kind of UPS :) and all of my colleagues in the office have laptops so people often forget I even have a desktop meaning there is zero incentive to worry about this one 'grandpa box'.
http://dilbert.com/strip/2011-08-03 ;)As a general point though, should I continue to do my testing from now on with XeTex installed?
If it isn't a requirement for LP building and pdfTex is supposed to still work without it, would we be 'risking' unexpected problems if I have it installed while testing?
