Re: [libmicrohttpd] CI Pipeline fails (doc / etex fails)

[Tim Rühsen]

@Paul

The error says
"/home/oms/src/libmicrohttpd/doc/gpl-2.0.texi:286: This command can
appear only outside of any environment, not in environment @enumerate."


Line 286 is
@heading NO WARRANTY

$ grep -n enumerate gpl-2.0.texi
67:@enumerate 0
104:@enumerate a
126:@end enumerate
153:@enumerate a
173:@end enumerate
314:@end enumerate

As you can see L67-L314 is an enumerate, where L286 (@heading) is enclosed.

So it looks like a problem in gpl-2.0.texi (or in the texi2dvi command
chain). Any ideas ?

Regards, Tim
