Well, asking again after some time might make sense.  IMHO we should ask
again in beginning of October.

I think the simplest solution is to do the conversion on a local machine
and rsync it to wagner.  This could be even automated by a publish:
target in the makefile (I do this in Blends documentation).  IMHO the
whole workflow to use postcommit hooks is flawed anyway - so even if
the XML tools would be installed on wagner I do not see that this would
help.  For the moment I did the update manually.  I'd volunteer to write
such a publish target if nobody has a better idea.

However, I noticed that the html ends up with a "date" saying

   $ policy.xml rev. @REV@ - @DATE@ (@AUTHOR@) $ 

Seems something is broken in the conversion process anyway.  Any idea
how to fix this?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
