For sure

Step 1 - Dblatex
------------------------

First of all be sure that you have dblatex installed


since I am on Ubuntu Lucid, I've did

apt-get install -y dblatex

Notice: I've tryied it with dblatex 0.2.12-4 (Ubuntu Lucid) and with the last version 0.3 available from dblatex.sf.net.
The two versions are Ok for me. However I am not able to confirm that my commands will work for dblatex < 0.2.12


Then 

Step 2 - Generating the PDF
-------------------------------------

# As usual, generate the XML file
cd doc/adminguide

make slony.xml


# we need to make a few changes: replacing 'article' by 'sect1' else we will not be able to use Latex

sed -i "s:<article:<sect1:g;s:</article:</sect1:g" slony.xml;

# We use dblatex to generate a temporary Tex file named (for example) 'slony-tmp.tex'
dblatex -t tex -o slony-tmp.tex slony.xml

#  We drop bad lines "\end{document}" generated by dblatex
grep -vE '^(\\end{document}|\\subsection\*)$' slony-tmp.tex > slony.tex

# We put the required '\end{document}' at the end of the Tex file

echo "\end{document}" >>  slony.tex

# Latex required to run the following command 3 times in order to generating the TOC of the document

pdflatex slony.tex
pdflatex slony.tex
pdflatex slony.tex


Then the PDF file is generated.

That's all.

To include this in the -doc tar builds going forward I need to know what 
commands to execute to build the PDF from the xml sources.

$ cd doc/adminguide
$ make slony.xml

then what?  Do I need to run

$ make slony.pdf

or something else?
