I would like to propose to package perl-App-XML-DocBook-Builder as it is 
a prerequisite for building the docs for the new upstream fortune-mod.
It is packaged on Mageia and PCLinuxOS distributions:

https://repology.org/project/perl:app-xml-docbook-builder/versions

The usual sources and binaries are available on Google drive:

perl-App-XML-DocBook-Builder	0.1003

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BtezhO2KpoTCw5XW_2H42xtfI40sNj_F

Feedback on how to set the proper BUILD_/REQUIRES welcome.


I would like to adopt fortune-mod to get it updated as I run it daily:

fortune-mod	last 1.99.1 -> proposed 3.6
