If the bug remains in NEW state for 8 weeks, libxfce4ui will be orphaned. Before branching of Fedora 29, libxfce4ui will be retired, if it still fails to build.

From build.log: gtkdoc-mktmpl --module=libxfce4ui make[2]: gtkdoc-mktmpl: Command not found make[2]: *** [Makefile:733: tmpl-build.stamp] Error 127 Missing BuildRequires? Better fix Makefile because upstream has finally removed and deprecated mktmpl. https://github.com/GNOME/gtk-doc/commit/46df4354abed5724697fd5e39630c5bbc6637cc4#diff-c949f93d03f44a4217d7a138f9e2e54aL13 A similiar bug existed in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881915
README in gtk-doc: "Please use DoxBook XML instead of DocBook SGML - support for the later will be dropped." Besides I don't know details what this means, someone should poke upstream and request a patch.
The easiest way to fix this would be to remove --enable-gtk-doc during building. This is already done in 4.13 releases.
In 4.13.x, we have " gtkdoc-mkdb --module=libxfce4ui --output-format=xml --expand-content-files="" --main-sgml-file=libxfce4ui-docs.xml ${_source_dir} --sgml-mode --output-format=xml " https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/nonamedotc/xfce-414/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00688130-libxfce4ui/build.log.gz Kevin, any objections if I remove --enable-gtk-doc?
go ahead. I tried some calls to gtkdocize to fix this, but it needs more than that, so sure,
Fixed in rawhide (build should complete shortly). For F28, we can push the changes for F28 with the next update.
