Description of problem: Empty <productversion> causes install_book to fail silently. Adding <productversion>, or "version:" in publican.cfg, fixes the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.8-1.fc16 Additional Information: Also seen in fc15 version as well.
This error should be caught much sooner. Improved constraint validation. Pushed To ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/publican.git 9b37295..55c8a86 master -> master
stand up publican website, get a book, remove product version from bookinfo file, build book, then install the book on the website. verify the book does not install and you get an error std out.
Empty <productversion> no longer silent. Received error message for empty <productversion>: Invalid format for version. Value (EMPTY) does not conform to constraint (^[0-9]) at /usr/bin/publican line 634 Setting to VERIFIED.
^^ Checked publican-3.0-0.fc17.t180.noarch on Fedora 17
