bug (semi-solved): PDF creation hangs about dokuwiki-plugin-dw2pdf HOT 5 CLOSED

No idea yet. Which DokuWiki version are you using?

from dokuwiki-plugin-dw2pdf.

We are running actual Debian Bullseye (11.6) and Dokuwiki 0.0.20180422.a-2.1 which is actual in Debian stable, not from DokuWiki pov - sorry.

DokuWiki says it is release 2018-04-22a "Greebo"

There is a newer version from backports I might install: 0.0.20200729-0.1~bpo11+1

This very likely is still outdated, but we have reasons to stay with Debian Stable. I just found out how to solve that probem and wanted to share. If this is rather a Debian problem than DokuWiki's I am sorry and fine to close the issue.

Due to the varying maintenance effort on these DokuWiki packages combined with an atypical folder structure, which results unfortunately in quite some confusion for some users, we recommend indeed to install DokuWiki directly and not from the Debian repositories. (That is also what we do ourselves at dokuwiki.org.)

If you use these older versions of DokuWiki, please realize that regularly these are not supported by recent updated plugins anymore. In these cases, please refer back to an older version of a plugin.

Technically I agree but installing from Deebian Repo means it is accepted by BSI as part of the distribution. No additional validation and testing in GDPR sensitive environments. The Debian specific folder structure is no problem for me.

Dw2pdf supports Greebo so there should not be any problem.

Closing as I understand it now as mismatch between versions.
