It's not any worse than we had before and in fact better.  Before I would
pull just before release and then have to sort out the mess and patch and
push back.

Right now debbie's job to build the docs is a separate job from the main
one.
I haven't looked at it in a while to be honest.  But we can add to our trac
for when it fails.
I still need to patch it up to make sure it is not trying to pull from
transifex, unless you already changed that.

I think the main doc job I had build only like German and Japanese which are
the most complete and I had a separate to build all.

Like I said it's no worse than we had before.  I'd rather it just break and
we fix it as it breaks.
Some of those xml issues are hard to pick up (except when weblate shows an
alarm) so will often not be caught until later.

Yah we can make them turn read.

I changed this already pushes to master.

Let's get rid of main.  Then no chance of people pushing to main.

Thanks,
