The latest snapshot is from 22 April, so you should try that
version and let us know if something still needs fixing.
Something is going wrong with the snapshot machine that
prevents it from building a snapshot with each change. I'm
investigating.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] EPUB3: how to use base.dir
?
Thomas:
The build file I use was working without errors
until I made the change.
The problem with generating the content zip
file is not just validation. Either before or after I validate the file I will
still have to generate the zipped epub file to deliver so, to me, the problem is
still there and it wasn't there before.
I use JIng to validate the
docbook file before transformation and it reports no errors.
I work with
the following customization layer
<?xml

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

According to the snapshots.docbook.org page, the last version is built
on
April 17. This looks not as the latest snapshot release.
;-)
However, I've tried to transform my cookbook project into EPUB3 and
received
validation errors too (but they are different). But this is
another story.

Right, that's correct now.

Tip: You don't need to
create the ZIP archive and pass it to epubcheck. You
can start the
validation process right after xsltproc wrote the directories
without
creating the ZIP archive.
For example, if you've used foo/ as base.dir,
invoke epubcheck with this
option after the transformation
step:
$ epubcheck foo/ -mode exp
It is even possible to
validate only parts of the EPUB (directory), also with
the -mode
option:
mo = Media overlays
nav =
Navigation document
opf = package document
svg
= SVG content
xhtml = XHTML content
The -version option
specifies with EPUB version to validate (the values can be
either 2.0 or
3.0).

This indeed
looks strange. However, I didn't get such validation errors. I've
used the
last public stable release (1.78.1) and the snapshot from
docbook-
xsl-snapshot.tar.bz2 file, both with success.
Do you use a
customization layer?
