Every package update re-installs all entries to /etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/$package.xml. But this is a policy violation. Changes done to the above files are not preserved. Further we create and manipulate the system catalog by a self-written tool. IMO the rewrite must finish in - shipping the /etc/xml/$package.xml file instead of creating it (so dh_installxmlcatalogs will simply put a file into etc/xml/) - and registering it with the system catalog by the nextCatalog entry instead of putting delegate* entries in the system catalog directly (this should be done in a way, that is compatible with using the xmlcatalog tool from libxml) - if a user decides he wants to unregister a catalog, he can simply remove the relevant nextCatalog [1] entry in /etc/xml/catalog - and this change must be preserved during package updates.

If you want write access, you need to register an account at http://alioth.debian.org and apply for access to the debian-xml-sgml project. If you don't want that, you can start by sending patches. I have uploading rights, so I can sponsor packages ready for an upload. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
