Hi BenoƮt,

I want you to inform about Debian dblatex bug #514932 [1]:

The call to xsltproc for building the listings ignores the --xslt-opts
settings specified to dblatex.

In this case the --nonet option to xsltproc was not passed through by
dblatex, resulting in dblatex running for some hours when building the
Lenny (= upcoming Debian release) release notes on a machine isolated
From the net, causing some excitement [2].

Only the listings call is affected, the main xsltproc call is fine.  The
patch from Martin Borgert [1] resolves the problem, thus I would ask you
to incorporate it into your next release.

BTW, could you answer Martin's question about suppressing the use of
SGML catalogs in the listings call in deviation from the the main call?
If I understand the xsltproc manpage right, the environment variable
XML_CATALOG_FILES gets evaluated anyway, with /etc/xml/catalog as a
fallback, which file is provided by Debian.  But why the difference
between both xsltproc calls in dblatex?  Maybe the catalogs just aren't
needed for building the listings - however I'm just guessing here.
