Sorry, but I don't know what's meant by "special version". But to describe the relationship between the packages, a user who has the docbook-xsl-java package installed also needs the standard docbook-xsl package installed -- not any special version of the package -- in order to make use of the extensions. Because the extensions are called by stylesheets -- if a user enables certain optional parameters. Which reminds me: I would think that the docbook-xsl package will need to have a requirement for docbook-xsl-java -- because there is no way to tell at install time if a user plans to use the optional extensions; the option to use the extensions is a user run-time option. > It's more like docbook-xsl depending on the extensions in > special parts (e.g. the callouts-list handling).

We actually made a bug fix to them within the last two weeks. But it is true that they don't change very often: would need only a couple of a releases a year at most. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
