I can walk you through. It's just a CVS area with some makefile conventions.

That's me. See my question above. You may or may not wish to join the debian-doc list. It's pretty low volume (10 posts a day?). > Later today I'll post some thoughts on xml-core/xml-common, or > whatever the package will be named. Ardo and I have worked through it already. I think what you're proposing and the informal, working policy Ardo has worked out are pretty much the same. Ardo and I also did a number of emails off-list working out some of the details. > Then, Sunday night or Monday morning I'll attempt to summarize the > various points regarding XML Catalog implementation and the role and > content of xml-common. I don't really know if you need to summarize xml-core operation and contents, I would allow Ardo to finish the package and supply his notes. That would seem to take work off Ardo ... But I guess it might not hurt, I dunno. > Hopefully, that would give me enough to get to work on the policy > docs and for Ardo to put together an xml-common package.

Maybe xml-core is a better name... Yes, I think I convinced Ardo to use xml-core even though *-common is more standard in Debian. xml-common is the name of sgml-data for XML on RedHat, as well as the issue you raise above. > At any rate, I'll ITP and upload the newest version of Norm's resolver > along with Ardo's xml-XXXXX package.

That sounds good too. > Ardo & I can work together off-list on some of the xml-XXXX > issues... Ardo and I have already done it. I'll look for relevant emails in my outbox and send them along to this list... I hope Ardo doesn't mind. I think we should have been CC'ing this list all along. -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
