And the packages aren't ready: Adam, I've packaged most of the DocBook/XML extensions you referred to in a previous message. BUT--they were hacked together by hand-making a tree and doing a 'dpkg -b "tree"'. (Hey, it was fast, easy, and they work.) They are - docbook-mathml - docbook-slides - docbook-website - docbook-simple - docbook-jrefentry - docbook-xsl-stylesheets - docbook-xml-tools (cygnus-stylesheets for use with docbook xml source files.) and a useful (but kludgey) XT package for XSLT processing. I've only posted an ITP for the xsl stylesheets, but plan to package all of the above -- and possibly a few others. I'm finding that creating the source trees and all the stuff under debian/ takes more time than I thought. <ugh/> Last night I spent a few hours tweaking Adam's dsssl docbook-stylesheets debian/rules to work for the docbook-xsl-stylesheets. I finally succeeded, but do have a number of questions related to packaging this and related stuff. I'll post the questions in a new thread. > I am willing and able to sponsor some of this, esp. the docbook-xml > derivitives. > Great! Lately I've been following the redhat/cygnus/kde docbook packaging, and am in a good position to package their docbook-utils, the updated version of docbook-tools, (aka cygnus-stylesheets in debian). Adam: Are you keeping the docbook-xml package? In the future I'd be willing to lighten your load by adopting it. But first things first. BTW, I haven't yet completed the new maintainer application process, but should be finished with it in a couple of weeks. What I do need from one of you senior sgml dudes is some sort of recommendation to let my AM (Martin Michlmayr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) know that I'm not a total bonehead--or that I am, if that's your opinion. My guess is that Adam or Ardo would be logical candidates... I would muchly appreciate it. More in follow-up messages... Mark P.S. Sometime in the future I'd be willing to lighten Adam's load by adopting docbook-xml. But first things first. > -- > .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
