I suggest we interpret that each silence as "doesn't matter for me", and start filing patches to those packages - unless someone has objections, that is. First list of packages that would/may need xmlcatalog support: sgml-data docbook-xml docbook-xml-simple docbook-xsl docbook-mathml docbook-website docbook-xml-slides docbook-xml-jrefentry docbook-html-forms logidee-tools flexml gnome-doc-tools BTW, I noticed while browsing that we still have obsolete packages docbook-xml-website and docbook-xsl-stylesheets in sid - is there a reason to keep them around ? -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alcove.com/ Free-Software Engineer Ingénieur Logiciel-Libre Free-Software time manager Responsable du temps Informatique-Libre Debian GNU/Linux developper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
