w3c-markup-validator and w3c-sgml-lib

[Nicholas Bamber]

Daniel,
   I have brought the two key projects I am working on into the 
SGML/XML repository and set the ownership on both packages to the group. 
They are working quite well in my test environment. Currently they are 
both lintian clean with arguments "-iI --pedantic" and build from 
pbuilder. However if you look at the changelogs there is still a lot to do.

I have settled on a strategy for getting over the ownership fo 
w3c-dtd-xhtml issues. I am making the w3c-sgml-lib package with

Conflicts: w3c-dtd-xhtml
Replaces: w3c-dtd-xhtml

and I will make w3c-markup-validator dependent on w3c-dtd-xhtml (as it 
is now). I will make the new w3c-markup-validator work with either 
(though it cannot be very well in the case of w3c-dtd-xhtml). When 
w3c-dtd-xhtml eventually goes I will make it depend on w3c-sgml-lib instead.


You may also notice that in w3c-sgml-lib there is a script that 
generates the config file for dh_installxmlcatalogs after reading the 
XML catalog. I believe that this could  be useful.
