No, SUNWgnome-xml-share does not depend on the GNOME desktop. The name is mostly historical, SUNWdocbook would be a better name. > > Laca just did > > the most recent update - I'm sure he'd be happy to > > talk to you about updating from 1.69.1 to 1.70.0 if > > there's something you need from the newer version. > > Umpf... why are the docbook stylesheets in a "sgml/" subdir ? DocBook > stylesheets come in DSSL and XSL flavours for SGML and XML... I don't really see a problem with that. This directory structure is not my invention though, it mirrors Red Hat. Not because it's the right thing to do, but because I couldn't find anyone knowledgeable enough to sort out the stylesheets mess in Solaris and maintain it long term. So I looked for implementations that worked. SuSE and Red Hat were okay but Red Hat's structure was a lot cleaner and the build recipes were readable, unlike SuSE's. > ... is it possible to move the whole "docbook/"-subdir to > /usr/share/docbook/, please ? In fairness, unless someone wants to take over the maintenance of the docbook stylesheets in Solaris, I'd prefer not to diverge from the Red Hat specs so that I can easily update to a newer version using their recipes. I looked at the 1.72.0 xsl stylesheets and it seems easy enough to upgrade if we keep the structure as it is. Please file an RFE. Laca
