Sorry, let me be more explicit. I'm going to assume that there's some
command in the XML toolkit (which I'll call "get-entity") that takes an
entity reference's name, and prints the entity's value to stdout. So
for instance, "get-entity udev-config" would print whatever the entity
&udev-config; expands to in the XML (that is, "udev-config-20080522" in
my current book tree, or "udev-config-20070731 in the current BOOK
trunk).
The script to build the appendix XML file(s) could then look something
like this:
URL=`get-entity udev-config-url`
DIR=`get-entity udev-config`
wget "$URL"
tar -xf "${DIR}.tar.bz2"
cd "$DIR"
cp *.rules /wherever/BOOK/tmp
and continue on from there like your existing script does, with the sed
to replace ampersands and less-than/greater-than characters, etc.
And of course, the same could work for the bootscripts.
It's still automated, and the appendix is guaranteed to have the same
scripts (or config files) as the book refers to, because we used
general.ent to find the packages, and pulled them from there. :-)
