I might have missed the first message here. I had a minor issue with my
mail filter (after moving my mail host last week) and it was right around
the time the second message came in. Are you discussing merging the
books,
or moving to profiled XML to make two targets from one source?

Two targets from one source so we can share those files that are the
same for both books.

What I had in mind is a different indexd.xml for the systemd book along
with a systemd target in the Makefile.  I want to try to prototype this
today in a new branch.  If I get it working I'll commit that branch for
further review.  For file naming, I plan to just append a 'd' to the
different files, ie indexd.xml vs index.xml.

If it works out, it should make the maintenance work for the systemd
version of the book a lot easier.

It should, and avoids adding anything specific for each book directly in the XML source as proposed here:

The part I had no creative ideas about was the split changelog (ie: having to put changes in both changelogs), which is why I had ultimately suggested the above simple changes.
