Hi Andreas.

Hello,
I tested all packages and they installed the things properly.
Everything
runs smooth and their use is straightforward. Some notes about these
packages are below...
Marcel, it would be great if both the dtd and stylesheets would allow
to
DTD supports different versions installed. DTD 4.2 is installed in
/usr/share/docbook-xml42
DTD 4.1.2 should be installed in
/usr/share/docbook-xml412
and so on (there is not yet DTD 4.1.2 packaged for cygwin).
My idea is to support different DTDs (as mentioned above) and only one
xsl (current). Is there a reason to support different versions of the
XSL installed at the same time? Note: xmlto uses only "current" version
of the stylesheets.
have different versions installed. What do you think about a structure
like:
/usr/share/docbook/dtd/{VERSION}
/usr/share/docbook/xsl/{VERSION}
This directory structure looks good for me with one exception, xsl not
versioned, so:
/usr/share/docbook/dtd/4.2
/usr/share/docbook/xsl
If this gets some votes (and voices) I'll change the structure in the
next package releases.
How would these structure fit for the catalog file? Does it imply to
have
one centralized catalog file that is updated each time a dtd package
is
(de)installed?
Where is the problem? One centralized catalog file /etc/xml/catalog
looks good for me (as it is done now).
I don?t know if this is a regular review but these packages helped me
a lot
when processing docbook xml sources to get html and xhtml.
I really want to see this packages in the distro. Here is my vote for
all
three.
Thank you.
Regards.
