Hi there,
I'm interested in maintaining DocBook 5 schemata plus some additional tools for docbook (daps and jing-trang). I've never maintained a package before, so I think the best way for me would be starting with DocBook 5. By creating the cygport file I run into some questions that I would like to address:
1) docbook-5.0 installation path
All docbook-4.x files are installed in /usr/share/xml/docbook/<xml-dtd-4.5> and so on. With DocBook 5 the distribution format changed and there is now one folder with all necessary information:
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 .
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 30. Mrz 16:39 ..
-rwx------+ 1 holger Kein 3287 6. Feb 2008 catalog.xml
-rwx------+ 1 holger Kein 46419 6. Feb 2008 ChangeLog
-rwx------+ 1 holger Kein 430 6. Feb 2008 docbook.nvdl
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 docs
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 dtd
-rwx------+ 1 holger Kein 1182 6. Feb 2008 README
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 rng
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 sch
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 tools
-rwx------+ 1 holger Kein 4 6. Feb 2008 VERSION
drwx------+ 1 holger Kein 0 6. Feb 2008 xsd
I propose to put the hole distribution under
/usr/share/xml/docbook/docbook-5.0/
so everything is in one place. I also had a look at Ubuntu; they put the schema-folders (dtd, rng, schematron (renamed sch), xsd and catalog-docbook5.xml) under
/usr/share/xml/docbook/schema
and all documentation in their doc-structure. In my opinion, putting everything at one place would be the easiest way to work with.
2) docbook.cyglass
Should I make use of the docbook.cyglass file? I think this one heavily depends on DocBook 4.x distribution.
Bye & thanks,
Holger
