Subject: Cygwin packager for DocBook releases?
The docbook-xml and docbook-xsl packages for Cygwin are currently orphaned and in need of a new maintainer. The latest docbook-xsl package available for Cygwin is 1.69.1, released 2 years ago. If you're a Cygwin user, I'd like to encourage you to consider adopting the docbook-xsl and/or docbook-xml packages. If you were to take over those packaging responsibilities, I can offer to provide as much help as I can from the upstream (DocBook Project) side, and to put you in contact with packagers from other distributions (Mandriva, MacPorts, Fedora/Red Hat, Debian) who might also be able to give you some general guidance. As far as help with specifics of Cygwin packaging, I think you can get that help on the cygwin-apps mailing list: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/ If you think it's important for Cygwin to have up-to-date DocBook packages, I hope you'll consider stepping forward to help make it happen. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://people.w3.org/mike/ http://sideshowbarker.net/
