It's unfortunate there isn't more aggressive Debian SGML/XML work going on right now. I think a lot of us Debian developers are pretty busy with the Potato freeze. Speaking for myself personally, my next goal is OpenJade (OpenSP is done, and OpenJade is compiling at least now); following that I will probably be dedicating work towards a general Debian RDF based document store and other tasks which may prevent me from doing extensive SGML/XML work in Debian. > > I'm running Linux again (yay!) and Debian to boot, so I'm planning to > > build .deb (and .rpm) packages for the stylesheets.

Also, Norm, take a look at my version of your docbook-stylesheets package. Norm, I'd be happy to build the DSSSL out of the CVS area which you already maintain if that is feasible. The OpenJade group already gives me CVS write access which is very helpful for more rapid Debian releases, as well as letting me make changes to upstream sources when appropriate. This would let either of us build .debs -- you still need to be an official maintainer to upload stuff, but it would be great for me (and less work) if we were working together right out of CVS. Maybe we could do a similar thing with XSL. I don't actually use XSL at all so I'm hestitant in packaging it -- I don't think I could do a good job. But I'm certainly willing to help you with the first steps and whatnot... -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
