- De-Facto Standard Tool for Debian XML Catalog System Maintenance
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- update-xmlcatalog(8) in the xml-core package is the de-facto standard
- tool to be used to maintain XML catalog files on a Debian system,
- just as update-catalog(8) in the sgml-base package is the standard
- tool to be used to maintain SGML catalog files on a Debian system. A
- Debian XML/SGML Policy document to this effect is currently under
- development.
-
- Incompatibility of update-xmlcatalog(8) and xmlcatalog(1)
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- update-xmlcatalog(8) in the xml-core package and xmlcatalog(1) in the
- libxml2-utils package are _incompatible_. The former has an internal
- database of all the entries in all the XML catalog files it maintains
- and regenerates the indicated XML catalog file completely from scratch
- upon an update. The latter updates the indicated XML catalog file
- directly. This means that any change made to an XML catalog file
- using xmlcatalog(1) is overwritten the next time that XML catalog file
- is updated using update-xmlcatalog(8).
-
- Debhelper Support
- -----------------
- This package contains the debhelper script 'dh_installxmlcatalogs'
- to support installing local XML catalog files and registering XML
- entities in the XML catalog system. It complies with the current
- draft Debian XML/SGML policy. For more information see the manual
- page.
-
- Debian XML & SGML Mailing List
- ------------------------------
- The Debian mailing list 'debian-sgml@lists.debian.org' is used to
- discuss issues related to XML and SGML on Debian systems, with an
- emphasis on proper integration of tools, packaging standards and the
- writing of documentation for XML and SGML users.
-
- Debian XML & SGML Group Project
- -------------------------------
- The 'Debian XML/SGML Group' project (http://debian-xml-sgml.alioth.debian.org/)
- has been setup on Debian Alioth (http://alioth.debian.org/) to develop
- and maintain XML and SGML packages for the Debian Project in a
- collaborative effort.
