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:
Thanks for doing this. For the avoidance of doubt, what license applies to this?
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:
[...]
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.
I think the documentation should be under /usr/share/doc, both to conform with our packaging guidelines (such as they are), and for discoverability (people may know to look in /usr/share/doc for documentation)
