That might be a bit strong - I haven't really looked into the differences in depth. They are being maintained separately, and they are tracking Norm Walsh's stuff. > I understand that Gnome needs db2* scripts... why do they need the Cygnus > stylesheets? They use them internally at Cygnus for their documentation. They are unsupported for outside use. Don't ask me why Gnome decided to use them. I suppose it's because Mark Galassi is helping out with the docs. > >> Please patch from the potato docbook-stylesheets if you could. > > > >You are asking me to merge two upstream packages which have forked. > >That's a big job.

The only reason I made them conflict is because they both register Norm Walsh's stylesheets. I'm not sure how much Cygnus tweaked their version. It could be quite a bit since they are using it for internal use. Maybe there would be little difference if we used the "real" Norm Walsh ones instead? Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to experiment at the moment. I've put the package up at: ftp://ftp.jimpick.com/pub/tmp/adam/ I didn't put a lot of effort into it. I just tried to get it to work like the RPM does. Cheers, - Jim
