In docbook-xsl 1.79.2, the system identifier was changed from
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/...
to
http://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl/current/...
However, this was done in a backward-incompatible way. So now, in your
customization layer or build system, you have to pick one of these URLs,
and users who have a different docbook-xsl version installed locally
will suffer, either because the stylesheets have to be fetched from a
remote server, or the build will fail entirely.
This didn't use to be a real problem in practice because 1.79.2 saw very
little adoption, but it's now trickling into various distributions and
packagings, and it's becoming a real source of frequent build problems.
This should be fixed by making the supplied catalog files include
backward-compatible mappings. However, it seems after 1.79.2,
docbook-xsl went unmaintained, so we are now stuck in this limbo.
Is anybody in a position to get this fixed and get a new patch release
out soon please?
