It will be quite tricky :)

My status:

- we can't use the provided build mechanism, as it would build-depend on
saxon (contrib) - bad deal

- everything is not dealt with in the provided built mechanism AFAICT - I
still have to run saxon using it :) - anyway, Norm told me that the build
machanism was incomplete

- I could produce an HTML version using Norm's dsssl stylesheets, but it
lacks index (I had to investigate how collateindex.pl works, for sgml2x,
anyway), doesn't have crosslinks between elements/entities/etc, doesn't do
anything with version attributes (those shown in ToC with version glyphs),
and probably a good deal of other things.

So here are my plans:

- try to see whether the saxon built mechanism actually does something

- investigate collateindex and add support for it in sgml2x (I had planned
to do this post-1.0, but hey, that's life ;)

[update: actually started this one - existing support for HTML only it
seems.  Bah, that's the minimum we want.]

- write a small customisation layer over Norm's html/docbook.dsl, to handle
the specificities of the defguide, and another one in between for
general-usage (in the spirit of what I did for bookarticle.dsl (see
alcovebook package)

- write a nice CSS that will format the HTML in a pretty way

If you have any ideas, just express them :)

I think I'm going to go for tonight. Now that I can actually connect to cvs
server again (mutters about British Telecom being the most clueless idiots
to ever walk the earth) there's not a lot to do.

2.0.36 in in thom's cvs, the most current release of subversion needs
that to build.  We are hoping that we can get this version of apache2
uploaded soon (this weekend? thom? what else is there to do? Even if
it isn't perfect, that's what the BTS is for.)  subversion will follow
soon after, depending, the current release of subversion requires a
neon version that will never be uploaded:
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=146805&repeatmerged=yes)

I'll either port subversion to neon 0.20.0, or else just make 0.19.4
packages available and not upload subversion yet.  I'd really like to
upload, it has been a while.

Ah, good point :)

Well, whereami doesn't have hooks in if-up.d and if-down.d, because it plays
a part in configuring the interface, too.  We have considered improving its
integration, but it hasn't been done yet.

I think you're right, that it would be better to integrate via ifup/down and
its mechanisms, and hooking into miid would be possibly easier but not
really the best solution.

Thanks,
Chris
