Bug#162262: general: Many OMF files are buggy.
Package: general
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-09-25
Severity: normal
GNOME packages use OMF-XML files for describing a ressource.
Right now I have about 60 files that are not valid XML by the
OMF-DTD. These leed to very confusing scrollkeeper-messages.
I suggest urging package-maintainers to submit valid OMF files into
a debian package. These OMF files have a similar function as a
correct debian-packages description for GNOME manual data. So I think
it is very essential to be more strict here. This is a suggestion for
all GNOME packages maintainers (and maybe other packages that use OMF
and scrollkeeper).
OMF files can be easily parsed and only valid files should make it into
a debian package.
