new defaults.ent



Attention those of you working on the SGML docs!
(well, assuming Adam doesn't think I've gone off the deep end and he
applies the diff to CVS :)

I've attached a diff for a new version of defaults.ent; the original
file is available at:
	http://freenet.edmonton.ab.ca/~bsass/debian/defaults.ent

There have been significant changes that will break the current
docs, specifically: the entities "base-disks-tarball" and
"drivers-disks-tarball" are now going to generate URLs!  This means that
strings of the form "<url id=...>" containing these entities will need
to be changed to refer to the entity alone.  e.g. 
	`<url id="&base-disks-tarball;">' becomes `&base-disks-tarball'
This is the only thing I am aware of breaking, and it should be
confined to inst-methods.sgml... but keep your eyes open for other files
referring to these entities.

changelog:
- major cruft removal and reorganization,
  results in increased readability and easier maintenance.
- sync up with bf builds current as of 2000-04-25, except m68k
  (the 2.2.11 build for m68k hadn't made it onto the ftp site yet).
- redefined base-disks-tarball and drivers-disks-tarball entities,
  they now generate URLs (consistent with the rest of the entities,
  pretty much necessitated by the increased number and more varied
  locations of drivers tarballs, and the need for a prefix to address
  the downloadability of files from the web based docs).
- removed unused {base,rescue,root,drivers}-disks-directory prefixes
- added downloadable-file prefix to all entities defining URLs,
  to facilitate fetching files from HTML versions of the docs.
  Note: the prefix is in place, but is currently blank (= "").


later,

	Bruce
