Re: cygnus docbook tools/util



hi mark,

i'm seriously thinking at resigning my intent to package docbook-tools
or whatever. i still have grave diffuculties in understanding this mess.

at the moment i am completely unable to produce any good package.

i think that anybody being ready to package something should do it. so please
feel free to take over my intent, since i neither started to working on.

the other way, if it is up to me, i don't see the goal very near in the future.

cheers
