packaging questions: docbook-xsl-stylesheets
Easy one first:
1. Is a separate doc package (docbook-xsl-stylesheets-doc) required?
It seems to me that they should be included in the
docbook-xsl-stylesheets package, as they are an integral part of
the distribution and not distributed separately upstream.
Since the distribution changes rapidly, one really needs the docs.
Disk space is very cheap these days, too.
My second question is:
2. Where do I install the perl scripts and library files found in the
bin directory?
The stylesheet distribution from Norm has a flat directory structure
bin/
common/
...
xhtml/
These are the files in bin/:
chunk.pl (a script)
dbart.xml
dbchunk.xml
dbref.xml
dingbat.pl
docbook.pl
removexmlns.pl
Roughly how they work:
- chunk.pl calls the xml files as chunking config files.
- *.xml files call the other perl files.
(I use the chunking stylesheets, so I never use chunk.pl)
Does chunk.pl go in /usr/bin? If so, where does the other stuff go?
Then again, since they're all arch-indep, packaging would be easier if
they could stay where they are -- in the bin directory next to the
other stylesheet subdirs in
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.29/
Please advise.
Thanks,
Mark
