GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 109046
Allow <nextCatalog> pointing to TR9401 catalogs
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:25:06 UTC
It would be nice if <nextCatalog> entries in XML Catalog files could point to TR9401 catalogs. Issue 23 in http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/issues.html indicates that support for this is allowed, and the example of pointing to the DocBook XML 4.1.2 docbook.cat file, in Bob Stayton's chapter on XML Catalogs, in his DocBook XSL document http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/Catalogs.html indicates that the Sun Resolver has support for doing this.
Bleech, that unclean. How is that defined ? How/what is the base used, how does this integrate with the algorithms of section 7 ? Nothing is defined about how this should be actually processed. Daniel
Daniel, Appendix E of the XML Catalogs spec http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/spec.html describes how TR9401 entries are to be handled by showing the equivalent XML Catalog syntax.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
