docbook-apps

I finally finished putting together a new release of the DocBook XSL
stylesheets. I apologize for the long delay. Future releases should
come more frequently as we move over to Github.

You can download the distribution files from SourceForge:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.79.0
https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl-ns/1.79.0
https://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl-doc/1.79.0

This is a "dot.zero" release, which means it should be considered a
candidate release for testing. Please test this thoroughly if you can,
and send any issues you find to me and I will correct them for the dot.1
release.

The major changes in this release are:

- Support for most elements in the DocBook Publishers schema
extension.

- Support for some FOP 1.1 improvements.

- Many bug fixes.

Hi Bob,

thanks a bunch. I'm happy to hear about the move to Github.

I missed that announcement. What is the current state of that move and the
new repository location?

Best regards, Lars

While I'm not Bob, I think I may answer that question :-) :
DocBook as organization is on github here: https://github.com/docbook
The stylesheets are here: https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets

Note that things are still somewhat in flux; for example, the build
system on the migrated repo doesn't quite work yet. Hopefully that will
be fixed soon, so we can start contributing patches.

Regards,
Stefan

Stefan, I fear your claim isn't completely right. :) Technically,
DocBook isn't an organisation on GitHub, it's just a normal user named
"DocBook". :)

Shouldn't this be migrated to an organization instead of having a normal
user? According to https://help.github.com/articles/about-organizations/

About organizations
Organizations are great for businesses and large open-source projects
that need multiple owners and administrators, grouped together with
teams that determine affinity and repository permissions.

I'm not sure if this definition of "large open-source project" would fit
for a (hypothetical) DocBook organization. However, maybe it would be
beneficial to have one as it allows more fine-grained repository
permissions? Not sure if that's a good thing for DocBook.

Just my thoughts. :))

I stand corrected. :-)

Yes, I fully agree to the above.

Thanks Stefan for the answer. Really great news that DocBook is moving to
Github.

Thanks a lot Bob for this effort! Great work!

One question about contributing:
Any bugs should be reported on GitHub now, right? Will the old bugs on
SourceForge be migrated to GitHub?

How to contribute? Is it ok to send pull-requests or would you prefer
other forms?

Ok, sorry, that was more than one question. ;))

Thanks!
