python-xml for DEBIAN ---------------------- This is the debianized version of the new and probably incomplete XML package for Python. The modules in this package have been developed independently by the members of the PSA XML-SIG, and have now been collected into a single package tree. BEWARE!: The diversions xmllib.py and sgmllib.py are now gone, as of version 0.5.1-4, and should be removed on upgrade. However, an ugly bug in versions from 0.5.1-4 to 0.5.1-6 made xmllib.py and sgmllib.py being silently removed from the system at first install time and on further upgrades. Before filling any bug report about this problem, please first check whether these files are present on your system. If not, please reinstall in the following order python-base and python-xml to see if the two files are back again. As of version 0.5.1-2, the XBEL DTD and bookmark conversion code, formerly in /usr/doc/python-xml/examples/demo/xbel, has been more closely integrated into Debian's SGML architecture. The XBEL code itself is now in the "xml.xbel" package, the DTD is registered, and the utilities are linked to /usr/bin. Please note that this is beta software, under active development. While most of it works quite well, there may still be bugs, and some interfaces may change before the 1.0 release. If you intend to use this package for serious work, please consider joining the discussion on the XML-SIG mailing list. Jerome Marant , Sat, 28 Oct 2000 14:17:45 +0200
