Caldera is a RPM-based distribution, so my packaging will probably be
only profitable for those with RPM-based distributions, like the current
DocBook tools that only offer a mirror of the source packages for those
without RPM. Furthermore, I have been told the Debian project already
did a very clean packaging of its own (seeking a greater compatibility
with them could also be a concern, BTW).
Of course the new db2* scripts do not depend on the packaging and I can
send them to you.
I don't want to put anything on KDE's ftp before I know my help proposal
is accepted or refused here : as David said, there's no need to multiply
the distributions.

Sure, we should at least seek a common directory layout.
I think the reference version is here at the DocBook tools, so I won't
start anything on my own before Mark gives his advice on the topic.

Currently, the docbook-stylesheets package from the docbook-tools
includes three things :
1 - Norman Walsh's modular stylesheets
2 - the db2* and install-catalog scripts
3 - some "glue" files like "cygnus-common.dsl"
I think that (1) has to be packaged separately for modularity reasons, I
suggest to rename (2) the "docbook-utils" (only a component of the
docbook-tools), and to get rid of (3) because this kind of files imply a
lot of assumptions on the way you are working.
