Re: [generguide-devel] <xinclude> links

[Cameron S. <ca...@sh...>]

This thread is getting very complicated, so I plan to take Sean's advice and 
break the email into seperate threads.

Sean and Artur, you have been very talkative while I was sleeping!  It is 
going to take a bit for me to catch up.

Sean and Artur, are you receiving emails through the generguide email list?
If so, we should be able to revert back to using just that list now.  (I put 
in a trouble report with sourceforge and it seems to be resolved now).

Yes, I agree, this will be particularly important when creating multiple 
repositories, however we I think we can still allow relative links.

I think we also need to introduce a GenerRepository version number into the 
directory structure, so we will get the following types of links:

<xi:include href="http://gnu.org/guide/1_1_0/gpl.xml"/>
<xi:include href="http://gnu.org/guide/head/gpl.xml"/>
<xi:include href="http://gnu.org/guide/stable/gpl.xml"/>
<xi:include href="license.xml"/>
