RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: how to upgrade docbook XSL stylesheets?

That's all it takes.  Of course, depending on what you have in your
customization layer, you may have some changes to do.  For example, if I
customize the refentry template and Bob re-writes that template in the
latest distribution, I need to go through a bit of work to merge my changes
with Bob's to be sure that everything still works.  If you're customization
layer is simple enough (like just setting some parameters), you probably
won't have any problems.

Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: how to upgrade docbook XSL stylesheets?



  is there anything to upgrading to a newer set of docbook
XSL stylesheets besides just downloading the tarball and 
installing it in the right place?  it seems fairly obvious, 
but one never knows.  

  i have a RH 8.0 system with the salient directories

  /usr/share/sgml/docbook/
			  xsl-stylesheets->xsl-stylesheets-1.50.0-3

  is it just a case of untarring the new stylesheets into the
same directory (with name docbook-xsl-1.60.1), and resetting
the generic link?

  just trying not to make a mess of things right off the bat.
i'll have plenty of time for that later.

p.s.  i went looking for an RPM of the new stuff, but found
a "docbook-xsl-129-1" at www.rpmfind.net.  not sure what that's
all about, but i'm pretty sure i don't want it.
