[csw-users] large package update in testing/

[Ben Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I've placed a large set of packages in testing/ that are all
interrelated.  This update will see $sysconfdir move from /opt/csw/etc
to /etc/opt/csw for all packages listed.

asciidoc-8.4.5,REV=2009.09.18-SunOS5.8
docbookdsssl-1.79,REV=2009.09.15-SunOS5.8
docbookdtds-4.5,REV=2009.09.16-SunOS5.8
docbookxsl-1.74.3,REV=2009.09.11-SunOS5.8
docbookxsldoc-1.74.3,REV=2009.09.11-SunOS5.8
libxml2-2.7.3,REV=2009.09.12-SunOS5.8
libxml2-2.7.3,REV=2009.09.12-SunOS5.8
libxml2_devel-2.7.3,REV=2009.09.12-SunOS5.8
libxslt-1.1.24,REV=2009.09.08-SunOS5.8
libxslt_devel-1.1.24,REV=2009.09.08-SunOS5.8
openjade-1.3.2,REV=2009.09.11-SunOS5.8
py_libxml2-2.7.3,REV=2009.09.12-SunOS5.8
py_libxslt-1.1.24,REV=2009.09.08-SunOS5.8
sgmlcommon-0.6.3,REV=2009.09.13-SunOS5.8
xmlcommon-0.6.3,REV=2009.09.13-SunOS5.8
xmlto-0.0.23,REV=2009.09.22-SunOS5.8

As many of these packages register themselves in one or more shared
catalog files, there isn't a good way to update this stack except as a
batch operation.  The script at
http://mirror.opencsw.org/testing/update_xml_pkgs.sh should ease this
process for you as it removes packages in an order that won't break
dependencies (among this stack) and then re-adds them in the order they
were removed, taking into account packages you don't have on a
particular machine.

If you use any of these packages and have a chance to test the update
on a machine or two, I'd appreciate the feedback.  They all seem to
work for me after the upgrade, but since it's a very large, invasive
change, I'd like wider testing before release.

Thanks
-Ben
