| SGML on Debian GNU/Linux: Implementation of the LSB Specification | ||
|---|---|---|
| << Prev | Chapter 3. R005--Configuration Files | Next >> |
In some cases, the original source files for DTD and/or stylesheet packages include configuration files such as the general entities module, dbgenent.mod, included in the DocBook XML distribution. Debian will place these type of files under /etc/sgml as recommended by the LSB spec, but will do so in ways that may depart from LSB in the following ways:
The upstream configuration files for <package>will be placed in the /etc/sgml subdirectory /etc/sgml/<package>/
Futhermore, a symbolic link with the same name as the configuration file will be placed in the directory where the majority of the packages files reside. This link will point to the configuration file in /etc/sgml/<package>/.
These configuration files will retain their original upstream names, which usually do not end with .conf.
