Hi Raphaël, I think you and I had some previous discussions a long time back about potentially using Publican as the publishing platform for Debian Policy. This was always blocked on it being in DebianDoc-SGML.
Thanks to a ton of hard work by Guillem, finishing up the work that Osamu Aoki started, debian-policy Git head is now DocBook. It's currently using xsltproc and dblatex to generate its output (and my plan is to proceed with that for the near-term). Howerver, this now opens up the possibility of using better markup from the full suite of available DocBook markup, and to use other DocBook-aware publishing platforms like Publican if they produce better output. If you still think that Publican would potentially be useful for this, I'd love to chat! -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
