I would appreciate examples of some common tasks like validating |
| 16 |
projects.xml, but since we don't have those now, it's not critical. |
| 17 |
This used to be kinda straightforward with xmllint, |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
$ xmllint --valid --noout projects.xml && echo "OK" |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
but now that www.gentoo.org is on HTTPS, even that doesn't work. There's |
| 22 |
an example in the devmanual that needs updating along those lines (at |
| 23 |
the bottom of the page). In fact, all of the herds junk needs to be updated: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/misc-files/metadata/ |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Our DTDs are available under https://www.gentoo.org/dtd/ -- do we need |
| 28 |
to put the rnc files somewhere accessible? Or do we only need the DTDs |
| 29 |
public for the DOCTYPE declarations? |

Thanks for preemptively hacking repoman. |
