Every DocBook user have a CATALOG file and not a > specific SuSe CATALOG.docbk30 in /usr/share/sgml. The patch to the Makefile only adds comments and whitespace, unless activated. Catenating the installed CATALOG files in a Suse system into a single CATALOG does produce warnings on a Suse system, because (your diagnosis) Suse offers docbk30 as well as docbk31 at the same time and these are incompatible. If this is so, being able to select the location of the CATALOG file without pain is necessary on such systems and may be valuable on other systems as well (for example, because it allows you to give the location of a nonstandard CATALOG, which you are forced to use because you do not have write permission to the one single CATALOG in the standard location). I will not reverse this patch, because it ports the phpdoc Make process on another platform, if enabled, has value on other platforms as well if enabled and is neutral (comment only) by default. > Almost all people use Red Hat or Debian. While it is true that the sum of Red Hat and Debian users is larger than the sum of Suse users, it is untrue that the number of Suse users is neglegible. It is certainly untrue that "Almost all people use Red Hat or Debian". Also, I cannot see how this contributes to the discussion of our problem or how it advances the completion of the PHP documentation. I suggest that you reevaluate your "Wrong OS" perspective in the context of this project (which for example even covers Windows NT and AIX, among many other platforms).
