("ISC") + +See COPYRIGHT in the source root or http://isc.org/copyright.html for terms. + +The BIND v9 ARM master document is now kept in DocBook 5 XML format. + +Most of the ARM is in the single file "Bv9ARM-book.xml", with certain +other files included into it: + + - dlz.xml + - dnssec.xml + - libdns.xml + - logging-categories.xml + - managed-keys.xml + - notes.xml + - pkcs11.xml + - BIND man pages + +All of the published ARM formats - HTML, PDF, etc - are generated from +this master source. + +The file "notes.xml" contains the release notes for the current release. In +addition to being included in the ARM as an appendix, it is also built into +a stand-alone document: "notes.pdf" and "notes.html". + +Building these these files requires DocBook 5 and dblatex. These are +available as packages in many OS distributes; in debian, for example: + + $ sudo apt-get install docbook5-xml docbook-xml docbook-xsl-ns \ + docbook-utils dblatex + +To build all documentation, run "make doc". + +When committing changes or submitting patches, it is only necessary to +edit the XML source (i.e., the files with ".docbook" or ".xml" suffixes); +the files in HTML and man page format are built from the XML source by a +cron job. + +If you are familiar with SGML or HTML, editing the DocBook XML is quite +straightforward. You only need to know what the tags are and how to use +them. You can find a good resource either for this either online or in +printed form: + + DocBook: The Definitive Guide + By Norman Walsh and Leonard Muellner + ISBN: 156592-580-7 + 1st Edition, October 1999 + Copyright (C) 1999 by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
