hi
Its good to know that a Redhat developer has commited himself for this work.
fedora can work with apt,yum and up2date repositories thru the up2date tool.
this makes the single rpm unnecessary. if it can auto resolve dependencies
then ldp-author-tools should be a meta package not an actual one. in case of
earlier redhat versions the rpms necessary for docbook are already available.
tools
db2html ...
xmlto
If its a single rpm i will be bloated not to mention dependency issues when
upgrading it anytime. I am not sure if rpm supports meta packages. If it does
meta package is the only good solution. The redhat developer should be aware
of this. please consult with him
