The w3C has implemented measures to discourage excessive DTD traffic
and to encourage caching the XML. See,
The W3C servers are slow to return DTDs. Is the delay intentional?

Many GNU/Linux distributions conveniently include these docbook
style sheets in a package. This package has been added to the
dependencies for building from source.
Also added and updated are commands related to installation on
OpenSUSE.
Active Linux software RAID devices are detected in the
Proc_Partitions_Info method. Hence the SWRaid method is no longer
required.
Removal of the SWRaid method fixes the problem with the error message:
Could not stat device /dev/md/0 - No such file or directory
This fixes the problem because we no longer use "mdadm --examine
--scan" in an attempt to detect Linux software RAID devices. The
mdadm command was returning device names such as /dev/md/0, which are
incorrect for GParted.
NOTE: With this change, GParted no longer requires the mdadm command
to detect Linux software RAID devices.
Closes Bug #678379 - Could not stat device /dev/md/0 - No such file or
directory
If gksu was installed on a KDE system (tested with kubuntu 12.04 LTS),
then gksu would prompt for the password three times and always fail to
load gparted. In a prior version of kubuntu 8.04 LTS, gksu would
properly invoke gparted from the "K --> System --> GParted" menu
entry.
Since gksudo also works on KDE (and kubuntu 12.04 LTS), add gksudo to
the root privilege invocation search list ahead of gksu.
Note that gksu has been kept for backwards compatibility with systems
that provide only gksu and not gksudo.
Related to Bug #687813 - Use kdesudo on KDE, as gksu is not
installed by default
Normally gksu is not installed by default on KDE systems. When
compiling and installing gparted on a KDE system without gksu, the
desktop menu entry would try to run gparted as the user, and not with
root privileges.
To fix this, add kdesudo to the search list of root privilege
invocation programs.
Closes Bug #687813 - Use kdesudo on KDE, as gksu is not installed by
default
Requires libparted 2.4 or higher, or blkid from utils-linux 2.20 or
higher for nilfs2 file system detection.
Requires nilfs-utils for nilfs2 file system support.
Closes Bug #642842 - nilfs is not detected
Usage of the kpartx package to create partition names has been
completely removed. Hence kpartx is no longer even an optionally used
package by gparted.
This change is related to the following bug report:
Ubuntu launchpad bug 719129 - [Natty] Gparted duplicates dmraid
partition devices
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/719129
The new configure option --enable-libparted-dmraid enables the native
use of /dev/mapper dmraid support in the libparted library.
If this option is not specified, or is disabled, then gparted code
will be used to support dmraid. The gparted code uses the old dmraid
partition naming scheme of always appending the partition number to
the device name. The letter 'p' is not inserted between the device
name and the partition number. The gparted code is particularly
useful when used with older versions of libparted that do not support
/dev/mapper dmraid.

With this patch the commands required to support motherboard BIOS
RAID, also known as fake RAID, are dmraid and dmsetup.
If the kpartx command is available, it will be used to maintain
device entries that follow the naming convention used by kpartx.
