[EP-tech] Re: [FIX] missing entities

Incidentally, I can see that our phrase files all start with:

    <!DOCTYPE phrases SYSTEM "entities.dtd">
    
    <epp:phrases xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
            xmlns:epp="http://eprints.org/ep3/phrase";
            xmlns:epc="http://eprints.org/ep3/control";>
    ...

Can anyone briefly explain to me how the XML engine knows (or rather, _should_ know) that the "entities.dtd" actually refers to the file in eprints/lib/ ?  Should it be changed to an absolute path, or even a file:// URL?

Hi,

It looks like Ubuntu 13 has replicated the bug from RHEL *sigh*.

The next stable 3.3 will remove entities from EPrints, which works around this bug.

/Tim.
