Example 2. A possible aptate configuration file
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE opt SYSTEM "file:///usr/share/apt4rpm/aptate.dtd">
<!--
This is an example aptate configuration file. It shows most of aptate's
elements and element attributes. A nice way to create this file is by
using xemacs in pgsml mode. Xemacs in this mode will be of great help,
as it gives you a gui to make this configuration file. Make sure though
that the filename ends at ".xml"!
All possibilities are described in the manual, that can be found at:
file:///usr/share/doc/packages/apt4rpm/dtd-manual/dtd-manual.book.home.html
