You mean you don't know what they are for (in which case I will just move them to attic) or you don't know whether we should keep them in Xerces-C++? Are they used in Xerces-P at all? > I'd like to keep them with the swig directory, but it would be > possible to move them elsewhere. If we are to keep them in swig then the whole idea of having only language-independent part in Xerces-C++ becomes moot since these two directories (especially interfaces/Perl) appear to be very language-dependent and I would imagine similar directories would need to be added for other languages. So I think we should either make swig truly minimal and language- independent (and move these two directories to Xerces-P) or we should move the whole swig out of Xerces-C++. > > Also, do we need to install anything from swig (and if so, where) > > so that dependant packages (e.g., Xerces-P) don't require source > > distribution of Xerces-C++. > > Ah....

Package maintainers are exactly the people who complain about this arrangement (see email from Jay in this thread who is maintaining Debian packages). > I'm open to changing this plan - but it is complicated - and I am in > the mood to be simple. I don't care either way. It is just making maintainer's life complicated may result in your package being left out of major repositories.
