Samael Bate commented on XERCESJ-1766:
--------------------------------------
I just added mvn coordinates for the latest releases to the description. It
seems that {{xerces:xerces}} was moved to {{xerces:xercesImpl}} which would
make [https://github.com/apache/xerces2-j/] the correct repo (as it's also the
linked homepage of the newer mvn artifactId).
Either way it would be good if someone with the right access within the ASF can
sort this out. I've made 6 pull requests to xerces-j without any indication
that it was a defunct repo. If the repo is redundant then it needs to be marked
as read-only
> please clearly mark which github repo is correct

> there are 2 github repos for Xerces:
> * [https://github.com/apache/xerces-j/] (last published artifact:
> {{{}xerces:xerces:2.4.0{}}})
> * [https://github.com/apache/xerces2-j/] (last published artifact:
> {{{}xerces:xercesImpl:2.12.2{}}})
> the xerces-j repo appears to be much more up to date than the xerces2-j one
> despite the fact that the xerces-j repo seems to be where most people are
> making pull requests.
> Neither provide a clear indication of the reason for having two repositories
> or which one is considered active.
> Looking at the history of each I can see that up until April 2019 they seem
> to have the same changes:
> [https://github.com/apache/xerces-j/commits/main]
> [https://github.com/apache/xerces2-j/commits/trunk/]
> although the commit hash's differ:

> If it is the case that [https://github.com/apache/xerces-j/] is the correct
> repo to use then please make the other one read-only with a note to let users
> know. It's confusing and could be wasting peoples time if they are making
> PR's to a dead repo. There are currently 10 pull requests on the
> [https://github.com/apache/xerces2-j/pulls] repo, perhaps they need rebasing
> onto xerces-j.
>
> also, please consider merging [https://github.com/apache/xerces-j/pull/1] as
> I have another branch that I want to make a pull request for but would like
> to at least have some CI in place first.
