Package: xalan Severity: serious Please update your build dependency on libxerces27-dev to one on libxerces-c2-dev instead. I will soon be requesting removal of the xerces27 packages. libxerces-c2-dev is xerces 2.8.0, which is supposed to be fully source compatible with xerces 2.7.0.
This represents the next-to-last step of the transition to the new xerces packaging. Starting when 3.0.0 enters unstable (it is still in beta in experimental), the libxerces-c-dev package will always point to the latest xerces-c development package in the archive. When your upstream provides a package that works with xerces-c 3, you can change your dependency to either libxerces-c-dev or libxerces-c3-dev, depending on whether you want to automatically try the next major release when it comes out (which could be years away). If you'd like an NMU, please let me know, and I'd be happy to oblige. I'll wait a few weeks before requesting removal of xerces27. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
