Bug#200460: libxalan-java



Hi!

I've managed to build Xalan-J 2.5.2 with Kaffe and Jikes and it even seems to run with Kaffe. So the main Xalan package could go into main!

I'd like to name the new source package in main libxalan-java (instead of libxalan_2_-java) since that's also the name that upstream uses. However, there's already an old Xalan-J version with that name in contrib, but this package is orphaned (#200460) and not maintained upstream any longer.

Any objections to taking the name? The libxalan2-java package in contrib will stay unchanged (at least for some time) since xalan2.jar bundled some external classes that are not in the new xalan.jar (this might break other packages that depend on libxalan2-java.) The new xalan.jar is compatible with the version that is in the old libxalan-java package so it will not break turbine which depends on libxalan-java.

Stefan
