Bug#535828: Jade changed



Joachim,

Serna uses only libsp, not jade. The changes are few, but they need patching the code (such patches include support for Russian KOI encodings, UTF-16, added hooks for possibility of external entity managers, etc.) If you can point to the original distribution of libsp which Debian uses, we may try to sumbit these changes to them.

Regards,

Hi,

as some of you might know, I’m looking at what has to be done to get
Serna into Debian.

At the moment, Serna ships its own copy of jade/libsp, with some
extensions to the interface. Such convenience copies of code are
strongly discouraged in Debian, as they make security support et. al. a
tedious task. Therefore, Serna should aim to run with the stock libsp as
provided on Debian.

Are the changes to libsp useful for the general public? If yes, did you
submit them to the libsp authors? If no, is there a way to move the
extended functionality out of the libsp copy, and into serna?

Thanks,
Joachim
