Bug#777698: RFA: xerces-c -- validating XML parser library for C++ (development files)
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the xerces-c package since I no longer have
time to maintain it.
The package description is:
Xerces-C++ is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of
C++. This package contains the development files for Xerces. It also
contains sources to various sample files. The libxerces-c-samples
package contains compiled versions of the samples.
Additional notes:
The xerces-c packages are low effort to maintain. They get very few
security updates and have very infrequent upstream releases. They are
also not widely used. These are good packages for a new maintainer who
wants the challenge of handling library packages or for group
maintenance by a group that handles other apache or xml-related tools or
by someone who maintains one of its few reverse dependencies and wants
to ensure that the xerces-c packages are in good shape.
