Bug#784304: RFS: xerces-c/3.1.2+debian-1 [ITA] -- validating XML parser library for C++



Control: owner -1 !

Hi Bill,

let me also take a look at xerces.

As usual, my unsorted list of observations: 

- Please rebase your package to the latest version in Debian, to
include the NMU (3.1.1-5.1) from Salvatore Bonaccorso. 

*.doc 
- Don't install CREDITS and README.

d/control: 
 - (B-D) I think You only need dh-autoreconf, not both dh-autoreconf   
    and  autotools-dev
 - please wrap-and-sort... 
 - for doxygen generated dokumentation, do ignore the minified-js
-linitan (and add an override). Do not fix it with libjs-query, you can
get broken documentation. (There's a readme in the doxygen pacakge
about it)
  - doxygen should go into Build-Depends-Indep.
(Then you have either update the minimum dpkg-dev version to >= 1.16.2
or --better-- drop the version requirement -- it is already filfilled
in old-old-stable.

I'd turn the java dependency around -- first the headless and then the
normal one (the buildds will always take the first one, and I guess the
headless is "leaner" -- but I did not verify this claim )

d/copyright:
- The additional copyrights needs to go into the Copyright section of
the files; then delete the sentence "Additionally, portions..."
- Are the years up to date? (currently 1999-2007)

- As you're repacking anyway, please remove the useless Win32 project
folder-

Tobi
