Bug#843604: RFS: xerces-c/3.1.4+debian-1 [RC]

[Bill Blough <devel@blough.us>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "xerces-c"

 * Package name    : xerces-c
   Version         : 3.1.4+debian-1
   Upstream Author : Xerces-C developers <c-dev@xerces.apache.org>
 * URL             : https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/
 * License         : Apache 2.0
   Section         : libs

  It builds those binary packages:

 libxerces-c-dev - validating XML parser library for C++ (development files)
 libxerces-c-doc - validating XML parser library for C++ (documentation)
 libxerces-c-samples - validating XML parser library for C++ (compiled samples)
 libxerces-c3.1 - validating XML parser library for C++

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/xerces-c


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xerces-c/xerces-c_3.1.4+debian-1.dsc

  More information about hello can be obtained from https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/

  Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release
  * Removed patches that are no longer needed (applied upstream)
  * Compile with curl support to allow accessing https urls.  Closes: #821380
  * Added patch to fix some compiler warnings (forwarded upstream)

  In addition, I'm hopeful that the new upstream release will resolve the
  FTBFS issue on s390x (bug 833754), however I don't know that for sure.

  Regards,
   Bill Blough
