xerces24 is gone, and I've now requested removal of xerces23 and closed its outstanding bugs. I didn't bother creating the dummy RC bug since I'm expecting the removal request to be answered promptly, but I can do that if you want (or you can) if you want to remove it from sarge rather than waiting for it to happen automatically. Since xerces25 is needed for libxml-xerces-perl, let's plan to have xerces25 and xerces26 in sarge. I'll close the bug against xalan since there's no reason to force it to use a version of xerces it doesn't want to. For the other three packages, I'll still encourage the users to depend upon xerces26 if they can. Who knows -- maybe XML::Xerces 2.6.0 will be released soon (not likely) and Berin will package xalan 1.9 before sarge. Then we can dump xerces25 without bothering gdal, qgis, and anon-proxy. (I'm not holding my breath.) Anyway, unless you object, I'll move forward with this plan. --Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
