Hi,
I just want to give a heads up on discussions related to Xerces, which in the future might affect (the availability) the GDAL drivers depending on named library. The maintainer of Xerces noted in November last year: "I'd strongly advise pulling or at least deprecating (don't know the official process) all the Macports relying on Xerces, they're all at risk using this code or Xalan. I am the last maintainer left, I don't support the Mac for my own software anymore, and once I'm fully off Xerces in a few years, I seriously doubt it has a future unless somethiing changes." [1] Indeed, unless something happens regarding future maintenance of Xerces, the following drivers might be in the risk zone: - "INTERLIS 1" and "INTERLIS 2" drivers - GMLAS - Geography Markup Language (GML) driven by application schemas - NAS - ALKIS Maybe expat or libxml2 can be used as replacement?
