[Fwd: Adoption of XML::Xalan into official Apache status]
Peoples,
This came up a couple of weeks ago. The general consensus was that it
should be put into the xalan-dev list, which I agreed to do and then got
myself completely side-tracked. (Jason - many apologies.)
Note that Jason is a busy man, so there is going to need to be some help
from others. My understanding is that once the basic stuff is set up it
should be reasonably easy to port from version to version.
I reckon a big +1 from here. My spare bandwidth is rather limited at
the moment, but I'd be happy to help where I can.
Thoughts? +/-?
Cheers,
Berin

Hey All,
Xerces-C has an official perl port, Xerces-P (XML::Xerces - in the
Perl universe) . There is already a perl port of Xalan-C, XML::Xalan,
but it has no representation at xml.apache.org. We'd like to see it
included, and would like to know how to proceed.
The approach taken with Xerces is to automatically wrap the C++
codebase using SWIG (www.swig.org) to generate the Perl module and the
C++ glue code. SWIG theoretically enables this work to be applied to
*any* scripting language, not just Perl - it currently supports
around 10 different scripting languages.
Perhaps the ports are better represented not as seperate modules
within the xml.apache.org framework, but instead as part of a 'ports'
section within the parent C++ project. By making the necessary SWIG
interface pieces as generic as possible we could hopefully garner more
ports (to say Python, Ruby, Guile, etc.) and thus more support for the
parent projects.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Cheers,
jas. (Xerces-P maintainer)

I'm willing to contribute what few spare cycles I have, too, as I've
already done some minimum work to get XML::Xalan working with Xalan C++
1.4 (and soon hope to have it working with 1.5).
I'm not a committer or anything, just an interested end-user and someone
who's tried to help get the ball rolling on this proposal.
I posted a pretty detailed build HOWTO for Xerces C++ 2.0.0/Xalan C++
1.4/Xerces Perl 2.0.0-3/XML::Xalan 0.44/ICU 2.4 for GNU/Linux systems to
the Xerces Perl dev list. I can post it here, as well, if it's useful.

+1
I'm willing to help too, although my spare time is also limited.
