Re: pkg/47488: textproc/xalan-c got removed; find replacement in wip/xalan-c

[Noud de Brouwer <no...@home.nl>]

Dear Apache Xalan-c users and devs,

NetBSD seems to take position your product xalan-c
is replaced by xqilla,
them thinking the packages are doing/for the same.

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2011/02/23/msg052329.html
 , is textproc/xqilla not a sufficient successor?


http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/textproc/xalan-c/Attic/Makefile?hideattic=0&only_with_tag=MAIN
"Revision 1.30, Wed Feb 23 08:37:41 2011 UTC (23 months, 1 week ago) by adam 
Branch: MAIN 
Changes since 1.29: +1 -1 lines
FILE REMOVED

Removed textproc/xalan-c"

Them did already throw xalan-c out there Applications collection,
and up till now them take there position in xqilla being replacement for xalan.

while whole is already addressed and explained to them:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=47488

Can you be so kind to correct the NetBSD OS and Platform of Applications.

thanks,
-- noud
