No Xerces-C++ packages in RHEL/CentOS 8

[Boris Kolpackov <bo...@codesynthesis.com>]

I see[1] that Xerces-C++ packages are no longer part of RHEL/CentOS 8.

Anyone knows the back story and if there are any alternative sources,
like Fedora's EPEL (web search didn't yield anything promising)?

Actually, scratch that, there is EPEL 8[2] and Xerces-C++ 3.2.2
is there[3].

They're in EPEL, I believe, so are still sort of "reachable".

Yes, much to my chagrin. I don't trust RH will maintain them, so I preferred they not be there.
