[Pkg-tcltk-devel] tDOM review & sponsorship

[Stefan Sobernig]

Dear Sergei,
Dear Frankie,

Héctor and I have finished the adoption and pollishing of tDOM
0.8.3 (CVS HEAD)[*], including support for shared expat:

> As far as I understand, the current version uses internal expat. I
> think it's unacceptable. We should use libexpat from Debian. An
> example of patches which allow to use system-wide expat could be found
> at svn://bamboo.nes.ru/debian/tcl/tdom/trunk

See dpatch 
http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/*checkout*/pkg-tcltk/tdom/trunk/debian/patches/shared-expat.dpatch?rev=615 
for details. The patch deviates a bit from the one in 
svn://bamboo.nes.ru/debian/tcl/tdom/trunk, namely it avoids the VPATH 
adjustment in Makefile.in (to allow builds with bundled expat, used as 
fallback strategy) and adds preprocessor conditionals for expat 1.95 vs. 
expat 2. This allows to support both building against expat 1.95 + 2 (as 
2.0.1 is currently prepared for roll-out by the Debian XML/SGML group) 
as the package name/ SONAME etc. will not change according to the group 
(see email attached).

We also introduced a tdom-dev package. Based on Lintian 1.25.45, the 
packages are lintian clean.

We would kindly ask for your review and a sponsored upload.

Héctor + Stefan
