I don't think it is a good idea to make a release that does not build cleanly on such a popular platform as GNU/Linux. The only result will be more people migrating away to other parsers (e.g., Expat and libxml2). Xerces-C++ already has a reputation of being slow and, putting it mildly, unnatural to work with. I believe a better way to get more visibility is to put some effort and ship a quality release. As I mentioned in one of my posts to this list, I am prepared to act as a release manager and push for 3.0 after 2.8.0 is out. -boris -- Boris Kolpackov Code Synthesis Tools CC http://www.codesynthesis.com Open-Source, Cross-Platform C++ XML Data Binding --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
