Hello folks, First, I wanted to introduce myself and mention that I and Quanah Gibson-Mount are currently working on packaging Shibboleth for Debian and therefore are also packaging XML-Security-C as a prerequisite. Quanah has finished a first pass at the packaging and I'm currently working on a few refinements. I expect to upload packages to Debian unstable sometime in the next couple of weeks.
If there are any questions or concerns over XML-Security-C being packaged for Debian, please don't hesitate to let me know. Second, and this is one of those things that doesn't really matter but I promised to at least ask, there were a few Debian developers who responded to my Intent to Package notification who were wondering why the package was called XML-Security-C when it was written in C++. Is there an explanation I should give them on why it's not called XML-Security-C++ in the tarball and other parts of the distribution? This is purely aesthetic, but since multiple people noticed it, it seemed worth at least asking about. (My guess is that part of the issue is that the library name has been encoded in other applications that depend on it and isn't worth changing.) Apologies if this is a constant topic of discussion. I checked through the last year or so of the list archives and didn't see any obvious threads, but I could well have missed it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
