Hi,

Hadn't really followed Xalan-c up to now.
Also had not followed xerces-c-dev for some weeks due to exams.


First:

There is at least one PR pending for a xalan-c[1] port and I am currently
working on it (neither maintainer nor commit privs to freebsd ports
tree).

Had a xalan 1.4 port almost ready last Oct/Nov I think but neither
xerces-c2 nor icu2 ports got comitted so I didn't finisch and didn't
contribute to the open PR yet. If you want to give it a try (minor
corrections needed) please let me know.

The problem now is from what I can see, that my xerces-c2 2.3 port
update[2] is pending and Xalan 1.5 will not work with this due to API
changes.
I just checked xalan-c cvs and couldn't see any commits since 1.5
release. Is this really correct ? Do you know if anybody is working
on this ?
There will be at least one problem with
        xercesc_2_3::XMLTransService::makeNewTranscoderFor


Second (perhaps discuss this off-ist):

What exactly are your problems with FreeBSD and xerces-c ?
Which transcoder do you use [native|iconv|icu] ?
Do you use the port or do you compile xerces-c2 yourself ?


[1] The original Xalan PR (w/ my corrections) should be at:

[2] xerces-c2 2.3 update PR:
