Hi all
I haven't heard James input on this (I tried to talk to James over
Jabber but I guess he lives in a very different time zone).
In the interest of moving on I'm suggesting that we separate the two
things: One to get subversion set up and get John going with it. Two to
remove the stuff that should not be in svn (configure, etc, but this
seems subject to discussion). So What I'm suggesting is that I take the
latest tar ball of liblouisxml (1.7) and import it in svn. We can then
get John set up with svn get him acquainted with it. Once this is done
either Eitan or James can remove the files they think should be
generated in the 'make dist' process.
Would that be a workable approach? John, is 1.7 the newest source of
libxml or do I need to import something newer?
