Christian,
I think I have signed you up as a project owner on both liblouis and
liblouisxml. Give it a try.
I'm glad you pointed out the post from Eitan with subversion
instructions. Somehow I missed that post (and I devoutly wish I
hadn't!). This may have produced some misuneerstandings. However, it's
not in the archives for June. What is the difference between the
archives and the posts?
I guess you can go ahead and just import the latest liblouisxml release
into its project. liblouis will be more complicated, as you have noted.
A while ago there were some messages about commits of Python bindings,
but when I do an svn update I don't get them. Also, I know that some
files are completely out of date, such as the README file. I have
updated the autotools files in my releases. The test cases may no longer
be valid. Eitan would have to weigh in on this. Unless we want to
preserve the test cases, I think it would be best to overwrite the
liblouis repository.
Thanks,
John
