Hi Everyone,
I have finally managed to get through loic's eagle-eyes check
on my project , and libxmlsharp is registered in Savannah.gnu.org .
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libxmlsharp
I will briefy recount the history behind this project ..
[offtopic] ;)
-----------------
It all started when I was looking for a nice little project to test
pnet on. It needed to be simple , practically useful as well as possible
with Portable.Net. The end result has been libxml#
A chat on irc with DrMiaow almost convinced me to use Xerces , but
the problems wrapping C++ in C and again into C# gave me the creeps.
Also it was not a standard distro lib. After some time I finalized
libxml2 and proceeded with it for the fun of it.
After putting in about 8 hours of work , I found out that this was
indeed turning out to be useful. The decision to make it a real work
came after it started parsing a DOM correctly . Also this supports
parsing of Gzip'd xml files which was one of the points which I had
in mind.
Now in 3 brief days we have an Xml Parser for C# which is sufficently
functioning.
----------------
[Future Plans & Problems]
I have decided to fork this back into pnet/otherlibs CVS once this is
fully functional.
The project remains under non-gnu currently due to (C) assign problems.
But I'm keeping the possibility of making it a DotGNU project in the
near future . And the libs are namespaced as "dotgnu.xml" and not as
"libxml". If this is inacceptable , would someone from DotGNU SC
please mail me .
All interested developers may contact me for CVS commit access ....
-----------
Another point I would like to raise is about a libgzip# for pnet, anyone
want to port gcj's java.util.zip.GzipInputStream to C# ?. My work
has (hopefully) cleared the way for people desperate to PInvoke with
Pnet.
