[xmlwrapp-users] How to replace deprecated function: xml::tree_parser::get_error_message() const'

[Tom B. <tom...@gm...>]

Using the master branch I get this warning:

  const std::string& xml::tree_parser::get_error_message() const' is deprecated

i am using the deprecated funciton this way:

      cout << parser.get_error_message() << endl;

I tried this:

      cout << parser.messages() << endl;

but get an ostream error.

So what is the correct way?

Thanks,

-Tom

[xmlwrapp-users] Question of Official Maintainer of xmlwrapp

[Peter J. <ml...@pm...>]

Tom,

Would you please take a few minutes to publicly post your reasons for
removing myself and others as admins of the SF.net xmlwrapp project.
Specifically Václav, who has been keeping the project alive for the last
few years without our help.

Thank you.

May I ask why felt the need to do this? And what are your plans with
xmlwrapp now?

"This" above refers, of course, to what you silently did two days ago
with sf.net/projects/xmlwrapp, still xmlwrapp's home: removing me (the
maintainer of xmlwrapp for the last 3.3 years) not only from the admins
list, but completely from the project — along with, apparently,
everybody else [1]. And changing the description to say that the
official xmlwrapp source repository,
https://github.com/vslavik/xmlwrapp, is just "a fork".

I'm really baffled by this, to be honest.

For the benefit of the public record, here's a brief summary of
xmlwrapp's recent history:
Back in 2008, xmlwrapp stagnated: no new commits were made (the last
ones were from 2005 [2]), patches were rotting in the tracker unapplied
and without any acknowledgment. Relying on such a library didn't look
safe, so I, together with Vadim Zeitlin, approached Peter Jones, the
original author, Eric Beyeler and Tom Browder (then-admins of
sf.net/projects/xmlwrapp) with the proposal that we'll take over
maintainership of the project to keep it alive. The driving motivation
was that we wanted to avoid a fork, be it private or public, because
forks are bad (I'm an old school Open Source guy that way).

The response was unconditionally positive (Eric: "If you want to, it's
all yours. I simply haven't had time to do anything with it"; Tom
Browder: "Concur--please feel free to take it over." and "Vaclav, you
have the whole ball of wax!  Thanks, and good luck." a bit later; even
Peter stepped in to thank everybody for keeping xmlwrapp alive). And so
I did.

Over the three+ years and 100+ changesets since then, I did much more
than what I needed personally: from the general cleanup and
modernization, to fixing various problems, making several releases,
improving performance and adding new APIs. I honestly don't think I
neglected anything in maintaining the library and I more than earned my
place in xmlwrapp history. Seeing all that dismissed as just some fork
offends me deeply.

Tom, what makes this even more puzzling is that you didn't show much
interest in xmlwrapp in that 3+ years. You mentioned Debian packages in
late 2010, to which I offered passive support, but that wasn't exactly a
contribution: not only is distro-packaging an affair external to the
library itself, it apparently didn't work out, as packages.debian.org
still doesn't list xmlwrapp. Then you complained about the move to
github in September 2011
(https://groups.google.com/d/topic/xmlwrapp/8JPNmQ4vUfI/discussion),
despite being off active xmlwrapp development for 5 years. But you
seemed to accept the explanation [3] and didn't pursue it further.

So why do you now, out of the blue, fork off xmlwrapp, take advantage of
the official home (it's kind of hard to be the maintainer when I don't
control the home and can't even upload release tarballs...) and do all
that under the radar? Instead of working in the normal Open Source way
of cooperating on shared codebase?

Thanks,
Vaclav

[xmlwrapp-users] xmlwrapp development moved to GitHub

[Václav S. <vs...@gm...>]

Hi,

I moved source code repository from SVN hosted on SourceForge to git, hosted on GitHub. 
I also moved the bug tracker over to much simpler and faster GitHub Issues.

The new home page is at https://github.com/vslavik/xmlwrapp

I also moved the mailing list off SourceForge, because dealing with spam is as cumbersome as the rest of SF.net experience over there (although xmlwrapp-users manages to escape the attention for now, it's only getting worse with other SF.net mailing lists I administer).

The new mailing list is at http://groups.google.com/group/xmlwrapp

I already notified subscribers about the transition; if you didn't get the message for some reason, please subscribe to the new list as the old ones will be closed.

Thanks,
Vaclav

Well I guess I meant as an advocate of xmlwrapp which of course you
are.  Aren't you using it professionally?  That would be a plus of
course.

Thanks.

Hm, are you suggesting I might not want to jump in there?  So far I've
not seen any unusual rancor (as opposed to the Ubuntu lists).

I don't know what this "moral support" thing is here. I'll apply a (good) patch if such is submitted, of course, and if you have technical questions, just ask.

Again, no idea what you mean here. FWIW, I have no desire to get involved in Debian politics in any way, I've seen enough of that.

Not any time soon I'm afraid -- at the moment, I can't afford to do more
maintainership than applying patches and adding things that I need
myself (or that I'm hired to implement). It's on the wish list and I
would gladly accept a patch adding it, though.
