Public bug reported:
libxml++-5.0 is a source-rename + new upstream version of libxml++2.6.
Upstream releases multiple API-incompatible versions of libxml++; the
deprecated 2.6 API currently in Ubuntu main, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0. These
are parallel-installable.
Debian is seeking to move users off libxml++2.6, and as a part of that
the Mir package in Debian has migrated to libxml++-5.0, and now syncd to
Ubuntu.
Mir is the only rdepend of libxml++2.6 in main; we should demote
libxml++2.6 to universe and bring libxml++-5.0 to main.
A diff of the 2.6 and 5.0 source packages shows no changes other than
2.6 -> 5.0 renamings, watch file updates, etc.
The source code diff between the 2.6 the 5.0 packages is largely
Glib::ustring -> ustring renames and trivial C++ idiom updates (adding
noexcept, std::move(), converting enum to enum class, etc). There are
some additional APIs, in parallel to some existing APIs being marked
deprecated, but this is no more than what you might expect from a new
upstream version; it is very substantially the same code.
** Affects: libxml++-5.0 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
