Hello All!
I'm no longer using Xerces-C, so I believe, I can't maintain it
anymore. Feel free to pick it up. Any volunteers?

I use it with VirtualBox-OSE (thanks to Xavier for pointing me here). I
won't mind picking the package up.

Great.
Unfortunately, I've got difficulties while releasing ownership (
https://fedorahosted.org/packagedb/ticket/173 ).

I've seen that once too; I believe it's supposed to be a feature that
reassigns the package to another maintainer when he releases ownership
instead of orphaning, though looks a bit broken.

Looking at the pkgdb page of the package it seems like xavierb is a
maintainer (well, has approveacls powers) as well. Are you sure you want
another maintainer and not just hand the package to xavierb?

It should never be done automatically.

My interest is mostly in the EL-4 and EL-5 branches. Actually, I'm mostly
interested in the perl bindings and that needs an older version (2.7.0)
and hence I also own the xerces-c27 compat package.

We discussed this package with Peter and other people off-list and at
least Jonathan Robie was interested in taking the package over.

Regards,
Xavier

Seems that things are getting even worse. I found the only way to
completely resign from the maintainership of xerces-c - by pressing
the "Retire Package" button. And now the package has "Deprecated"
status and no other buttons are active.

"Retire package" is for when you want to completely remove a package from
the distribution, it was the "big red button" you were not supposed to hit.
Now only a cvsadmin can fix your mess. But you'd have needed an admin anyway
to reassign ownership directly and thus bypass this "automatically reassign
to the comaintainer" "feature".

Sorry for the empty message I was going to say:

I've changed the pkg owner to jonathanrobie as per the message earlier in
this thread. I was going to look into the bug that's at the root of this
yesterday but too many other projects came up so I didn't get around to it.
Looking at that today.
