[ANN] libxml and libxslt CVS

[Trans]

Hi all,

I am happy to announce that the XML:Tools project on Rubyforge is now
hosting CVS repository for Ruby's bindings to the libxml2 and libxslt
gnu libs. If anyone is interested in working with these libs please let
me know and I can provide development access. The project page is
http://rubyforge.org/projects/xml-tools/.

For the record, this code appearently hasn't had a "home" for some
time, so I have simply taken it upon myself to give it one. I have
tried contacting Sean Chittenden, the last maintainer, but have not
received a response (I hope he is okay.) So I assume what I am doing
here is acceptable, and hopefuly of value to the community.

Thanks,
T.

Thank you, that's wonderful. XML libraries seem to be a dime a dozen,
unless you want validation. When the libxml2 binding was available only
from FreeBSD ports archives, I thought it might be in trouble, but I'm
glad this has been picked back up.

I talked to Sean some time ago about this; he wasn't using ruby, and had
no desire to maintain the libraries. I'm glad someone picked these up; I
hate maintaining debian packages w/ dead upstreams.
