This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora.
Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 4 Roger Leigh 2020-11-23 22:38:15 UTC
Please note that since this bug was filed, I've released Xalan-C version 1.12 (https://github.com/apache/xalan-c/releases/tag/Xalan-C_1_12_0).  This includes a new CMake build and should be easier to package than with the older build that wasn't using the autotools particularly effectively and was quite fragile and non-standard.

Comment 6 Ben Beasley 2020-12-01 17:14:09 UTC
I am the new volunteer maintainer of this package in Fedora.

I have packaged the new upstream release 1.12.0. Those interested may already inspect the new spec file in Pagure, and a Koji scratch build for Rawhide is available at https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=56532547. The new package will be built for Rawhide on 2020-12-08.

Indeed, the new version is much easier to package! I appreciate it.

It looks like it will be straightforward to backport this new package to EPEL8 with only trivial spec file changes, so expect this issue to be resolved in the next few weeks.
