1  NOTE: 
 2    - the head of this module is package libxml-2 . There is incompatibilities
 3      with the old libxml-1 headers. I posted on gnome-hackers a recipe to
 4      change your code to compile with both, check it out ! Also read
 5      http://xmlsoft.org/upgrade.html
 6    - in the meantime the old 1.x code has been tagged with LIB_XML_1_BRANCH
 7      extract this version and drop me a mail if you want me to take care of
 8      the update of your module to libxml-2 <daniel@veillard.com>
 9    - the 1.x branch has a separate commit policy, please check the HACKING
10      file for this branch

12       Rules for commits on the gnome-xml module
13       =========================================
14  
15    BEFORE READING FURTHER: DO NOT COMMIT DIRECTLY !
16  
17   In the exceptional case where a serious breakage in this module
18  prevents other core projects from making progress, then feel free
19  to patch first and send mail afterward as long as the changes are limited.
20  Please keep in mind that a large part of my user base is on Windows, so
21  be careful with potential portability problems there.
22  
23  Otherwise, send me (veillard@redhat.com) a mail and if it's a bug
24  issue, register it at bugzilla.gnome.org (module libxml). I check both
25  my mail and the bug database on a regular basis. If you don't get an
26  answer within a week (which is highly unprobable) then commit your changes.
27  This simply mean that I'm on holliday or on the road.
28  
29    thanks in advance for following the rule,
30  
31  Daniel

33  P.S.: Bjorn Reese, William Brack, Thomas Broyer, Igor Zlatkovic and
34        Aleksey Sanin get an exception for the send before commit rule
35        as well as John Fleck for the doc maintenance Send them mail if
36        I don't answer to request in a timely fashion
