Description Yaakov Selkowitz 2007-06-20 20:29:33 UTC 
As part of the transition to the current gtkmm-2.4+ API, should not the libxml++ dependency be updated to the 2.6+ API as well?
Comment 1 Yaakov Selkowitz 2007-06-20 21:53:37 UTC 
Forgive me for answering my own question, but perhaps it is as simple as changing the pkg-config check from "libxml++-1.0 >= 1.0" to "libxml++-2.6"?  I tried it with 0.6.90, and it builds and appears to work properly.  Could someone more familiar with passepartout could test this further?
Comment 2 Sven Herzberg 2007-06-22 15:54:46 UTC 
Hrmmm... Ubuntu 7.04 still doesn't seem to have libxml++-2.6.

When I read the release announcement of libxml++ 2.6.0, I thought that we might support both (as they are widely compatible):
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2004-April/msg00131.html

So, if you adjust configure.ac to check for 2.6 and - in case of failure - try to fall back to 1.0, I have no objections.

Do you want to provide a patch?

Ubuntu 7.04 definitely has libxml++-2.6. It's used by Glom, for instance.
Comment 4 Yaakov Selkowitz 2007-06-22 17:46:11 UTC 
FYI, libxml++-2.6 is over three years old, so I'm sure that every major distro will have it by now.

What's the package name then?

apt-cache search libxml++ | grep 2.*6 doesn't show enything except libneon26
