Thread: New version of XML support routines (0.2)
Dear all, One announcement and two questions! 1. I've now produced an updated version (and called it 0.2) of my XML parser interface code. It now uses libxml2 instead of expat (though I've left the old code in the tarball). This means *proper* XPath support, and the provided function allows you to wrap your result set in XML tags to produce a new XML document. 2. Question: I have uploaded the code to the same website as before http://cabbage.uklinux.net/. Is this the right thing to do, or would posting it here (to -patches) as an attachment be the right thing to do? 3. Question: Given the discussion triggered about PostGIS, should this be in contrib at all? Should I just maintain it as a separate module on my site, and have it listed as an available extension somewhere? That means that I'm not wasting people's time inserting it every time I revise it. In case this is relevant: It is 7k as a tar.gz and 44k unpacked. Any comments? Regards John [note changed e-mail address, jgray@azuli.co.uk -it was jgray@beansindustry.co.uk]] PS If anyone is finding this at all useful, I'd be glad to know!

Well, it is a 'conversion' utility, and all those are in /contrib now. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

Sorry for the previous email. I found the proper URL and updated contrib/xml to this version. Thanks. > Dear all, > > One announcement and two questions! > > 1.
