[sr-dev] Should mi_xmlrpc be obsolete?

[Peter Dunkley]

Hello,

Did your patch update the module documentation too?
What about the module Makefile?

The module documentation for the devel branch states:

libxmlrpc-c3-dev version 0.9.10 or version 1.06.[10-30].

The module Makefile checks for these same versions and the build process is
very noisy if you don't have one of these versions.

CentOS 6 (and CentOS 5) come with xmlrpc-c 1.16.24 and the latest version
from SourceForge is 1.25.26.  The versions from the documentation are very
old:

   - 0.9.10 is from 2001
   - 1.06.10 is from 2007
   - 1.06.30 is from 2008

I can't believe that the latest Debian is using versions of xmlpc-c that
are five years or more old.  Incidently, the module in Git master won't
build on CentOS at all.

Regards,

Peter
