[Package Request] - xerces-c #703

Open rooby opened 2 months ago

rooby commented 2 months ago

What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.

An XML parser library from Apache: https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/

Is this an update to existing package or new package request? New package.

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. Yes, it is on Amazon Linux 2.

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) Used by lots of other software programs. In my current case, it's a requirement for some functionalities of the geospatial data processing program GDAL, which is used by many downstream geospatial products.

We are also experiencing issues with the xerces-c library being missing from Amazon Linux 2023. This is a very common library in use with a large number of different applications and libraries and I am surprised it is missing as it was in Amazon Linux 2.
