Re: Update of XMLUnit

Hi Mechtilde,

After reviewing the migration guide [1] and noting that XMLUnit2 has
changes licenses from BSD to Apache 2.0, I recommend creating a new
source package xmlunit2.

That will permit you to upload the new source package to unstable now
instead of experimental and/or waiting until after trixie is released.

During the forky (trixie+1) release cycle, we can set a release goal of
updating packages that still use XMLUunit 1.x to use xmlunit-legacy.
Once there are no more reverse-dependencies, we can ask for removal of
xmlunit(1).

Thank you for coordinating on the list and for packaging XMLUnit 2.x.

Cheers,
tony
