From looking at their website, we package the "Stable" release. They also have "Super Stable" and "Advanced". From what I can tell, Advanced is recent enough to support this. I suppose we can either update xmlrpc-c to build from advanced, or we can make a second xmlrpc-c-advanced package. I'm fine with either solution, so I'll leave this to Pierre's judgement.

I'll check if I could drop that package anyway. Nothing in our extra repo depends on it anymore.

I'll take it in community if need be.

Ao, just checked. xmlrpc-c is only used by rtorrent. Fell free to upload a new and fixed version to community and ping back so I can remove the one from extra. Thanks.

i made a pkgbuild to fix this for myself some time ago: http://pastebin.com/f2e33bba3

then just rebuild rtorrent from aur against this xmlrpc-c svn.

of course it would be better if the fixed packages could go into the repos instead..

tarball for that branch is available to ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/xmlrpc-c
