Hi,

I have just released two builds of Calabash, the XProc
processor developed by Norman Walsh.

Those are non-official builds. But it is impossible to add
support for the Packaging System for Calabash only in the user
space, because it does not provide (yet) with a config API to
allow a third-party library to configure the underlying processor
(Saxon, Jing, etc.)

Those builds are based on the same Subversion revision as the
corresponding official versions (the two latest version: 0.9.24
and 0.9.28). They do not include the parts depending on
commercial products, like XEP and DeltaXML. I modified Calabash
to provides an access to the underlying processors. The
Packaging System itself is implemented in expath-repo.

Please see the README file in the distribution for install more
info. The archives are downloadable from (look at the files
expath-calabash-0.9.*.zip):

http://code.google.com/p/expath-pkg/downloads/

This is far from being an optimal solution, but this is
required for now to anyone who wants some support for the
Packaging System in Calabash.

Let's hope the next Calabash version will include such a
mechanism :-)

Regards,

Hi Florent & mail-list,

This problem at developing quite usual, because missing common API. (we
have servlet spec, but don't have servlet container API :-(

Maybe, it's time to define API too? (ready to help with that)
