Rxvp is a validating XML parser. It's GPL'd. The code is already present in
Debian in non-free as part of festival (oddly, with a BSD-ish copyright); I
intend to package it as standalone code and possibly as a shared library
programs like festival can link to.

Is that rxp? I had announced an intent to package two months ago (never
appeared in wnpp). If you want it, have fun. The project I was going to use
it for has dried up.

Yes, they're the same program.

In fact, the "v" in rxvp seems to be a figment of my imagination. :-) The
package is rxp.

I'm the author of RXP. Thanks for packaging it. A couple of
clarifications:

- it's called RXP (the V is a typo).

- as you say, Festival is distributed under a different licence, and
the version or RXP in Festival may be older or otherwise different
from the GPLed version of RXP. RXP is also part of LT XML, an XML
toolkit (distributed under yet another licence). RXP, LT XML amd
Festival are all projects of the University of Edinburgh.
