%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-17898273 The developer of xercesc3 gives
notice that it should not be used anymore]:
> I'd strongly advise pulling or at least deprecating (don't know the
official process) all the Macports relying on Xerces, they're all at risk
using this code or Xalan. I am the last maintainer left, I don't support
the Mac for my own software anymore, and once I'm fully off Xerces in a
few years, I seriously doubt it has a future unless somethiing changes.
>
> Whatever the official process is for retiring ports, I would be getting
the crank turning on that.
Please try to remove the xercesc3 dependency from your ports. If it is a
mandatory dependency, please work with the upstream developers to get it
removed from their code.
