Bug#1063851: libxml++2.6: Newer version exists in the 2.x branch

[Guillermo Frontera]

Package: libxml++2.6-2v5
Version: 2.40.1-3build3
Severity: wishlist
File: libxml++2.6
X-Debbugs-Cc: gfrontera.oss at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

The libxml++ project moved to GitHub (as announced here: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/libxmlplusplus-list/2020-January/msg00000.html). However, the tracker (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libxml++2.6) is still monitoring the old repository.

Since then, several new versions have been released in the 2.x branch, the latest being 2.42.3 (whereas the latest tracked version is 2.40.1). The latest version is available at https://github.com/libxmlplusplus/libxmlplusplus/releases/tag/2.42.3.

Please, update the Debian Package Tracker with the latest homepage and Git repo and provide a packaged version with the latest version of the library in the 2.x branch.
