Hi,

the same problem is faced by users of recent popular RPM based distributions. 
Gutsy will be released in october, and the the next debian stable will also 
probably use the new version. So if we want that openser 1.3 work with this 
distributions the support of the new libxmlrpc is necessary. The alternative 
is to disable the mi_xmlrpc functionality in the packages for this 
distributions.

We have three weeks left before we want to freeze the codebase and enter the 
testing mode for the next release. I would like to minimize the functionality 
changes in the test phase to get the most of it.

Cheers,

Henning
