Hrm, I tried to post something earlier but bugzilla was b0rked at the time.

I've been in contact with some Debian people (who are working on packaging
Second Life for Debian) who have decided to take over upstream xmlrpc-epi
maintenance since the previous upstream is quite dead. They've been able to get
access to the Sourceforge project and it looks like they released a 0.52 tarball
which should have all the current needed patches merged.

They also pointed out PHP is carrying a private copy of xmlrpc-epi, they're
working on merging in the PHP changes (Which seems to consist of the same fixes
everyone else needs anyway) so PHP can be built against an external copy. Fedora
policy dictates we do likewise when this package is accepted, so I guess we need
to get the PHP maintainers in on this review...

I suggest reading through their ITP:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=413986

I suppose if someone really wants to take this package over, I wouldn't mind. I
already have my work cut out for me with the Second Life client itself... :)

Also of note, there was a rather vague message from a Linden Lab developer
saying xmlrpc is being phased out:

https://lists.secondlife.com/pipermail/sldev/2008-March/008733.html

Which would seem to imply the use of xmlrpc-epi in the SL client may be
discontinued at some point in the hand-wavey future.
