[Ben Harper <ben.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

With the new release of the lxml module[0], it now requires a newer 
version of libxslt(-devel) than what Red Hat provides in EL 5. 
Typically, IUS does not want to build a whole chain of dependencies, as 
we want our packages built off stock EL. We have had made exceptions in 
the past if it is worth the effort. Please note if IUS were to build a 
libxslt27u package, manually steps would been needed to upgrade libxslt 
to libxslt27u as IUS packages do not obsolete stock packages.

I am trying to determine if there is still a need for this package.  Since Python 2.6 has been EOL'd since October 29, 2013[1], should we just EOL all pyton26 modules (python26-elixir, python26-jsonschema, python26-lxml and python26-memcached)?

Please let us know if you use any of the python26 modules, if you feel we should EOL them or if you have other ideas on how we should proceed.

Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team
