textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base, because scheduled update of XML::SAX to 0.96
in textproc/p5-XML-SAX extracted XML::SAX::Base into an own distribution
again.
This module has a very simple task - to be a base class for PerlSAX drivers
and filters. It's default behaviour is to pass the input directly to the
output unchanged. It can be useful to use this module as a base class so
you don't have to, for example, implement the characters() callback.
the module XML::SAX:Base is at version 1.04 since 2002, no newer
release is available.
Since about the same time the Perl 5 module XML::SAX includes the
XML::SAX::Base module, the CHANGES file says:
0.11 03 Sep 2002 Matt Sergeant
- Base: Merged in XML::SAX::Base 1.04 (including memory leak fixes)
Hence the packages textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base and textproc/p5-XML-SAX
are conflicting.
To resolve this situation and as discussed with he@:
- Remove the package textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base.
- Make textproc/p5-XML-SAX conflicting with the now defunct
textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Base.
Bump PKGREVISION of textproc/p5-XML-SAX to 2.
- Adjust accordingly the dependencies of textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Writer:
make it depend on textproc/p5-XML-SAX.
Bump PKGREVISION of textproc/p5-XML-SAX-Writer to 1.

so you don't have to, for example, implement the characters() callback.
The main advantages that it provides are easy dispatching of events the right
way (ie it takes care for you of checking that the handler has implemented
that method, or has defined an AUTOLOAD), and the guarantee that filters
will pass along events that they aren't implementing to handlers downstream
that might nevertheless be interested in them.
