Ok, so if I understand correctly what has been said in the thread,

we want is not compat-xerces-c but xerces-c27. I have forked a new spec
from the original xerces-c spec. It should be almost good to go (I still
need to clean up the descriptions and summaries. I may also remove the
-doc subpackage).

The last remaining problem is the /usr/lib/libxerces-c.so and
/usr/lib/libxerces-depdom.so symlinks. They will conflict with the
regular xerces-c-devel package. They are currently excluded. Is that the
right thing to do ?
No, because then you cannot compile/link against those libraries.
If Fedora policies do permit explicit "Conflicts:" with xerces-c-devel,
do that. Else relocate any conflicting files to a new directory, so you
can link with -L/usr/lib/xerces-c-2.7 -lxerces-c for example.
