libxpc should be open-sourced

Originator:B.Gesiak
Number:rdar://26187442 Date Originated:09-May-2016 10:29 PM
Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 7.3.1 (7D1014)
Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
libxpc is an incredibly useful inter-process communication library for OS X. Like libdispatch (https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch), it would be great if open-source work could be done to port it to Linux. It would also help with Swift 3 goals such as porting SourceKit (heavily dependent on libxpc) to Linux.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libxpc in your favorite browser.

Expected Results:
A web page hosting the source code to libxpc is displayed.

Actual Results:
A 404 is returned.

Regression:
Describe circumstances where the problem occurs or does not occur, such as software versions and/or hardware configurations.

Notes:
Provide additional information, such as references to related problems, workarounds and relevant attachments.
