Re: [EP-tech] <epc:list> not implemented for 3.4.x

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi David,

Thank you, I appreciate it and will look forward to having this
functionality hopefully in 3.4.4.

In the meantime, it took a little while but I found a way to port it in
temporarily from v3.3. In case this is useful for anyone else, in
archives/[name]/cfg/plugins/EPrints/Plugin/MyEPC.pm (say):

```
package EPrints::Plugin::MyEPC;
use strict;
our @ISA = qw/ EPrints::Plugin /;

# Mostly the same as EPrints::XML::EPC::process

sub process
{
    ...
    if ( $name =~
    m/^(if|comment|choose|print|debug|phrase|pin|foreach|set|list)$/ )
    {
        my $fn = "EPrints::XML::EPC::_process_$name";
        ...
    }
    ...

    if ( $node->hasChildNodes )
    {
        $collapsed->appendChild(
            EPrints::XML::EPC::process_child_nodes( $node, %params )
        );
    }
    return $collapsed;
}

package EPrints::XML::EPC;

BEGIN
{
    delete $EPrints::XML::EPC::{process};
    *EPrints::XML::EPC::process = \&EPrints::Plugin::MyEPC::process;
}

sub _process_list
{...}
```

Probably could be done more elegantly but it's working so far as a
stopgap.

Many thanks,
Alex.
