Hi,

expat-2.0.1 is out since 5th June 2007. There were a number of bugs fixed so 
any chance to get this into portage? ;)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Elias Pipping (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-10 18:25:25 UTC
what's the status on this?

both patches,

 * expat-2.0.0-test-64bit.patch
 * expat-2.0.0-test-cpp.patch

have been applied upstream. expat 2.0.1 compiles with the old ebuild and the patches removed on my machine; passes all tests, too.
Comment 2 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-18 22:52:18 UTC
Caleb, are you still on to pushing expat-2 to the upcoming profiles as stable?
If it's bumped fast enough, maybe 2.0.1 would be a better choice.

For reference, please see

expat-2.0.1.ebuild.diff

Hi,

I have expat-2.0.1 installed for quite a while now on two ~x86 machines without any regressions so far. The only difference to the 2.0.0 ebuild are two dropped patches (see attached ebuild patch).

Cheers
Poly-C

Looks good here - I have bumped it. We are looking at stabilising KDE 3.5.7 and it would be good to get expat-2 stable at the same time. There is also a possibility of this coinciding with a Gnome stabilisation I believe.
Comment 5 N Addy 2007-07-22 16:45:11 UTC
THIS is stable?  Sheesh!

The expat.2.0.1 upgrade borked my entire system, even after revdep rebuilds.  WM functionality in gnome/metacity is GONE... as in no title bars/borders, no ability to move/drag windows, gconf won't register settings, applets don't work, etc.  I can get gnome to run but there is no basic window management functionality.

WM functionality from KDE is fine (after rebuilds).

Rather than send this bug off on a tangent I'm trying to find solutions in the forums, but this is a major headache.
Comment 6 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-22 16:57:57 UTC
You updated expat from which version?
Comment 7 N Addy 2007-07-22 23:46:19 UTC
From 1.95.8 to 2.0.1.  My bad really, I didn't notice the version change when I emerged world or I would not have updated without some research.

See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-571824.html for a brief description of the sequence of events.

Many people already ran into that expat trap: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-448550.html
