Description:   Opened: 2004-07-13 02:25 0000 
It'd be nice to have libxml2 2.6.11 and libxslt 1.1.8 available in Portage. I
could upload ebuilds, but I just copied the older ebuilds, and with a new
version number they compile just fine. Would be nice to have in the tree,
though.

yeah.. any reason to update besides that it is available ? we really do know
about general updates, just have some patience please.

I was just trying to debug some code working with the Python bindings for them
(which I also updated to the newest version, BTW they don't seem to be
available in Portage at all) and they would only help me when I was running the
newest version.

python bindings ? I might be wrong, but doesn't libxml come with it's own
python wrapper ?

------- Comment #4 From Dirkjan Ochtman 2004-07-13 02:52:17 0000 ------- 
I think they might, but when I first tried to do import libxml2, libxslt from
Python it couldn't find them, so I just downloaded and installed the bindings
from http://www.xmlsoft.org/sources/python/

Are you building with USE="python"?

------- Comment #6 From Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2004-07-13 03:49:48 0000 ------- 
libxml2-2.6.11 is in

------- Comment #7 From Dirkjan Ochtman 2004-07-13 03:59:14 0000 ------- 
I wasn't building with USE="python", very stupid, thanks.

Very cool to see libxml2-2.6.11 is in already.

I was wondering if it would be useful to have a simple-updating herd with packages like that can do with pretty dumb maintainers (like myself), where a "real" dev only steps in when something goes awry with it.

------- Comment #8 From Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2004-07-13 04:25:21 0000 ------- 
Libxslt-1.1.8 is also in now.

Not sure about a simple updates thing, quite often small changes are needed, and we often tweak (stylistically) the ebuild in an update (as I have in both these cases).

Thanks for your contribution.
