Description Brian Moon 2009-05-15 18:31:43 UTC

PHP xml features such as XMLWriter do not produce output when compiled against libxml2-2.7.3.  According to the PHP bug about this issue, PHP 5.2.9 and libxml2-2.7.3 are supposed to fix this problem.  Previously, Gentoo maintainers had backed out a security patch from libxml2-2.7.2 to solve this problem.  However, the problem has returned in 2.7.3 despite the PHP team saying it should not occur with these versions.

Mark as invalid.  There was an internal problem in our proxy server that caused our problems.  Sorry for crying wolf.
