There are a lot of changes, but the majority of them being addition of ED, EROOT or EPREFIX to calling arguments. The most important bits left are: - EAPI=3 - addition of KEYWORDS - 2 Gentoo Prefix specific patches + eprefixify call - conditional call of python_execute_function to break bootstrapping Will attach the diff due to its size.

These changes looks mostly fine, but what about simply not building xmllint instead of removing it at pkg_preinst ?
that's only for winnt, but I guess if you can tell it not to build it, that's the more desirable approach as it takes less time.
I see a way to disable building xmlcatalog with configure, but not xmllint. Is there a way without messing with makefiles?
scratch that, catalog is not the same as xmlcatalog.
Could you please update the patch for 2.7.8? Thanks a lot
Created attachment 262221 [details, diff] libxml2-2.7.8-prefix.patch Here it is. Note that it fixes a flaw in the gx86 ebuild that does an EROOT == / comparison.
