Bug 64494 – xml2-0.3.ebuild (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description James Rowe 2004-09-18 03:09:04 UTC]

Converts XML to and from a line-oriented file format which makes it easier to process XML from the command line using standard the UNIX toolchain.

  I would suggest app-text/ for this personally.

  I've attached a patch to allow compilation with libxml2 if it is set in the use flags(else it uses libxml1), because personally I have no use for libxml1 and I don't want it installed just for this.  I would appreciate comments on whether this is the correct way to go about things though.

libxml2 support patch

Adds support for compiling with libxml2 instead of the upstream default of
libxml1, it isn't the cleanest way of solving the problem but importantly it
works!

Sorry for the delay. I think it's a good idea to
use xml2 USE flag to switch xml/xml2 dependency.
(I personally don't want to install xml1 too)
Both with and without xml2 USE flag tested and worked,
and I added it to CVS. Thanks for the contribution.
