Bug 704202 – dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.10 version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ulenrich 2019-12-29 19:01:44 UTC]

You can find a new version source at
ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-2.9.10.tar.gz

But this is not proper announced at 
http://www.xmlsoft.org/news.html
The last version proper announced there is 2.9.7

As one can read in the current: 
file:////usr/share/doc/libxml2-2.9.9-r2/NEWS.bz2 
---
The change log at
ChangeLog.html
 describes the recents commits
to the GIT at
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2
----

Seemingly home has gone to Gnomes gitlab. There you have 
the proper announcement in:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/tags

I don't know if Gentoo should change this mentioned
Homepage:    http://www.xmlsoft.org/
to the gitlab.gnome.org tree of libxml2
???

The same homepage issue is with dev-libs/libxslt:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/-/tags

    dev-libs/libxml2: security bump to 2.0.10, with patches
    
    We bump here to 2.0.10, but include patches up to the upstream commit
    c0440868.
    
    The only modifications made between the git repo from upstream and
    creation of the patchset tarball were removal of any patches which could
    not apply because e.g. they touch files not in the release tarball, or
    were applicable just to fuzzing so not useful here, and git could not
    apply them anyway.
    
    Let's bump to EAPI 7 too, while we're here, to help out the cross
    compilers.
