libxml2 update

[bmarkus]

libxml2 just recently updated to 2.8.0 Is there any specific reason not to update 2.9.0 current upstream?

BTW, libxslt.tcz would deserve an update too.

I used arch linux's pkgbuild as a guide, and they are still on 2.8.0, I had assumed they were using the latest as they usually do.   I will update to 2.9.0

Updated to 2.9.0.

Just did an update that included libxml2, as well as poppler, openjpeg, libcups, and glib2. Now the epdfview app isn't working. Unfortunately I was messing around with some other things so I'm not a 100% sure I didn't break something that way. My other extensions seem to work OK.

Hi thane
I think this may be related:

This may be a red herring, but FWIW when I type epdfview in a terminal I get a message

epdfview: error while loading shared libraries: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

edit: after I manually added liblzma.so.5 to usr/lib epdfview started to work

[Jason W]

lzma is not dealing with libxml2, but will try to see what is going on.

epdfview.tcz is working here.

Ok, it seems xz.tcz is a dependency now of libxml2.  Dependency creep.

xz.tcz doesn't depend on libxml2. It has no any dependencies only base.

I think we're speaking of the reverse - that libxml2 now depends on xz

[Jason W]

Like juanito stated, libxml2 depends now on xz.  Dep file has been adjusted.

As with Arch, Debian sid has liblzma as a hard coded dependency of libxml2.  Though many apps will work with libzml2 without lzma support, I imagine that in the near future liblzma will be considered a required dependency.  So probably best to consider it a needed dep for going forward.

I will make the splitup in the Raspbian repo and rebuild libxml2 and few other extensions there and if it's k, will redo in x86
