Package: libxml2-dev Version: 2.8.0+dfsg1-1 Severity: normal Hello,
while previously "xml2-config --libs" just said "-lxml2" starting with 2.8.0 the output looks like this: -lxml2 -lz -lm This is caused by dropping libxml2-2.7.8.dfsg/debian/patches/01_historical_changes.patch, which included this change: --------------------------------- --- a/configure.in +++ b/configure.in @@ -1319,7 +1322,7 @@ *) M_LIBS="-lm" ;; esac -XML_LIBS="-lxml2 $Z_LIBS $THREAD_LIBS $ICONV_LIBS $M_LIBS $LIBS" +XML_LIBS="-lxml2" XML_LIBTOOLLIBS="libxml2.la" AC_SUBST(WITH_ICONV) --------------------------------- xml2-config also has lost its --static option. As debian/changelog does not say anything about this being done intentionally I am assuming it happened by an oversight. If both of these changes were done intentionally please document them in debian/changelog. thanks, cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
