Description Nicolas Vigier 2011-06-27 23:56:30 CEST 
libxml version 1.8.17 is available in mageia. However nothing seems to be using this package, everything is using libxml2.

So I think we should drop libxml, and rename libxml2 source package to libxml.
Comment 1 Christiaan Welvaart 2011-06-28 00:30:28 CEST 
About libxml - nothing has a runtime dependency on it, but I don't know about buildrequires (the -devel package contains a static library).

About libxml2, check the website, http://www.xmlsoft.org/ - the software is called "libxml2", so renaming it is not an option IMO.

I could find:
$ urpmf --requires --media Core-SRPMS libxml-devel
ghostscript:libxml-devel
xemacs:libxml-devel

I've submitted rebuilds of both as neither of them really requires libxml-devel.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 7 Christiaan Welvaart 2013-01-22 00:43:56 CET 
(we're not going to remove packages from a stable mageia release because they are obsolete so this bug is not valid for mga2 :)


Please remove libxml from cauldron (see description + comments 1 and 2):

source rpm: 
libxml-1.8.17-20.mga3.src.rpm

binary rpms:
lib(64)xml1-1.8.17-20.mga3.*.rpm
lib(64)xml1-devel-1.8.17-20.mga3.*.rpm

debug rpms:
libxml-debuginfo-1.8.17-20.mga3.*.rpm

and move its svn dir to obsolete

Comment 8 Malo Deniélou 2013-03-21 19:46:02 CET 
I've moved the directory to obsolete, and added it to task-obsolete. Only removing the packages from the mirrors is needed.
