libxml2

  • --with-history depends on libedit and netbsd-curses
  • Do not depend on icu; disabled by default
  • Multithreading support is on by default --with-threads
  • Some distributions enable legacy for ABI compatibility
  • In legacy mode support for http, lzma and zlib is enabled by default
  • The legacy configuration option won’t enable support for HTTP and LZMA anymore as these features were removed as of 2.15.0
  • SAX1 is deprecated
  • Test suite is optional and requires additional download xmlts on LFS?
  • Support for FTP and xpointer() XPath extensions has been deprecated
  • Should we leave xinclude enabled? or is it deprecated as well?
  • Check OpenBSD for bsdtar patches to xstc
  • Explicitly specifying --with-legacy or removing without-sax1 prevents libxkbcommon from breaking as of 1.8.0 as test/registry.c fails with xmlParseMemory errors when xkbregistry is enabled; libxkbcommon builds fine if xkbregistry is disabled
  • Do we need python support; python bindings will be removed as of 2.16.0
