Re: Splitting up lib{xslt,xml2} packages


I'm on vacation, checking mail through a cell phone, so please forgive the
level of investigation --

If you are going to rebuild libxslt and libxml2, I have a few wishes.

As far as I remember, threading support was enabled, while it does not
actually work; try running 'make check'.

xmlcatalog has a very useful interactive mode. It would be even more useful
if readline was enabled.

My request: please add '--with-history --without-threads' when configuring
libxml2.

kind regards
Peter Ring
