Request to upgrade main/libxml2 to version 2.12.6 in 3.19
Package Information
- Package name: main/libxml2
- New version: 2.12.6 (as present in
edge
) - Release notes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.12.6
Summary
While preparing an upgrade from Alpine Linux 3.17 to 3.19 for some of our containers we noticed a regression in xmllint (which is part of libxml2-utils).
The version shipped in 3.19 doesn't return != 0
anymore in case the result of an XPath query is
empty. This started with this
commit
that made it into 2.11.0.
After some discussion in upstream issues 673 and 690, the previous behaviour was restored in release 2.12.6.
It'd be great if the libxml2(-utils) version in 3.19 could either be bumped to the latest release or pull in the fix as a patch.
