I still think we should reconsider bundling libxml2 and solve this issue.
XML is a center piece of PHP 5 and will be more and more used by extensions
as well as developers. I think the benefit far outweighs the downside of
bundling.
I know some disagree because of size but I don't see this as an issue. I
think giving PHP users a better experience is very beneficial.
Andi beat me to it, but I very much think in the same way. If we kept a
.tar.gz in CVS of the 'blessed' libxml2 version, that would become a part of
the release tarball during makedist, it would have solved this dependency
issue once and for all, and ensure that a given version of PHP behaves in the
same way (at least as far XML is concerned) everywhere.
Can you explain this a bit more? Like what kind of 'part' will it
become?
Is it just copied there in some directory? How is it configured for compile?
etc.
