We still haven't enabled expat in base/, because it's not audited enough
yet... we `trust' it as an X11 library, but no-one has addressed the multiple
security issues it may have.
Yes, we do know expat is a problem... we finally removed it from ports/
because it makes no sense to build it once.

Really ?
I see it in extra's:
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R7.2/src/extras/
I also see perl in there. So should perl go into /usr/X11R6/bin ?

Because in the past there was an expat port.
Shouldn't expat not just go into /usr/lib ?

Thank you for your reponse.

it does, because it uses expat, and that's where expat comes from in
-current.
That explains the need for the 'depend' from the point of view of the apr-util

you'll need to install xbase. the libraries from xbase are needed
for quite a few things
Hello,
I am running -current and I'm a little confused about expat.
It was removed from the ports tree, with message "expat comes with OpenBSD as of
release 4.2". Indeed I see it is in /usr/src/lib/libexpat. However it is not in
/usr/src/lib/Makefile, so it isn't being built.
