As I mentioned in private email to Aron, I don't think we can sync yet since there are still some consumers of the .la file (bug #1017486 — help welcomed in fixing the two remaining candidates).
A minimal merge which just keeps the .la file does seem possible though; here's the diff for sponsorship. The control part of the diff is something Debian implemented to build a udeb for Ubuntu. It's not a real Ubuntu change. ** Patch added: "libxml-2.8.0+dfsg1-4.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml2/+bug/987502/+attachment/3203794/+files/libxml-2.8.0%2Bdfsg1-4.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987502 Title: libxml2-dev: /usr/bin/xml2-config isn't identical across all arch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxml2/+bug/987502/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
