- remove-contrib-xml2.patch (text/x-patch) patch
There has been some more discussion lately of problems caused by contrib/xml2. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2010-01/msg00251.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2010-01/msg00198.php I think we need to either (1) fix the bugs and update the documentation to remove the statement that this will be removed or (2) actually remove it. Nobody seems interested in #1, so PFA a patch to do #2. It also rips out all the libxslt stuff, which seems to exist only for the purpose of supporting contrib/xml2. Per discussion on IM with Magnus, it appears that libxslt is actually not needed to build the backend on Windows, despite a comment in the Windows build stuff to the contrary. Thoughts? ...Robert
