Comment 6 Göran Uddeborg 2011-03-25 20:00:30 UTC
The description in comment 0 says, "this issue affects multiple supported versions of Fedora.  Only one tracking bug has been filed; please only close it when all affected versions are fixed."  But unless I'm mistaken, it is only fixed in F14, not in F13 nor the upcoming F15.

Comment 7 Daniel Veillard 2011-03-26 13:43:43 UTC
I did the build for all Fedora, it's not my fault if nobody dares to review the
security fix and allows it to be pushed,

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc13

For the upcoming fc15

paphio:~/fcpkgs/libxml2 -> fedpkg build
Could not initiate build: libxml2-2.7.8-6.fc15 has already been built
paphio:~/fcpkgs/libxml2 -> grep -C 4 2.7.8-6 libxml2.spec 
%doc doc/*.py
%doc doc/python.html

  It was build, I don't find it anymore ... not really my fault
I did my part of the job ! Now if someone can give carma to the
packages waiting for them for 3 weeks, go ahead !

Comment 8 Göran Uddeborg 2011-03-26 20:28:29 UTC
It was the F15 package I was interested in.  I see it in now Koji, but not in bodhi, nor in updates/testing/15 on the mirrors.

I guess I can download the packages from koji, install and test them.  But I don't know how to give karma when I can't find it in bodhi.

Comment 9 Fedora Update System 2011-03-28 02:51:07 UTC
libxml2-2.7.8-6.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15.

Comment 10 Daniel Veillard 2011-03-28 02:53:25 UTC
Apparently I had to (re ?) create it ... 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libxml2-2.7.8-6.fc15

I think I built it thinking it was still rawhide but the f15 branch has already been done, or something like this,

Daniel

> Apparently I had to (re ?) create it ... 

And this time it worked.  I've upgraded, and it works just fine! :-)

libxml2-2.7.8-6.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
