Comment 1 Joe Orton 2011-03-30 07:24:41 UTC
sitecopy does use the system expat already.

Comment 2 Vincent Danen 2011-03-30 15:46:34 UTC
Ahh, ok, I see it.

./configure calls --with-neon, requiring neon-devel, which in turn requires expat-devel (looked like it was using the internal expat at first quick look due to no buildrequires/mention of expat in the spec).

So the embedded expat is there because there is an embedded neon, which explains why there is no requirements on libexpat in the rpm --requires.

Thanks!  Sorry for the noise.

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2011-03-30 15:49:18 UTC
FWIW, is it worth deleting the duplicate sources within the %prep?  (I do this within the python.spec to try to ensure that we can't possibly be using unpatched copies of code).

Comment 4 Joe Orton 2011-03-30 16:00:45 UTC
Good idea, Dave, thanks - done for Raw Hide.
