The case directory contains this proposal. I have set the time out for this project for July 2nd, 2007. Please note that this case is being reviewed in the "open". This project does 2 things. First, it moves libexpat from /usr/sfw to /usr in accordance with the /usr/gnu case (2007/047). Secondly, it updates the version of libexpat from 1.95.7 to 2.0.0. libexpat 2.0.0 is binary compatible with 1.95.7. The project is requesting a Patch release binding.

The current version of libexpat in /usr/sfw is 1.95.7. Some applications/utilities in Solaris use their private or static version of libexpat: apache2 uses private 1.95.2 and Python uses 1.95.8, statically linked. Both cases have the danger of conflicting with code that uses the shared libexpat. In the case of Apache, this has been known since 2004, see CR 4840891, but it has not caused any known problems. In the case of Python, this is causing crashes in the GNOME desktop, see CR 6531456. Python cannot be made to use the shared libexpat without updating it, because it depends on APIs introduced in 1.95.8. The requested release binding is Patch. 2.0 Description libexpat is an XML parser library written in C.
