openSUSE Recommended Update: expat: fixed visibility of XML exports ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2013:1156-1 Rating: moderate References: #798644 Affected Products: openSUSE 12.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: expat was fixed in regards to XML symbol visibility to fix crashes in font-config. - according to upstream changelog: - Improved ability to build without the configure-generated expat_config.h header. This is useful for applications which embed Expat rather than linking in the library. because I am not exactly sure about implication of this, rather use -DXML_HAVE_VISIBILITY in CFLAG_VISIBILITY in expat-visibility.patch Patch Instructions: To install this openSUSE Recommended Update use YaST online_update.
