dev-libs/libxml2:2 && chromium discussion [slvd]

[cwc]

I thought I post this and open discussion in reference to dev-libs/libxml2:2
I wonder if Chromium update will come next.
I believe L10N is for Localization but I'm not sure yet.
Any thoughts or suggestions.

>=chromium-121.0.6167.85 instead needs >=libxml2-2.12.4 (chromium didn't do compatibility code, so you either need the old one or the new one depending on version), so you'll be made to update once that's stabilized likely soon in bug #922982

Can ignore the warning meanwhile, it's harmless.

Thank you!

Is L10N= Localization? and should I have this set in my make.conf?

Looks like libxml2 update forced by chromium update will interfere with virtualbox, which requires the older version of libxml2:

Is there any fix to be able to have chromium _and_ virtualbox installed and up to date?

[Ionen]

Suppose virtualbox could do the patch and have >= lower bound too at this point, not that I really looked at it for what's best.

I don't imagine this conflict will be long lived given updating browsers is important, so I wouldn't worry too much about it yet.

[tomtom69]

You were right and I was just too impatient.
virtualbox-7.0.12-r2 fixes this and everything works well. Thanks to the devs who take care about all of these things! :-D

[mlybarger]

i'm also seeing issues w/ libxml2. it's been around for a week or more and hasn't gone away. any tips on what i should do here?

According to the message, you cannot both upgrade libxml2 and keep that version of chromium installed. Remove chromium, upgrade to a chromium that supports a newer libxml2 (if one exists), or stay with the old libxml2 until the developers are able to adjust the dependencies[1].

[1]: This is not just a matter of changing the dependency data. The developers set the existing restriction for good reason, so until someone amends the Chromium code to invalidate that reason, the dependency needs to stay as-is.

[sam_]

The restriction for Chromium was added on Jan 27th, only 3 days. It will go when newer Chromium is stabled shortly.
