- Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but

markup languages, i.e. text language where semantic and structure are added to
the content using extra "markup" information enclosed between angle brackets.

with a prescribed different design. This commit is therefore
unauthorised.

textproc/libxml2*: update to 2.15.1, split -core
libxml2 now requires xsltproc from libxslt to build,
yet libxslt depends on libxml2,
so we need to break a dependency cycle.
documentation needed to be split out to a separate port.
libxml2 has therefore been split into two ports,
* libxml2 builds the documentation (unless disabled),
* library and executables in libxml2-core.
Pull in one contributor patch suggested by the former libxml2 maintainer
to address one downstream security issue in recent libxslt versions.
This should address arrowd@'s hint that installing libxml2 should
provide a full-featured package.
While here, deprecate libxml2-python according to upstream plans, we
have very few users in the ports tree, and expire end of 2026Q1.
