2.11.9_2 23 May 2025 22:23:25	Don Lewis (truckman)	textproc/py-pylibxml2: rm patch that scans garbage Remove a local patch that scans stack garbage for a pattern and then uses the pointer after the array has been filled with actual data. This can cause random segfaults. The patch is under textproc/libxml2, but the patched file is only used by textproc/py-pylibxml2. The UTF-8 issue this was intended to fix was fixed upstream in a more comprehensive way in 2.11.0 with this commit: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/76c6da420923f2721a2e16adfcef8707a2454a1b PR: 286439 279034 Approved by: desktop (makc) Tested by: vvd MFH: 2025Q2 (cherry picked from commit d5b2d60fc76964a3e5b8f50d2992bd751f688f04)
