Bug#613347: compatibility symlinks for libbsdxml
Package: libexpat1-dev
Version: 2.0.1-7
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
This library has the same API as the libbsdxml library that is used
on FreeBSD. Obviously, when porting software from FreeBSD that
depends on libbsdxml, we adjust it to use Debian libexpat instead.
It would be easier though if libexpat provided compatibility symlinks
or another mechanism such that "#include <bsdxml.h>" works, and so
does "-lbsdxml" in linker flags.
Thanks for considering
