==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `libxml2` to 2.7.8, adding patches to fix shared library versioning (similar to the one in Rawhide) and another to support building the `python` bindings with `python` versions older than 2.4, which don't have the `sorted()` function:
  * Various bug fixes, including potential crashes
  * New non-destructive formatting option
  * Date parsing updated to RFC 5646
