            Bug ID: 264813
           Summary: textproc/libxml++50: New port: C++ wrapper for the
                    libxml2  XML parser library
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jailbird@fdf.net

SpiderMonkey JS support in newer versions of www/elinks requires the libxml++
5.0 API. The 2.6 API from the existing textproc/libxml++26 port isn't
supported.

For whatever reason, the upstream tarball doesn't come with configure
pregenerated. Using autoreconf on this package requires mm-common for some m4
macros. So unlike the older 2.6 port, I went with meson on this on.

Meson, unfortunately, requires Python 3, but I figured the number of machines
that have python 3 installed is probably many orders of magnitude higher than
the number of machines that have mm-common installed.
