Looks good to me.
Thanks for the feedback.
Btw., did you create the 64 bit expat packages or did Warren? The
history isn't visible, unfortunately. I'd like to see a solution for
the libexpat-devel vs/ libexpat1-devel problem.
I built 2.1.0-1 during the bootstrap stage; 2.1.0-2 must be Warren's.
But libexpat1-devel is a BAD choice of name, as it would collide with a
future -devel corresponding to libexpat2 should the ABI change again. I
wish we had some policies in this regard, but IMO the proper fix is
revert this to libexpat-devel.
