Status
------

This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for Documentation, KDE Frameworks, kdelibs, Rohan Garg, Jonathan Riddell, Luc Menut, and Rex Dieter.


Bugs: 335001
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335001


Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

Use the more modern API function for XML loading and enable the flags which load the external entities, so that meinproc4 can work
again after the security changes implemented for CVE-2014-0191.
Without this change meinproc4 complains (see the referenced bug)

The fix (half of the patch, the other half is on code which was removed) applies to KF5 too, hence the group.

My tests shows that the documentation cache is properly generated as before, and the patch should work even on the old 

Packagers (Ubuntu packagers in CC, as Ubuntu is one of the few distributions where libxml2 has been already patched) could you please test it with a fixed libxml and without, and if possible with KF5 as well?
