touse the<a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml2">Gnomebugtracking

there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bugis stillopen. Be

sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxml2.</p><p>For small problems you can try to get help on IRC, the #xml

channelonirc.gnome.org (port 6667) usually have a few person subscribed which

mayhelp(but there is no garantee and if a real issue is raised it should go

onthemailing-list for archival).</p><p>There is also a mailing-list <a href="mailto:xml@gnome.org">xml@gnome.org</a>for libxml, with an <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/">on-line archive</a>(<a href="http://xmlsoft.org/messages">old</a>). To subscribe to this
