| Description: | Debian will stop packaging xml2-config in the Bookworm development cycle. Once this occurs, Ubuntu and other derivatives will follow, as they track Debian packages.
Asterisk currently fails to build from source without xml2-config, so we need to detect libxml2 via pkg-config, falling back to xml2-config for systems without pkg-config. | ||||

Any thoughts on this? Kind regards, Seb | ||||
