libxml2 2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-0.4 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

libxml2 (2.12.7+dfsg+really2.9.14-0.4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.

  * Don't build with ICU. Closes: #1092484.

    libxml's README.md states:

    [ICU](https://icu.unicode.org/), a Unicode library. Mainly
    useful as an alternative to iconv on Windows. Unnecessary
    on most other systems.

    ICU 76.1 requires to be built with -std=c++17 or -std=gnu++17 or
    higher.  However including the ICU headers in the libxml2 headers,
    breaks builds with older C++ standards, most likely leading to
    some unrelated build failures for packages that don't rely on ICU,
    but are using libxml2.

libxml2: GNOME XML library

 XML is a metalanguage to let you design your own markup language.
 A regular markup language defines a way to describe information in
 a certain class of documents (eg HTML). XML lets you define your
 own customized markup languages for many classes of document. It
 can do this because it's written in SGML, the international standard
 metalanguage for markup languages.
 .
 This package provides a library providing an extensive API to handle
 such XML data files.
