[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#344298: libexpat1-dev: expat.h contains enum definition with trailing comma

[Zak Kipling]

Package: libexpat1-dev
Version: 1.95.8-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The XML_Error enum in expat.h contains a trailing comma, which confuses
some C++ compilers (including gcc 3.4.4 with the -pedantic option) as it
violates the syntax given in the C++ standard (section 7.2).

There is already a patch in CVS for this upstream from September 2004,
but they haven't produced any further releases since then.

Could this be patched until a new release is available? The patch in
question is:
