I'd suggest having textproc/expat2 for 1.95 repocopied from textproc/expat, which should soon be updated to 1.2. <quote from="http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html">; Development of expat 2.0 is being handled by a team led by Clark Cooper, hosted by sourceforge.net. See http://expat.sourceforge.net for the latest on expat 2.0. </quote> > If you like you can upgrade the expat port.
