+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Make xmlError structs constant
+
+In libxml2 commits v2.12.0~14 and v2.12.0~77 the API changed so
+that:
+
+1) xmlGetLastError() returns pointer to a constant xmlError
+   struct, and
+
+2) xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc() changed the signature of callback
+   (validate_structured_error_nop()), it too is passed pointer to
+   a constant xmlError struct.
+
+But of course, older libxml2 expects different callback
+signature. Therefore, we need to typecast it anyway.
+
+Also, drop obviously incorrect @error annotation in
+validate_structured_error_nop; the variable is used.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] osinfo-db-validate: Add more libxml/ includes
+
+In its 2.12.0 release, libxml reworked their header files (some
+might even call it cleaning up, I call it API incompatible
+change) and now  we don't get all declarations we need by just
+including one file. Add missing includes.
