[Buildroot] directfb: sources question

[Martin Kepplinger]

Since I looked for the directfb sources and failed to download it
manually using directfb.mk: How would I download directfb 1.7.7? And are
you sure https://github.com/deniskropp/DirectFB.git isn't the the place
of the main sources where a possible release would happen?

thanks

                          martin

From: http://sources.buildroot.net/DirectFB-1.7.7.tar.gz

I don't expect a new release of DirectFB, it's a dead project IMO.
However, if the sources there are similar to the 1.7.7 tarball we're
using today, we could use this github repository as our upstream for
the directfb package.

Best regards,

Thomas
