[Buildroot] Adding X11R7 to buildroot

[Julien Letessier]

Hi folks,

As some of you known I've been working on X11R7.1 packages for
buildroot. These packages may replace xorg and tinyx.
Patches have ben sumbitted in previous emails.

I'm now starting to wonder
* if the buildroot community is interested in including these >250
packages in buildroot;
* how to include them (dropping hundreds of directories in package/ looks ugly);
* who's willing to help testing.

Note that since all X packages use the GNU build system and are
well-maintained and portable, they shouldn't require much maintenance
here.

What's your opinion?

Why not create "packages/X11R7" and then put all X11 package directories
below that directory?

I would be very interested in having X11R7 support in buildroot.

This seems a good idea to me.

You count on me to help testing the packages on ARM. Right now I'm on 
another project, but next week I'll be back to our ARM system.

Kind regards,

tinyx would definitely be useful to me!

I can let you know how I get on with tinyx on x86 at
least!

My attempt was based on: 

x11-xserver
x11-libs
x11-drivers

and mainly .mk files inside those but directories might be a better
idea.

A friend has a flat in Vence. The report says it's really good weather
there which is a good thing, here it's been really bad for weeks so I'm
really looking forward to this.
