[Buildroot] X11R7.5 git branch

[Paulius Zaleckas]

Hi,

As we have discussed earlier I have put all my X11R7.5 work in:

git://gitorious.org/takeme-buildroot/takeme-buildroot.git x11r75

Should I post patch series to the list?
I am waiting for your comments on my work!

BR,
Paulius Zaleckas

Paulius, have started look at what you have done. Good work, 
depressingly similar to all the work I have done, but oh well.

One thing I have noticed is that you have quite a few changes in there 
that are not related to x11, any chance of splitting those out as 
separate patches as don't want them to complicate review.

Peter - what do you suggest should be the process for getting this in, 
most of it looks good but there are a few places where I think things 
can be improved. Should Paulius and I try to get a master repository 
that we both sign off on?

Fonts are the most boring part ;)

Which changes are not related?
I have pushed two branches there. Master contains all my patches, while
x11r75 branch has only X11 related changes. However there is some changes like
XCB, but its newer version is required by X11R7.5.
The other problem with my change series is that it will break git bisect...

Double sign off sounds good. Don't hesitate and lets discuss all places
we can improve!

For me, having your git tree was enough.

Generally, it looks very good and I think it can be merged as is. I
appreciate the removal of all obsolete packages.

I have a few questions though :

 *) On many packages, but not all, you added FOOBAR_LIBTOOL_PATCH=NO.
    What has driven your choice of applying or not applying the libtool
    patch ?

 *) I imagine that all the patches you are dropping for the different
    packages have been merged upstream and are no longer needed ?

 *) I think the xf86-video-wsfb could just be removed. But this can be
    done later, if you don't want to rebase all your patch set.

 *) Concerning the dependency of xcb-util on gperf on the host, we have
    to decide whether gperf is a mandatory tool for Buildroot (in which
    case it should be added to toolchain/dependencies/dependencies.sh)
    or if we should build it, in which case, we need to add a
    host-gperf dependency.

 *) The xfont_font-util package should be fixed, as we discussed
    recently on the list. This post-install.sh script assuming that
    some tools are installed on the host is ugly. We must determine
    whether xfont_font-util should be built for the host, for the
    target or for both. But this can be done after merging your patch
    set, of course.

Thanks a lot for all this work!

This is the same problem I saw and posted about here 
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-February/032446.html. 
It looks like the package has a newer version of ltmain.sh (2.2.6). Not 
sure if it no longer needs the patch of if that version needs a 
different version of the patch. I found most xorg packages needed the 
change.

I think there are a lot of drivers that could be dropped, most of the 
video drivers are for hardware that has not been made for years so could 
be removed or marked deprecated.

I might be browsing gitorious wrong but it appears you have patches for 
devtmpfs, gdb and the autotools infrastructure in there.

As far as other changes I made a few more changes to xserver and a few 
other packages but it is perhaps easiest for me to submit patches once 
yours have hit the tree if people are prepared to do things like that.

It is likely a gitorious browsing problem, because I cloned the
git tree, and the x11r75 branch pointed by Paulius really only
contained changes to package/x11r7/.

See  William reply about this. I believe libtool patch is not needed
here any more.

Yes.

I can remove it if you wish. Rebasing is not a problem for me.

I have no opinion on this. So I can fix it as you like :)

I think we should deal with this later...

You are definitely looking at the wrong branch.
