This comes down to a policy decision I guess and I'm not sure there is a clear cut answer. The question is whether it makes sense to have directfb and X based gtk in the same builds and package feeds or not. I can see that it might be desired and that it likely is possible. My personal take on that is that it depends how ugly the result is and what demand there is for it. I do consider having the separate -directfb recipes to be ugly and if we only need a cairo variant that might be ok, if we need a ton of recipe forks I'd be much less keen. Doing separate recipes like that is error prone and often not done well. So can anyone tell me for sure exactly how many recipes would need -directfb variants? Cheers, Richard
