Should I send this as a patch? Yes, and yes. The only point of the staging area is to be a pool for packages that don't build anymore and for which nobody seems to care.

[ptxdist] fbv package removed
Hi all, I just noticed that the fbv package has been removed after one year in staging. I am using this on several BSPs and didn't realize it had been moved to staging. The reasons for removal are: "Old and obsolete, upstream gone. Fails to build with current libpng." However, the libpng problem had already been addressed in this patch: https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/ptxdist/commit?id=4a0738ec264fcbf809863dd245aff012bee274e6 Also, upstream is alive: http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/fbv/ Given the above, can we revert this and move this out of staging again? Should I send this as a patch? Thanks, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodrig...@gmail.com ___ ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de
