2007-06-02 Thread Charles Plessy
Dear mentors, I am a bit confused by the libraries which exist in -xpm and -noxpm flavors. Are there cases where it is recommended not to use the -xpm one? Or should we build-depend on foo-xpm | foo-noxpm? Is it necessary to strictly depend on the -noxpm one if it seems that the program does not
