From memory, distros usually batch all of xorg into a few packages.
I very much doubt this will give any conventional distro a problem.
It's also just one package to configure and install.
Comparing the results of DESTDIR installs (ordered according to my
diff) this provides rather more than BLFS has recently used.
1. Apparent whitespace changes in:
glxproto.h
xf86driproto.h
2. Additions
pkgconfig files and the associated headers for
applewmproto
trapproto
windowswmproto
xf86miscproto
xproxymngproto
3. Changes
3.1 randrproto.h drops #define Atom CARD32
and the later #undef Atom
3.2 render.h
renderproto.h
both drop a CVS tag
3.3 font.h, fontproto.h now include Xfuncproto.h and change the
externs to add _X_EXPORT before the type.
3.4 XF86keysyms.h adds
XF86XK{_Keyboard,_WWAN,_RFKill,AudioPreset}
3.5 xfuncproto.h drops a comment that it was generated by
configure from the .in and now defines NARROWPROTO for linux
and the BSDs instead of unconditionally.
4. The .pc files are moved to $PREFIX/share/pkgconfig
5. Doc files are moved to $PREFIX/share/doc/xorgproto/
The installed size is also smaller (1.9MB instead of 4.3MB)
On first glance it looks good, I'll probably try it in my next
desktop build.
