Hi
at https://debian.polito.it/downloads/d-i_dfb.tgz
you can find a GTKDFB 2.8.3 set of libs compiled for i386, they include
DirectFB 0.9.25
GTKDFB 2.8.3
pango 1.10
cairo 1.0.2
slim
everything else (glib,atk,freetype) comes from standard udebs.
i use this to test the frontend with GTKDFB 2.8.3 instead of 2.0.9.
As you can see many annoying bug that used to show up in GTKDFB 2.0.9
(like broken GtkTreeView scrolling) no longer show up.
just put the .tgz file togheter with .tgz font files and build the
gtk-miniiso.
GTKDFB 2.8.3 seems to wors as fine as 2.0.9 (also better), maybe could
we start thinking of experimental gtkdfb 2.8.3 (and related libs) udebs?
Indeed that would be great, i would be willing to do daily builds using those
as opposed to whatever is in unstable right now.
I wonder if this fixes the bigendian cursor and logo errors ?
I don't know since i only have i386 machines to compile GTKDFB 2.8.3 on
(my RS6000 PPC is too slow for compiling such a big set of libs like
gtkdfb etc.).
I've also put the mini.iso here
https://debian.polito.it/downloads/gtk_dfb_2.8.3_2005-10-21.tgz
it seems to run smooth (apart from some badly drawn widgets), could
someone give it a try so that if we find bugs we can tell mike emmel?
I also have to admit yhat thinking about newer udebs is a bit premature:
many libs like GDKDFB and CAIRODFB have still to be moved to GTK and
CAIRO mainlines and some libs like slim don't even have a maintainer.
I also have talked a lot these days with Mike Emmel: basically he said
he will mantain CAIRODFB and will take care of merging it into CAIRO
mainline.
He also said he's busy these days so he needs help in developing
mantaining GDKDFB (a couple of other developers is needed) and so cannot
take care of merging it into GTK mainline.
He suggested that we, the debian-installer team, should take care of
asking [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the merge and raise help from those
developers who once worked at the (now abandoned) GTK-FB project.
This is a quite wide plan but, since we need GTKDFB to be fixed and
standardized for the raphical d-i, we need to put efforts in this.
I could ask preliminary at gtk-devel if someone is interested in helping
Mike in developing and maintaining GTKDFB and merging it into the GTK
mainline, even before the graphical d-i project is announced to the world.
ciao
Attilio
