Another debian user i contacted for testing reported, more or less, the same crash, which sadly i cannot reproduce nor fix because on my laptop Ville's patch works perfectly. > Let's not do this and let's also start implementing the previous patch so > it makes Etch. We're really running out of time to experiment! After discussing with fjp it was decided to go with the original patch i wrote (the one attached to BR #400579, currently applied upstream): Guillem, could you please proceed with upload ? I really hope we'll be able to fix the bug in Ville's patch soon, as it's much more complete than mine: we may be even able to integrate ville's patch in a future DirectFB upload. Currently, infact, we're facing a bug [1] which Denis Oliver Knopp said should be fixable with a minor patch to DirectFB; patching DFB should be easier than adding, at this point of the release process, a new library (libgcc1) to the installer. In the case DOK provides the patch in time we may need to request you, Guillem, a further upload for DirectFB, provided that's still possible. cheers Attilio [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373253 _______________________________________________ directfb-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-dev
