DirectFB engine is not maintained anymore and it will be removed soon, when Evas is merged into a single source package with other EFL, or at least when we start to rework Evas internals. Sorry, it happens because it's painful to keep these things around when nobody steps up as maintainer... and DFB has a huge history of it. It was created and then when it was almost to be removed I needed it for a project, then I revamped most of its code... but no need to maintain it for me anymore, nobody else stepped as maintainer and it's likely going away. The good thing is that most of newer hardware is OpenGL2.0 compliant, and with Wayland evolution one day we may expect embedded to settle on this combination :-) -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
