Keith, I just noticed that you moved the xproto.pc file from x11proto to the top-level. I think this is a bad idea unless you change all the libraries to not check for xproto (which they do now). This will cause people that don't know better to rebuild Xlib and snowball out to all their packages when the xproto version gets bumped (which will be often in a merged scenario). Let's just avoid this by making the top level called xorg-proto.pc or something and keep xproto.pc tied to just the bare X headers. Since no packages are using the merged proto package, now is the right time to make a new name instead of overloading a widely used name. Since the server is the only place that cares about the merged headers, it makes sense to change to the new name there and allow all the other packages to carry on as if nothing ever happened. -- Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
