xf86-input-libinput 1.2.1 is now available. Primarily a few typos and misc
minor fixes, the most visible change to distributions is that we now ship an
xz tarball instead of bz2. Due to a global shortage of flying cars, you will
have to accept that as your "welcome to the future" present. If you don't like
the future (and who can blame you!), we still have gz tarballs, simply
because I didn't realize we still generated those until I typed out this
email.
While I've been applying this change across the Xorg modules, I've followed
the lead of those who came before me, and just replaced "dist-bz2" with
"dist-xz". To get rid of the gzip files we'd also have to add "no-dist-gzip"
to our AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() options.
I think I'm done applying this change to our repos now.
Of the 255 non-archived repos under the /xorg/ namespace on gitlab that
have configure.ac files:
- 245 have just "dist-xz" (i.e. generate both .gz & .xz files)
- 6 have just "dist-bzip2"
- 2 have "dist-xz no-dist-gzip"
- 1 has "dist-bzip2 dist-xz"
- 1 has AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() with no arguments
The outliers are:
app/fdclock/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- appears abandoned, no commits since 2007
app/quartz-wm/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2 dist-xz])
- this is the way Jeremy set it up, so I left it
app/xresponse/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()
- appears abandoned, no commits since 2007
driver/xf86-video-armsoc/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- appears abandoned, no commits since 2016
driver/xf86-video-freedreno/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- appears abandoned, no commits since 2017
driver/xf86-video-intel/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- I don't know if this is still maintained or not
driver/xf86-video-opentegra/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([no-dist-gzip
dist-xz])
- this is the way the authors set it up years ago, so I left it
driver/xf86-video-vmware/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- I submitted merge request !3 to change this to dist-xz
lib/libXrandrUtils/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])
- appears abandoned, no commits since 2012
test/xorg-gtest/configure.ac:AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-xz no-dist-gzip])
- whot had dropped the gzip tarballs in 2012, so I left that part alone
