For me, having your git tree was enough.
Generally, it looks very good and I think it can be merged as is. I
appreciate the removal of all obsolete packages.
I have a few questions though :
*) On many packages, but not all, you added FOOBAR_LIBTOOL_PATCH=NO.
What has driven your choice of applying or not applying the libtool
patch ?
*) I imagine that all the patches you are dropping for the different
packages have been merged upstream and are no longer needed ?
*) I think the xf86-video-wsfb could just be removed. But this can be
done later, if you don't want to rebase all your patch set.
*) Concerning the dependency of xcb-util on gperf on the host, we have
to decide whether gperf is a mandatory tool for Buildroot (in which
case it should be added to toolchain/dependencies/dependencies.sh)
or if we should build it, in which case, we need to add a
host-gperf dependency.
*) The xfont_font-util package should be fixed, as we discussed
recently on the list. This post-install.sh script assuming that
some tools are installed on the host is ugly. We must determine
whether xfont_font-util should be built for the host, for the
target or for both. But this can be done after merging your patch
set, of course.
Thanks a lot for all this work!
