From: http://sources.buildroot.net/DirectFB-1.7.7.tar.gz

I don't expect a new release of DirectFB, it's a dead project IMO.
However, if the sources there are similar to the 1.7.7 tarball we're
using today, we could use this github repository as our upstream for
the directfb package.

Best regards,
