Together with the hint from Attilio, I have created a brand new (temporary) package libcairo-directfb that only creates a udeb for libcairo compiled against directfb. I have tested it in the installer and I've seen no problems either building or running it. This new package is available from: http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/libcairo-directfb/ The package is based on Dave's libcairo package and has the same upstream source tarball. My reasons for creating a new package were: - the patch from directfb needed to be applied - after that the configure script needed to be regenerated - the udeb needs different configuration options - cdbs currently has very limited support for building (u)debs with different configs The udeb Provides: libcairo2 to satisfy the dependency from libpango1.0-udeb. There is ongoing work upstream to integrate directfb support in cairo. I also understand from Jeff that he has plans that will make it easier in cdbs to support building a package with different config options. When this is done, we should be hopefully able to make the switch to a udeb from the main libcairo package. I'd appreciate it if people could look over the new package and give me some feedback before I upload it. Dave, do you see any objections or alternatives to this approach? Cheers and thanks for all the help, Frans Configuration summary for the udeb ================================== cairo will be compiled with the following surface backends: Xlib: no Quartz: no XCB: no Win32: no PostScript: no PDF: no glitz: no DirectFB: yes the following font backends: FreeType: yes Win32: no ATSUI: no and the following features: PNG functions: yes
