Happy for you to be maintainer, but I guess subscribing to the pts after the package is accepted should work just as well. Let me know. > That's one approach, or I could just add the directfb patch to the main > cairo package but that has it's own dangers and I'd prefer to remain > aligned with cairo upstream. I agree a separate package is the better option for now. Also, you'd still have to solve the problem how to configure the package for X for main debs and for DirectFB for the udeb. For D-I we preferably don't want both enabled because of deps and size. > The alternative is this, which looks more complete and was posted to > the Cairo list last month. It even mentions Debian: > http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2005-November/005625.html Yeah, we kind of started that off by choosing directfb for the installer :-) See this thread for the context: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2005-November/msg00057.html This is probably the way to go when this is officially released. That's why I'm confident we can do this as a shortterm solution and switch later. Cheers, FJP
