Quoting Thibaut Girka (thib@sitedethib.com): > However, xinput-calibrator is written in C++, and I don't think it's > welcome in d-i? > Maybe this could be reconsidered, xinput-calibrator could rewritten in > C, or something else could be chosen... I thought deeper about this after we had this conversation with Thibaut at Paris MiniDebConf. When we had that discussion several years ago, the concern was about memory impact (the size of the c++ libraries in the initrd). However, these constraints are highly relaxed on machines that run g-i. So, finally, I wonder whether we could reconsider this, at the express condition that C++ is only used for stuff related to the graphical installer.. That could even someday revive some work about having a graphical partitioner (old old old debate). In short:assuming we restrict it to be available in g-i, we could work on having a c++ library udeb.
