Just a heads up, #499662 has been fixed. This means that the cairo DirectFB support in Debian and therefore Emdebian has been modified to remove the need for the /usr/lib/libcairo-directfb/lib hack. This greatly simplifies the Gtk build, it means that the Udeb should now be buildable and it means that dpkg-cross can correctly ignore any subdirectory of /usr/lib/. (The hack in dpkg-cross will be removed.) >From the bug: "A saner solution is probably to enable DirectFB support in the regular cairo build, and to ship the DirectFB-only version only in the udeb." After a little discussion with D-I, this change will get into Lenny so we won't have any "important" or "useful" files in sub-directories of /usr/lib/ anymore, except pkg-config stuff. All those files can remain private modules, plugins etc. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
