[Mageia-dev] Copying cairo to cairo-xcb

Sat Mar 19 18:08:36 CET 2011

Hi there,
+
+Sorry for opening the thread just now. I’ve copied cairo to cairo-xcb,
+because I need to compile it with the xcb backend. Since I do not want
+to force everyone to have it like this, and since this backend is
+considered experimental, I thought it was the best solution.
+
+I asked dmorgan and ahmad to review it and there is only one thing that
+was not ok for them, I made cairo-xcb provide cairo. I cannot do without
+or else I’m forced to remove nearly everything, due to pango requiring
+it directly.
+
+Though, I think cairo should remain the default choice, and I
+specifically added a warning message in a README.urpmi to discourage
+cairo-xcb use where it is not needed.
+
+So, the problem is that we should avoid cairo-xcb being prefered during
+dependency resolving.
+
+Can I add lib{,64}cairo2 to /etc/urpmi/prefer.vendor.list ?
+
+Do you know a better fix ? (I haven’t submitted cairo-xcb yet, wanted to
+solve this issue first)
+
+Thanks in advance,
+
+Best regards,
+--
