In liblicense, we include a third-party package called xdgmime verbatim. I remember discussing this briefly with Jason or Scott over the summer, and what I remember is Jason insisting we keep xdgmime in the source tree.
That seemed like an odd decision, but now I understand it better. (That's a gentle way to say, "I remember balking at the idea of including this thing verbatim before, but now I understand and apologize if I said anything unreasonable then.") As far as I can tell, the xdgmime software is canonically located at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/mime/xdgmime/ and is not released or packaged. This is explained at http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/mime/xdgmime/README?revision=1.2&view=markup . So I guess we'll keep including it verbatim, and every release we'll just check upstream for updates. Us using svn, and them using svn, it'll be a fight to incorporate our changes with any updates they make; this release, I've just decided that we don't need the small updates they've made. For reference, here's how to check it out of freedesktop.org CVS: $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/mime login CVS password: <hit return> $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/mime co xdgmime Their code gives warnings with -std=c89, but I doubt they have any interest in changing it. -- Asheesh. -- We're happy little Vegemites, As bright as bright can be. We all all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch and tea. _______________________________________________ cc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-devel
