Re: [Cooker] Rebuilding probelms with current XFree86 package

[Stefan van der Eijk]

I tried to rebuild current XFree86-4.2.99.5-0.20030122.2mdk on a plain 9.0 to have DRI support for a recent radeon. However, i'm facing several problems:
- it doesn't build out of the box due to a problem with freetype 2.0. Upgrading to freetype 2.1 fix it, but obviously the buildrequires should specify >= 2.1

as you know the BuildRequires are often way off.

- once freetype updated, with_new_fontconfig-Xft defined to 0 leads to build and install xftache. However, build fails silently for it, and rpm barfs about missing file
- forcing with_new_fontconfig-Xft to 1 and installing latest libfontconfig lead to a compilation problem when compiling xftcolor

Why not just upgrade to cooker? As mdk's policy seems to be "what's behind me, is not important" (from the Gumball Rally http://us.imdb.com/Details?0074597).
