I'm currently trying to hack up a wacom X driver package for my own use based on the patches that are in Fedora rawhide - Matthew Garrett et al seem to have done some great work on making the Wacom driver support HAL-based hotplugging and auto-detection gracefully (I haven't tried it out yet, but mjg59 is generally quite ninja so I have high hopes for the Fedora patches).
I see from #513052 that you're in the process of packaging 0.8.2.2. Can I help?
I have a USB tablet that I'd really like to be able to use again, and it'd be
great if I didn't have to put any runes in my xorg.conf to make that happen
(which seems to be what Red Hat have achieved).
One change that I'd really like to make if I get involved (and a new upstream
release seems a good time to make it) is to rearrange the tarball to resemble
the upstream tarball, with configure.in at the top level! I assume the
orig.tar.gz used to have more in it than just docs and linuxwacom? It occurs
to me that it'd probably be possible to make the orig.tar.gz by just repacking
the upstream tarball from bz2 to gzip and deleting the prebuilt/ directory,
then shipping doc/howto.html and doc/linuxwacom.html in the debian diff.
Regards,
Simon
