Why not use depth 16?

AFAIK depth 16 is a 2 bytes not much difference from 15 (almost 2 bytes)
what makes it worth over depth 16?

building xfree 4.0.2-1. (report)

2001-01-17 Thread Carlos Barros
Hello

The problems that I had.

debhelper must be less than 2.2.12. 
dh_suidregister is no longer valid.

You need to download from unstable freetype-2.0.1, glide2000.11.02.07,
debhelper-2.2.11. ( in http://packages.debian.org/$package )
Build those packages.
After that, install them.
And finally build xfree.

Now I'm going to install them over 4.0.1-8.

dpkg-buildpackage time:

Ok. Is there any hint(doc) about how to use make -j on building X?
And how to make it pentium optimized?
I change debian/rules but didn't work. :(

My experiences making .debs of 4.0.1 for potato

2000-11-02 Thread Carlos Barros
Hello!

I have downloaded the source that Branden release as phase2-v29 and
then try to make the packages.

1- try to simple debuild, and failed in compiling
2- read the docs and findout build-depends ;-)
3- installed almost everything, couldn't find dpkg 1.7 nor glide3-dev.
4- debuild again... failed agin... but redirect the output to a file.
5- discover that  was required for some tdfx*. 
6- I disabled in the xc/config/cf/host.def the HasGlide3 and debuild again.
7- compiled ok, but no .deb created.
8- in rules I saw in install the checking for 
   MANIFEST.i386 <> MANIFEST.i386.new. The problem was the missing *tdfx*
9- deleted that line, dbuild again but some .deb failed. It stop when making
   xserver-xfree86. The problem was the malformed Depends: line in the
   control file generated. 
10- looking further I discover that dh_movefiles didn't move the files, so
dh_shlibdeps didn't make the Depends line correctly.
11- It also didn't move the files of xutils.
12- the contents of xutils.files and xserver-xfree86.list ar ok. They exist
in th tmp/ dir in the right locations.

13- I saw some errors about dpkg not found.

Why dh_movefiles failed?
Is it anything to do with dpkg >= 1.7? 
If it is, where is a potato dpkg >= 1.7 package? (It isn't in proposed
updates nor experimental)
