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dh_suidregister is no longer valid.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:
5418.94user 540.66system 1:46:07elapsed 93%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (17628712major+7857414minor)pagefaults 0swaps
(using a dual PII400/128MB/SCSI, but only 1 cpu was used)

The log was about 9MB

 Hi,
 
 I belive this may have something to do with the version of dpkg you are
 using.
 Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the X4.0.x packages require dpkg 1.7 and
 newer?

Yep, I see it now.

Trying that...

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 glide3/* 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)

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. :(
