Any module (drivers) depending on xserver also depends on some of the server private dependencies. Any driver including xf86.h depends on xext, kbproto, inputproto and randr.
These dependencies are in separate packages, so anything can happen, removal, wrong version, etc... and the driver fails during compilation. Having the private dependencies declared will ensure all packages the server depends on are present and at the correct version. Currently each module attempts to check for server dependencies with various degrees of accuracy. With this patch, the driver will only need to check for its own explicit dependencies. Now that xproto is included in Requires.private it is removed from Requires. All the cflags from both Requires and Requires.private are returned to caller to pkg-config.

There is a side-effect, some compiler flags are added due to xtrans: -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAS_FCHOWN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT Given that the drivers are part of the server and the the server code is compiled with these flags, there should be no issue. A driver can always append a flag to correct any situation. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
