I hope this is not a final decision. And would hope for a more formal message, other then a notification in IRC while I am marked as away, and due to no response in 30 minutes have my commit rights removed. The problem in xf86-input-evdev was that I only tested the "make distcheck correction" using --prefix=/usr. I don't disagree that for this special case, given that xf86-input-evdev is actively maintained by you and Peter, it would have been better to first post the "janitor" patch to the list for comments and approval. I even added a comment of what would be a more proper solution (exactly what Dan Nicholson said in another email), but it still is not what I believe is the proper solution to handle pkg-config variables specifying directories (unfortunately I did not implement that because the simpler, but wrong solution, worked in my test case). I avoided making the "make distcheck" corrections in a batch so that if any problems arised, it would be noticed earlier. And posting a huge amount of frequently one liners, trivial patches, would just add gratuitous noise to the list. Well, I just hope this is not the final response for voluntary work on correcting make distcheck and other "trivial" problems in the xorg packages. > Cheers, > Daniel Paulo _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
