I just had a quick look at the git repo. The packaging looks sane
enough. The git tree is kind of a mess though. It would be nicer IMO
to directly pull from the upstream git tags at
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl, rather
than dump the contents directly. Same goes for debian/xsfbs/ stuff.
Also the code is moved to a versioned xserver-xorg-video-qxl-0.0.12
subdir inside your git tree, which is not the way to go IMO.
debian/patches/series mentions fix_qxl_driver_assert.patch, but that
patch is not in the repo (I assume it's upstream's "qxl: remove asserts
that make no sense anymore" commit).
Some minor stuff that could be updated for recent changes in other
pkg-xorg drivers:
- rename the build dir from 'obj-$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)' to 'build' or
similar, there's no reason to have the build machine type in there
(that's just a cosmetic change)
- update xsfbs.mk to the latest version, build-depend on
xserver-xorg-dev 2:1.7.6.901, and use ${xviddriver:Depends} instead of
${xserver:Depends}. This should allow us to handle ABI changes
without Conflicts/Breaks in the future, see #573371.
- drop the http://xorg.freedesktop.org and mailman urls from
debian/control
Thanks for working on this driver!
Cheers,
Julien
