Hi all, I'm thinking that we should drop general/000_stolen_from_linuxwacom_wacom_driver.diff all together. I've looked at the new upstream release (0.7.2) and it's vastly different than what we're currently shipping. The driver is currently at a point where it deserves its own package, like the synaptics driver. The FTBFS's on mips and mipsel are due to symbol issues with this driver and we're getting bug reports about it causing serious issues for this reason. I think my hack job on updating it to 6.8 failed miserably. So rather than write the Imakefile necessary to build 0.7.2 in-tree, I'd rather remove it and resolve the bugs by using upstream's build system. We're going to be shipping the driver externally for 7.0 anyway, so this will mainly be a head-start on that.
The major issues are that people who need this driver may not be satisfied with the one that comes with Xorg. We may have to hack together a package for them. Another major issue is that the driver appears to require the Xorg sources to build, which means that the driver package would have to temporarily patch the necessary sources in to its tree (how problematic this is, I don't know). If someone actually owns one of these touchpads and would like to take responsibility for this driver, I'd love to give it away. I can't personally handle it, lacking the hardware, but I'd be happy to facilitate anyone. Thoughts? - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
