x11-drivers/xf86-input-fpit doesn't compile with xorg-server-1.7 and is listed as blocker inside xorg-drivers-1.7 ebuild. The attached patch makes it fly again. Also see URL. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 232573 [details, diff] ABI fixes for fpit-1.3.0
Fpit was really patched, but they never bothered with release. Question is if it won't be better just remove it from portage.
Why? It compiles and works ;) There are people using it
Hello?
Please contact X.org upstream that they make a new release.
And can we get this fixed in the meantime? Since it's quite trivial it would be nice to make users happy ;)
