i can't believe directfb would still use libsvg. afaik, no other distros even ship libsvg anymore...
oh well, i hope this was researched to avoid useless multilib conversion of libsvg and libsvg-cairo :)

The dependency of DirectFB is correct. I have no idea what other distros do.

Alternatives involve
* drop svg useflag from DirectFB
* only build svg for native ABI
* drop DirectFB support from libsdl{,2} and close the multilib conversion bug
Comment 5 Nikoli 2014-04-05 13:22:24 UTC
Not sure about dropping directfb, but 'drop svg useflag from DirectFB' seems like good idea:
1) Latest release is now 9 years old (libsvg-0.1.4 was added to tree 10 Jul 2005), most likely using it is at least insecure.
2) Checked Arch, Debian, Fedora, ALT, Mageia, OpenSUSE - all of them are building directfb without libsvg:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/libdirectfb-1.2-9

directfb is not on the list of multilib conversions anymore, so this has low importance
