That would be lovely, but it would create a circular dependency, which is impossible to resolve building from source. new xorg-x11 depends on new opengl-update, so new opengl-update can't depend on new xorg-x11, otherwise you could never upgrade either of them. And xfree compat is a non-issue at this point because it's obsoleted and removed from the tree. if there would be a circular dependancy..... why you dont' just integrate your xfree-broken opengl-update in the xorg-x11-package? xfree obsoleted.... nice... how can it be obsolete when xorg doesn't run correctly on my system yet? Because it's a two-year-old release of X. There are only so many versions one can support at a time, and those are the new ones. What you suggest would force a full recompile of xorg-x11 if we discovered a bug in opengl-update. |
