Gentoo’s vte patches

Posted on June 20th, 2007 by Daniel

Behdad:

Gentoo’s pango and vte each have one patch.

Pango’s patch includes the arch name in the config file name, so that we can have separate 32 and 64 bit versions of pango installed at the same time.

vte’s patch removes the lazy bindings, causing all bindings to be resolved at link time.

Both predate my time with Gentoo, so I have no idea if they were submitted upstream, sorry.

    psst…when did the addy change? I kept looking for you guys, and it seemed your site was down, so this evening I decided to just google you…..and there you were! *laugh*

    Sorry, it’s just odd to lose people, that’s all.

    To the fprintf.com site. My bookmark to there stopped working a couple of weeks ago, apparently :)

    Aha. I’d completely forgotten that http://www.fprintf.net pointed to http://www.gryniewicz.com… I’ve fixed http://www.fprint.net/dang/blog/ and http://www.fprintf.net/nette/blog/ to recdirect to our blogs. It should work correctly now…

    Hey. Thanks.

    The Pango one is a known issue. We have a similar patch in Fedora.

    For vte, in Fedora we do things like that by passing LDFLAGS to configure instead of patching Makefiles. Not sure how Gentoo does it, but that’s really a distro issue anyway.

    Cheers,
