As of TC 4.x, mention Xorg dependency in info file, not in dep file.
« on: October 01, 2011, 10:44:59 AM »
Since we support multiple versions of Xorg now, we are no longer to put Xorg-$VER.tcz in dep files.  Instead mention in the info file that an app requires Xorg.  Xorg will be removed from dep files online, so please do not place Xorg in future dep files.  Thanks.

The below extensions have had Xorg itself removed from their dep files.  I will add a mention in the info files that Xorg is required for use, extension makers can then later adjust or reword as desired.

Ok, all of Xorg-7.5-lib, Xorg-7.5-bin, and Xorg-7.5-dev has been changed to Xorg-7.6-lib, Xorg-7.6-bin, and Xorg-7.6-dev.  Please remember to include these in dep files when sending in updates.

It think I have a deja-vu.
Didn't we support both 7.4 and 7.5 on tc 3?

Yeah, but we were now at a crossroads of having to sort out a mess in the dep files that did not exist earlier in 3.x, or at least not to the degree it had become.  And taking the principle of ALSA and OSS of not specifying either in a dep file makes it much simpler to keep things straight with no conflicts.

Hi Jason W
I'm a little confused. In your original post you said not to include Xorg in the dependency files. About an hour later
in reply #3 you say to remember to include it in the dependency file. If so, I should include Xorg7.6, and if someone
needs to run Xorg7.5 they should change their copy of the dependency file to Xorg7.5?

- do not include Xorg itself (the X server)
- use the latest -libs, -dev etc extensions

Hi curaga
Thanks for the clarification. I'm planning on submitting the same extension for TC3.x. Should I follow the same
procedure and only include the latest libs for that too?

Yes, though I can't recall whether 7.6 was available for 3.x.

Hi curaga
TC3.x does not offer Xorg7.6, it has 7.4 and 7.5. My dependencies can be satisfied by Xorg7.4 or Xorg7.5-lib.

For extensions with a -lib dependency, would it be better to create a Xorg-lib.tcz or Xorg-7-lib.tcz meta-extension which will depend on the latest extension as appropriate and would be used in an extension's .dep?
