Redundant with `xorg-libxcb` #1

Closed pkgw closed 7 years ago

pkgw commented 7 years ago

Whoops. While working on providing the whole set of X.org client libraries with conda-forge, I didn't manage to discover that this package had already been created. The relatively new xorg-libxcb- package is redundant with this one.

I'm biased but I'd recommend keeping xorg-libxcb and deprecating this one. That package is built on all three platforms, whereas this one is provided for Linux only. It is also built against several optional dependencies to provide more features, and it has a recipe and build scripts that are consistent with the rest of the X.org packages I've been working on.

I think this package is only used as a dependency of the Qt 5 package ... does anyone know if that's correct or not?

That's correct. I don't have a problem with deprecating this package since you're in charge of it now.

@ocefpaf, @jakirkham, what do you say?
