Package: nx-libs
nx-libs has copies of a number of libraries in nx-X11/extras/ (and some glue in nx-X11/libs). We should get rid of these and use system provided versions.
As a first stab, I'm able to remove the following without any harm:
rm -r nx-X11/extras/{drm,fonts,ogl-sample,regex,ttf2pt1,x86emu,zlib} rm -r nx-X11/lib/{regex,zlib}
expat appears to be essentially the 1.95.6 version. And can be disabled by setting HasExpat YES in nx-X11/config/cf/host.def.
fontconfig is an unmodified fontconfig 2.3.2 and can be disabled with HasFontconfig YES.
rman is not needed and can be disabled with BuildRman NO.
That's a far as I've gotten today.
Thanks for having started working on this. You earlier reported this request via BTS (#116) and getting a fix for this issue rolling is pretty valuable, I guess.
We won't be able to remove the source folders you referred to from our nx-libs.git repos as the git repos also documents how NoMachine releases get merged into NX (redistributed). However, we should get rid of those folders at build-time (.deb packages) and get rid of those folders from the tarballs (.rpm et al. packages).
So, if you work on this (I know that you work on .rpm based systems), please edit nx-libs.git/debian/roll-tarball.sh for us whenever you want to remove files from the tarball. If you need some other build options, provide that change as a patch for our patch system. Just send the patch, I will transform that into an appropriate quilt patch.
For the .deb build process, we have to move folders out of the way during build-time via /debian/rules. I can see to that, once you have a diff for the roll-tarball.sh script.
Greets+Thanks! Mike
Okay, here goes my initial changes.
I'd still like to unbundle Xpm if possible, but it does get linked to libXcomp. And Mesa may be just too integrated.
