Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe/meta.yaml) and found it was in an excellent condition.

I wonder if we can get this transition complete by just adding a little linter rule

        - xorg-xextproto
        - xorg-glproto
        - xorg-xorgproto

you can add the old protos to
https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/linter_hints/hints.toml

@hmaarrfk I think so, but the old protos aren't archived yet. When some kind of conda-forge wide migration for this happens.

[hmaarrfk]

you can launch it, but what is the real harm? a conflict clobber of header files. that is pretty minor IMO.

edit: conflict -> clobber

Anyways, it's a bit early because I'm not sure all of the X11 packages are done migrating.

why i thought xorg-xorgproto was a superset of all packages.

just remind people (yourself, myself, and pkwg) to depend on that.

I am just cautious because this can lead to failures downstream. I had an experience where colliding headers that were installed together through distinct dependencies failed conda-build.

I will reference @pkgw for the final decision on this.

Can this be done as a regex xorg-[^(?!xorg$)]proto? Don't really know how many legacy proto packages exist.

[pkgw]

I believe there are about 33 legacy proto packages, based on:

https://www.x.org/releases/individual/proto/

Everything except xcb-proto is all merged into xorg-xorgproto now. It's also worth mentioning that the old proto packages are no longer getting updated, so this migration is necessary. There was a case where a library wouldn't build (I think it was libxinput) because it needed newer prototypes that were provided in the xorgproto version of the input prototypes, but not in the inputproto version.

Another factor: before, because there were so many proto packages I added them as run dependencies of the xorg-libx* library packages, since it would be a big pain to have to remember "OK, since I'm building against xorg-libxaw3d, I need to also depend on xorg-inputproto, xorg-xproto, xorg-fixproto, ....".

Now that there's basically only one package, I got rid of those run dependencies. So, packages that have host deps on xorg-libx* libraries will probably need to add a host dep on xorg-xorgproto as well. This is another thing that it would be nice to have a linter/migration check for.

[pkgw]

Oh, and, at this point I believe that the core xorg-* packages are all done migrating to the new UCRT Windows runtime + xorgproto standard. I haven't checked the migration status for a while but I've stopped seeing PRs to those packages, and I did a pass over the migration status a couple of weeks ago and there weren't any xorg-* packages left in the queue.

I think this needs to be fixed so that it points to host: libgl-devel and add https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock/blob/main/recipe/linter_hints/hints.toml.

Could you please open a PR to https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io?

[ehfd]

Opened in conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io#2334 but the linter hints for the relevant Mesa/OpenGL CDTs should also be added.
