[ptxdist] fbv package removed

[ptxdist] fbv package removed

[Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia]

Hi all,

I just noticed that the fbv package has been removed after one year in
staging. I am using this on several BSPs and didn't realize it had
been moved to staging. The reasons for removal are:

"Old and obsolete, upstream gone. Fails to build with current libpng."

However, the libpng problem had already been addressed in this patch:
https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/ptxdist/commit?id=4a0738ec264fcbf809863dd245aff012bee274e6

Also, upstream is alive: http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/fbv/

Given the above, can we revert this and move this out of staging
again? Should I send this as a patch?

Thanks,

Yes, and yes. The only point of the staging area is to be a pool for
packages that don't build anymore and for which nobody seems to care. If
both those reasons are taken care of, no problem :)

Perfect, thank you. Will prepare the patch and send it.
