[Buildroot] DirectFB fetch problem (no tarball on the primary mirror)

[Buildroot] DirectFB fetch problem (no tarball on the primary mirror)

[Ihar Hrachyshka]

Hello guys!
I have a problem building the image with DirectFB because it can't
fetch the source tarball from the mirror (no such file there). It
seems that DirectFB was updated by upstream from 1.2.6 to 1.2.7 and
then upstream developers removed the source tarball for previous
version from their repo. I think we should update the DirectFB version
to 1.2.7 because it's basically a bug fix release.

The 1.2.6 tarball can be found at
http://directfb.org/downloads/Old/DirectFB-1.2.6.tar.gz

But I agree that buildroot should update to version 1.2.7.

Thanks. Your build should still work with 1.2.6 as the tarball is on
the backup mirror, doesn't that work for you?

I'll bump the directfb version after the release.

We can if someone is willing to test it - I don't have any readily
available test setup for it. Otherwise I'll stick to the safe solution
and use 1.2.6.

I have run some tests here with DirectFB 1.2.7 cross-compiled for ARM.
Everything I tested (mostly stuff from DirectFB-examples) works fine.
Attached is a patch to the directfb.mk file that updates it to 1.2.7 and
converts it to Makefile.autotools.in.

Thanks. It didn't apply as it wasn't against latest svn (apparently
something pre-rc1). I fixed it up and cleaned up a few small things,
but please create patches against latest svn in the future.
