Description Gilboa Davara 2008-03-11 07:04:40 UTC
I'm trying to get idesk (desktop icons for minimal WM's) submitted into Fedora. [1]
I'm being hit by a crash on AMD64 in imlib_blend_image_onto_image.
According to Debian idesk maintainer [2], this problem can be solved by
disabling the amd64 assembly optimizations within imlib2. (Attached patch)
I can confirm that this work-around does indeed solves the problem.

I'm unaware of any potential problems with this patch.

Comment 5 Gilboa Davara 2008-03-11 12:42:58 UTC
P.S. I assume that you're the maintainer of the EPEL package, right?

Comment 6 Hans de Goede 2008-03-11 13:51:51 UTC
Nope, and appearantly he has't asked to be added to the CC for Fedora bugs.


Comment 7 Gilboa Davara 2008-03-12 17:09:14 UTC
If nothing major breaks, I'll file a second BZ against EPEL.

Thanks again,
Gilboa
