yes -- this would probably be the easiest/most straightforward way at the moment, so just keep it this way, and let me just blurb about this alternative approach I had in mind: > I have just moved the git submodule code out of the way in favour of > tarball imports with pristine-tar. As far as I understand, the xorg > source has to be in the package, one shouldn't affect the other directly, although lack of submodules support in pristine-tar (as far I see it being absent) might be an obstacle. What I thought is to have xorg-server/ -- submodule in git orig.tar.gz tarball containing full source tree including content of xorg-server/ so the problem (nuisance) only would be the fact that pristine-tar seems to don't know (from a quick grep) about submodules so I guess its delta would be quite big, thus reducing the convenience of having that submodule in the first place. > For being +/- independent from pkg-xorg Git changes the pristine-tar > approach is probably better.
