Hi everyone, We're in preparation to upload X.Org packages to unstable, and one of the things which will happen in this transition is a change in the way xlibs-static-* packages are handled. If your package build-depends on xlibs-static, you'll have to update your build-depends to deal with the transition. A list of packages that I am aware of which build-depend on xlibs-static-* is below, sorted by maintainer. If your package is on this list, or if I missed you, you may want to check the collection of available Ubuntu patches for your package[0] to see if your problem has already been solved.
If your package is not already patched by Ubuntu, then you'll have to make the transition yourself. A table has been made that maps header files to new library packages[1], so you need to figure out which headers your app uses and then add that library to your Build-Depends. Another item of note is that Xinerama support can currently be silently disabled by the build system if Xinerama.h is absent. Please be sure to pass --enable-xinerama in your builds if you use Xinerama, in order to be sure that this doesn't happen to you, as it will then fail if Xineram a.h is absent. For those of you who want to test your package builds against the new system, there are packages for x86 built and available, or you can pu ll and build yourself. The Ubuntu X.Org packages, if you're running them, also have this change, so you can continue to use them for testing your packages if you prefer. - David Nusinow [0] http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/patches/ [1] http://people.ubuntu.com/~daniels/xlibs-static-dev.txt [2] Add "deb http://people.debian.org/~dnusinow/xorg ./" to your sources.list. The sources are also available in this archive if you want to build for a different arch. ---------- Maintainer: Akira TAGOH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: at-spi Package: gok Maintainer: Arnaud Patard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: control-center Maintainer: C=E9dric Delfosse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: gl-117 Package: iris Maintainer: Debian OpenOffice Team <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org> Package: openoffice.org Maintainer: Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-kde@lists.debian.org> Package: arts Package: kdebase Package: kdegraphics Package: kdemultimedia Package: kdenetwork Maintainer: Debian Xfce Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: libxfce4mcs Package: libxfcegui4 Package: xfce-mcs-manager Package: xfce4-appfinder Package: xfce4-iconbox Package: xfce4-utils Maintainer: Filip Van Raemdonck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: clanlib Package: gswitchit Package: libxklavier Maintainer: Guenter Geiger (Debian/GNU) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: gem Maintainer: Guillem Jover <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: xfstt Maintainer: Gustavo Noronha Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: gvidm Maintainer: Jamie Wilkinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: freeglut Maintainer: John Lightsey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: xmms-jess Maintainer: Josselin Mouette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Package: wmcoincoin Maintainer: Laurence J.
