I have located a bo box for use in making a security release of X for the stable distribution. Many thanks to Harald Schueler, who came up with the "winning box". Thanks also to Brad, Gregory Dickinson, Alain Toussaint, and Florian Hinzmann for making generous offers as well.
I feel bad for starting a kind of hardware bidding war to win the dubious honor of having an X compile on your machine. If X weren't such a monster (see the X Strike Force page, <http://master.debian.org/~branden/xsf.html> for some data on just how beastly it is), I would have been able to carry out this search with greater discretion. But as people with some older hardware have told me, compiling X can literally be a matter of *days*. Barring some unforseen problem, a security release of X for bo will happen on Monday. Note that this will *only* be an application of XFree86's patches to xterm and libXaw in bo's current version of X, and not an upgrade to the hamm version. Also, for those of who don't know about it and would like to help in the care and feeding of X, see the aforementioned X Strike Force page, where I ask for assistance with certain X issues and attempt to keep people up to speed on what I am doing the package, known problems, recent solutions, et cetera. My apologies to bo users for not having a security release of X out sooner. An "official" Debian machine that tracks the stable release is a priority and will hopefully happen soon, making scenarios like this one much less difficult to address. -- G.
