Here's the first cut of 4.1.0.
MANIFEST files for architectures other than i386 have NOT yet been updated,
since I never know exactly what is going to build for a given architecture.
However, the file debian/403-to-410-MANIFEST-diff-for-i386 in the source
package may be a helpful guideline.
I have builds for SPARC and PowerPC in progress right now. If you're the de
facto "X guy" for your architecture, please mail debian-x with any
questions/issues/patches (private mail is also okay, but I stand less of a
chance of losing it in debian-x and that list is low traffic of late anyway).
Let me also take this opportunity to thank all the people who made the
following possible:
xlibs | 4.0.3-4 | unstable | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips,
powerpc, sparc
That's a very nice thing to see. Unfortunately, not all architecture
patches applied well to the 4.1.0 sources, so there is some work cut out
for us; see debian/held-patches for the gory details. I've updated my
patch numbering system; please see debian/README in the source package.
A kind of changelog follows.
xfree86 (4.1.0-0pre1v1) unstable; urgency=low
* Thanks to those who have been patient. No thanks to those who have been
pestering me in private email.
* This package is UNOFFICIAL. DO NOT file bugs against it.
* N.B.: Yes, I know some of the xfonts-* packages are now huge. Something
will be done about this before 4.1.0-1. In the meantime, DON'T BOTHER ME
ABOUT IT.
* KNOWN ISSUES:
+ mkfontdir will howl about 3 fonts in xfonts-75dpi. This is an upstream
bug and has already been reported. I don't want to hear about it.
+ xdm's postinst may complain "hostname: Unknown host"; this appears to be
a bug in the hostname package (it no longer appears to recognize the -f
option or any of its longoption synonyms). If you see this behavior you
may want to check the hostname package's bug list, and file a bug report
if one hasn't been already. Again, *I* don't want to hear about this
one; it's not even in my package.
* new upstream version
noteworthy changes from a packaging perspective:
+ [xmh] Thought xmh was dead? It lives again (*sigh*). xmh binary,
manpage, and app-defaults file are in the resurrected "xmh" package.
+ [xlibs] XKB data removed:
- {keymap/sgi,symbols}/cs
- symbols/cs_qwerty
- symbols/czsk
- symbols/gr
+ [xlibs] XKB data added:
- symbols/by
- {keymap/sgi,symbols}cz
- {keymap/sgi,symbols}cz_qwerty
- {keymap/sgi,symbols}sk
- {keymap/sgi,symbols}sk_qwerty
- symbols/el
- symbols/hr
- symbols/lv
- types/extra
+ [xutils] SuperProbe has died; removed references to it
+ [xutils] fsinfo renamed to xfsinfo
+ [xutils] new utilities: ccmakedep, cleanlinks
+ [xbase-clients?] new utilities: dpsexec, dpsinfo, glxgears, texteroids,
xftcache
+ [xlibs] new bitmaps: black6 and box6
+ [xlibs-dev] headers for highly experimental and unfinished XvMC
extension; if you care about this, forget you read it because XvMC is
NOT READY YET
+ [xbase-clients] new "Options" file for xf86cfg to play with
+ [xlibs-dev] new file "version.def"
+ [xspecs] most of these files have been renamed because upstream rejected
my patch to give them IMO more sensible names
+ [xfree86-common] new document, README.dps, which describes the
Display PostScript rendering extension for X
+ [xserver-xfree86] new document, README.rapidaccess, which describes a
hacker's method of getting the extra buttons on IBM RapidAccess
keyboards to work
+ [xfonts-100dpi]
- latin2/ directory is now gone
- more bitmapped versions of Adobe Utopia
+ [xfonts-75dpi]
- latin2/ directory is now gone
- more bitmapped versions of Adobe Utopia
* included some fixes from xf-4_1-branch:
+ Add two missing symbols to loader reference for the glint driver
(#4740, Mike Harris).
+ Fix glide driver that causes -configure to fail for all drivers
(Alan Hourihane).
+ Fix broken TGA driver (Alan Hourihane).
+ Fix FIFO reset trouble in tdfx driver by lowering the FIFO size due to
suspect code in Glide3. (Alan Hourihane).
+ Fix Xvideo in tdfx driver when using YUY2 or UYVY data (Alan Hourihane).
+ Fix problem in Ib/Xaw/AsciiSrc.c:nitStringOrFile() when descriptor 0
is closed, as a zero return value from open(2) is taken as an error
(splite at purdue.edu).
+ Add missing vbeFree symbol to mga driver (Alan Hourihane).
* debian/{*.shlibs,shlibs.local}: bumped versioning to >> 4.1.0, and added
libXmuu to xlibs.shlibs

- add references to bdftruncate.pl, ccmakedep, cleanlinks, and ucs2any.pl
in xutils's description
- fsinfo renamed to xfsinfo, xutils's description updated accordingly
* debian/copyright: updated
* Contents of debian/patches almost completely overhauled. Many of our
changes are now upstream. Things to note:
+ Numbering scheme has changed. See debian/README.
+ Some architecture-specific patches had to be moved to held-patches
because of large changes upstream.
* debian/local/dexconf: a couple of cosmetic and stylistic changes
* debian/xbase-clients.files:
- add dpsexec, dpsinfo, glxgears, texteroids, and their manpages
- ship Options file for xf86cfg

(shared version)
* debian/xlibs-dev.files:
- ship headers for XvMC extension (experimental work-in-progess)
- ship new file version.def
- new library; libXmuu, a version of Xmu that does not depend on Xt
(static version)
* debian/xlibmesa{3,-dev}.{files*,links}: upstream puts these libraries in
/usr/X11R6/lib and my patch to fix it doesn't work anymore; work around
the problem with symlinks from /usr/lib/libGL* into /usr/X11R6/lib
* debian/xlibmesa3.files: add Radeon DRI module
* debian/xmh.{conffiles,files,menu}: xmh lives again...
* debian/xutils.files*:
- remove SuperProbe and its manpage
- add ccmakedep
- renamed fsinfo to xfsinfo
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
- more paranoid checks for bad output from discover
- if the vga driver is selected, set default mode list to only
640x480, and set default depth to 4 (only affects these questions if
they are not seen)
- add vmware to i386 driver list
* debian/xserver-xfree86.docs.*:
- add README.rapidaccess document
* debian/xserver-xfree86.files.*:
