Right. As soon as I sort out with upstream which version of Freetype is required, I'll hopefully have fully working packages (they were working on a month-old snapshot, then I updated). I'll aim to keep CVS updating on a weekly basis, and also include 4.2.99.4, and 4.3.0. Currently they work on i386 and powerpc, and I've subverted an hppa machine to test with as well, so it should work on at least 3 architectures (depending on time constraints, I might also work on the alpha and sparcs I have available).
