Hello XFS and other readers (like me). I'm working on the transition of the xfree86-driver-synaptics toward the new XOrg packages and they will closely follow the same route of the XOrg packages. They are available at: http://people.debian.org/~malattia/debian or for the impatients: deb http://people.debian.org/~malattia/debian binary/ deb-src http://people.debian.org/~malattia/debian source/ and are called xorg-driver-synaptics.
One question to the XSF tough (which I already asked when first naming the package): having to rename the package wouldn't make sense finding a less explicit name? I mean, as the same binary package of the synaptics driver can actually work with both xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xorg (tested) maybe something like xdriver-synaptics-touchpad or xdriver-input-synaptics. This way I could also relax dependencies (xserver instead of xserver-*) and probably make thing easier for backports. What do you think? Greetings! -- mattia :wq!
