What is the time schedule for pre2, i will try to build it and provide more SDK patches before it. Also, the current SDK patches i provide re-use certain header files from xlibs-dev, while it could make sense to have all those headers in the SDK. What is the opinion of the debian X team on this ? I suppose the SDK package could simply depend on the xlibs-dev of the same version, and there should be no problem because of it. Friendly, Sven Luther
