Subject: Final test build of XFree86 for slink -- PLEASE TEST

Sorry for the wide crossposting.
XFree86 3.3.2.3a-10pre11v2 is available at
http://master.debian.org/~branden/xfree86.
If there are no problems with it, it will be rebuilt tomorrow with the
changelog edited to change its Debian version to -11, and uploaded to
master.
I cannot stress how important it is that this release be tested.
I have abandoned two of my goals for the slink release because it is too
close.
1) The merging of a lot of patches from the xlib6g buglist regarding
locales and XKB data. These are not release critical, and I'm pushing
the envelope enough as it is. I am sorry to neglect Debian users who
do not use ISO-8859-1 by default in this manner, but addressing these =
bugs
is very, very high on my priority list for potato X.
2) There will be no bogus xfnt* or xslib(g) packages that depend upon
their counterparts with new names.[1]
Thanks especially to Anders Hammarquist, Ben Collins, and Robert Woodcock
for helping me realize the other two goals I had for final slink X
(packages ready for alpha and sparc without modification, and making
xf86config and XF86Setup aware of /etc/X11/Xsession).
[1] Jason Gunthorpe, apt author, has assured me in no uncertain terms that
Santiago Vila's proposal to create bogus packages with the names of
the old font and static library packages is the wrong solution because
apt cannot be guaranteed to do the right thing.
Indeed the scenario of:
package A depends on package B
package B conflicts with package A
is pathological. The existing Conflicts: of the new font and static
library packages with the old is completely within the spirit and
letter of the Debian packaging manual. To create bogus packages would
not be. This issue is best addressed with something like an
auto-upgrade script. I am willing to work with anyone who would like
to develop a solution that is not abusive of the packaging system.
This is a problem that must be solved outside the existing packaging
system. Any bugs filed against the X packages complaining about this
will be closed or reassigned. Sorry to sound defensive, but I have
been harassed enough about it. In retrospect, it was a mistake to
rename the packages, but that genie is out of the bottle. In practice,
this problem is not grave because the contents of the font and static
library packages have not changed substantively since they were renamed.

xfree86 (3.3.2.3a-10pre11v2) frozen unstable; urgency=3DHIGH
.
* With any luck, final release for slink.
* Thanks to Anders Hammarquist, Steve Dunham, Christian Meder and Mike
Shuey for the Alpha and Sparc architecture patches (affected too many
files to list)
* Thanks to Ben Collins for patches to XF86Setup
+ programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/XF86Setup/card.tcl: do not let people
configure servers that are not installed, and be able to read
gzipped X server README files
+ programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/XF86Setup/{phase[145].tcl,setuplib.tcl}:
write to /etc/X11/Xserver instead of juggling symlink, and skip
checks for various installed files
* programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/XF86Conf.man: change "DisableVidMode" to
"DisableVidModeExtension" for consistency with actual use by X server
* programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86config.c: correct typo (Fixes: #32946)
* debian/control: changed dependency of rstart and rstartd from "netstd |
ssh" to "netstd", since ssh is non-free
* debian/control: fix some conflicts and replaces (Fixes: #33045)

which actually exist (Fixes: #33080)

only ever launch one X client directly (thanks, David Luyer and Wicher=
t)
* debian/xfs/README.Debian: minor updates
