Package: release-notes Severity: important With the release of modular Xorg 7.0 packages, some structural changes have been made that may hit users during upgrade and thus should be documented in the Release Notes. The most important issue is that /usr/X11R6/bin has been dropped and only remains as a symlink to /usr/bin. This means it has to be empty at the time of the upgrade. The new packages conflict with most packages that used /usr/X11R6/bin, but maybe not all have been caught. The RN should document how users can prepare for the upgrade and how they can work their way out of trouble if a conflict should arise. A potential other issue is that paths for fonts and modules have changed and thus changes in the X configuration file may be needed. Whether this really is an issue depends on how well conversion of old X11 config files is supported at the time of the release.
