For reference: m68k is the only released architecture that doesn't have X4 uploaded yet. X4 can't be added to any architectures until it's ready to be added to all architectures, because: * Installing xfree86.dsc into testing/i386 means installing the new xlib6g package from X4 which is binary-all. * Install a binary-all package into any architecture in a suite installs it into all architectures in that suite. * Installing X4's xlib6g on m68k means everything that depends on xlib6g is uninstallable (since xlib6g depends on xlibs which hasn't been uploaded for m68k) which amounts to 1000 odd packages. . At a guess, it's probably worthwhile uploading just the X client side of X4 for m68k, which should at least mean that if X4 is added to testing (woody), the only thing that'll be broken is the X server, rather than a thousand otherwise innocent packages... At the moment, btw, all the pre-tests for xfree86 are disabled (ie, RC bugs, how old it is, whether some of the binaries on some architectures are out of date compared to the source).
