XFree86-3.1.2 packages released



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

XFree86 (3.1.2); priority=MEDIUM

Package: (various)
Version: 3.1.2
Maintainer: Stephen Early <sde1000@cam.ac.uk>

This is a complete re-release of the ELF version of the X packages. It
is medium priority because it contains security fixes. Although the
changes are minor, they affect all of the packages.

These are the changes between the first release of the ELF X packages
and this release:

all packages:
  * Revision field removed from control file

xlib:
  * depends on ldso >=1.7.14-1 to fix ldconfig problem

xdevel:
  * depends on ldso >=1.7.14-1 to fix ldconfig problem

  * .so symlinks now point to .6.0 files rather than .6

xbase:
  * xdm scripts made executable where appropriate

  * unwanted resources removed from /etc/X11/Xresources

  * preinst changed to check for existance of /usr/{bin,lib}/X11

  * symlink /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -> ../Xsession added

  * ensure that scripts in /etc/X11 get execute permission set

  * xterms now generate utmp entries by default

  * xbase-configure doesn't crash if /etc/X11/Xserver isn't present

  * documentation file for X server wrapper added

xserver-mach32:
  * dot clock limit for 16bpp modes raised

xserver-*:
  * postinst changed to check for existence of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 before
    checking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

  * /tmp/.t?-lock security problem fixed; lock files are now put in /var/run

xfnt-*:
  * postrm changed to avoid running mkfontdir more often than necessary


These are the changes between the a.out version of the X packages and
this release:

* the xstd package no longer exists

* the base fonts are no longer in xbase; they have a package of their
  own

* the xserver packages have been renamed so that they all appear
  together in dselect

* development tools (headers, etc.) are in a new package 'xdevel'

* the Xnest server is now available in the 'xnest' package

* the contributed clients are in a separate package. As this is built
  from separate source, the package is announced in another message


Various bugs present in the a.out release have been fixed, most
notably:

* xterm now sets tty ownership (user.tty) correctly

* X servers are no longer SUID root; there is a small wrapper program
  that reads a configuration file and works out whether the user is allowed
  to run the server   (see /usr/doc/X11/debian.README for details)

* /etc/init.d/{xdm,xfs} don't source /etc/init.d/functions

* xdm should not attempt to start a missing X server

* the xdm configuration files are more sensible

If you are upgrading from the a.out X packages I recommend that you
install the new xbase configuration files, then edit them if
necessary. There have been several improvements made over the
configuration files in previous versions. However, even if you don't
do this your system should still work.

People building ELF X client packages please note that they should
depend on 'elf-x11r6lib' rather than 'X11R6'. This seems to be the
simplest way of ensuring that people who need to upgrade their
libraries are told about this when they try to install your client
package. Clients _should_ be compatible with the old elf-x11r6lib
package in project/experimental/elf, although I have not tested this.


The full source is not included in the source package. You need to
obtain the X11R6 source (xc-{1,2,3}.tar.gz), the X consortium fix-12,
the XFree86-3.1.2 source patch (XFree86-3.1.2.diff.gz) and the
XFree86-3.1.2 security patch (3.1.2-3.1.2-S.diff.gz) before you can
build these packages. You will need around 300Mb of disk space.
