See the X Strike Force page, http://master.debian.org/~branden/xsf.html. XFree86 will continue to be two source packages, but they're both getting smaller. The first, which is the libraries, the binaries, and the manpages, will go down from almost 22 megs to under 16 (the fonts are being moved to the other source package). The second, which will be just the fonts and the books, will shrink from about 19.5 megs to under 14. See that URL for the reason I can shave all this off. > (I don't recall them being pristine sources at the moment anyway) They're not. For historical reasons, they're distributed as three huge gzipped tar files, all of which unpack into a directory called "xc". -- G.
