[Please direct follow-ups to debian-x@lists.debian.org; thank you.]
Hello,
I am announcing this test release to 4 architecture lists as well as the
Debian X list because this release has fixes important to all of these
architectures.
I have access to PowerPC and IA-64 machines and will be testing builds
on those architectures today (hopefully).
I do, however, need feedback on how well these packages build and work
on ARM and S/390.
Needless to say, these updates are important for the woody release.

Changes:

.
* patch #065: updated comments to point to Debian mailing list discussion of
this patch so that people can figure out what's going on
* patch #066: supplementary patch to #065, which should handle the cases
that #065 does not (thanks, Jack Howarth) (Closes: #141116)
* patch #067: in the ELF module loader, do not assume that memory returned
by malloc() is marked executable (needed by forthcoming Linux 2.4.18 for
IA-64) (thanks, Bdale Garbee and David Mosberger)
* patch #068: treat errno of ENODEV as non-fatal when trying to access I/O
ports; based on a patch by Philip Blundell (Closes: #141357)
* patch #400: resynced with patch #068
* debian/MANIFEST.s390: updated yet again (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
* debian/control:
- xserver-common now declares a versioned conflict against all XFree86 3.x
X server packages prior to 3.3.6-35, due to the X server wrapper's
changed expectations about how /etc/X11/X should be handled
(Closes: #141636)
- change architecture of x-window-system-core from "all" to "any" so that
all that XWSC_SPECIAL_DEPENDS stuff actually has a chance to work; also
updated this package's extended description (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
* debian/rules: add special logic to install README and README.fonts files
due to apparent bug in upstream Imakefile (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
* debian/scripts/vars.s390: new variable, NOT_BUILDING_XF86_SERVER, used by
above debian/rules patch (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)

Kalmetev) (Closes: #136937)
