[I am not subscribed to -s390; please follow-up to -x as well.]
Can an s390 person please test revision 1177 of the trunk in the XSF SVN
repository of XFree86?
The goal of that change was to make sure that s390 stops uselessly
setting up and building the xc-xserver-xfree86-dbg directory. This
should speed up the build a little.
Here are some instructions for building from SVN:
Building the package
--------------------
The following procedure is recommended for build-testing the trunk. Example
commands are given for most steps.
1) Ensure Debian unstable is in your sources.list.
2) Install the packages you'll need to build the xfree86 source package.
apt-get build-dep xfree86
3) Install devscripts, which will make life easier.
apt-get install devscripts
4) Retrieve the Debian xfree86 source package.
apt-get source xfree86
5) Change directories into the unpackaged source tree.
cd xfree86-4.3.0
6) Remove the debian/ directory.
rm -r debian
7) Export the debian directory of the trunk of the XFree86 Subversion
repository.
svn export svn://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xfree86/trunk/debian debian
(You can use the --revision option if necessary.)
8) Create a changelog entry that identifies this as a local build. THIS STEP
IS IMPORTANT. DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT.
dch -D local -i "Local build for testing purposes."
(Feel free to be more specific with the text of the changelog entry.)
9) Build the package.
debuild -us -uc
10) Upgrade to the resulting packages.
dpkg -iO ../*.deb
