Sure, but maybe you could announce here when you create new xfree-1 source
packages? I do not read devel usually and I do not want to scan the ftp
archives all the time, I think this list is just for this.

Thanks, its looking good. I will try it out at home.
I hope you also accept the Xmodmap change, a backspace/delete entry
(commented of course) for m68k/amigas, maybe thats also usable for
m68k/atari and mac, dont remember if I ever got an answer to that.
Now the real m68k problems, I had to use this patch in the rules file:
--- rules.orig Sun Sep 5 16:32:21 1999
+++ rules Sun Sep 5 17:01:50 1999
@@ -7,7 +7,7 @@
# m68k is stubbornly staying behind at glibc 2.0 (libc 6.0)
LIBC6MINORVERSION_m68k=0
-LIBC6MINORVERSION_default=1
+LIBC6MINORVERSION_default=0
# sparc never managed to get all the way to libc 5.4
LIBC5MINORVERSION_sparc=3
since the way LIBC6MINORVERSION is set later does not work correctly. For a
test rules file, see xfree_rules, xfree_rules.out (on m68k)
To test this on i486, see the _i486 and _i486.out files, there I
arbitrarily set i486 to use libc6 2.0, and youll see that it does not work
this way.
Maybe somebody can fix this problem in the rules file with this info?
Otherwise I propose that you go back the way you set LIBC6MINORVERSION in
xfree-3.3.3.1, which worked for m68k (after applying a little patch...).
Note: this patch will not work on i386, its just a hack for me ATM.
Next problem: the create-compat-* scripts are not called on m68k, allthough
the BINARY variably is set accordingly, I dont know whats wrong here.
Next problem:
I had to patch an imakefile to remove mach64 imstt pm2 from it, since those
do not build on m68k. This is different from the old ATI patch from Geert,
which is allready in debian/patches. No idea if my patch is correct, but at
least xfree builds now and works for me. See 025_xserver_imake.diff
Thats all about the m68k build problems I think , I have seen xfree-3.3.4-2
but did not try building it yet.
Ciao,
Christian.
