XFree86 4.0.2-11 for i386 and sparc in auric's incoming



FYI.  I'll be prepping powerpc as soon as I get my home firewall debugged.

Heads up, m68k, alpha, arm, s390, mips, hurd-i386.

xfree86 (4.0.2-11) unstable; urgency=low

  * IA64 architecture support from Randolph Chung
  * GNU Hurd support patches from Marcus Brinkmann
  * MANIFEST.arm: updates from Phil Blundell
  * patch #107: changes to XTerm app-defaults file:
    - removed the backarrowKey line
    - added backarrowKeyIsErase: true
    - removed all VT100 translation overrides
  * patch #600: ARM architecture patch for module loader and port I/O (only
    half-applied due to diff problems) (thanks, Phil Blundell)
  * patch #700,701,702: Hurd support patches from Marcus Brinkmann
  * debian/control:
    - tweaked Build-Depends
    - updated xutils extended description with info about some programs not
      being available on all architectures
  * debian/local/dexconf:
    - new function, fetch(), which is a wrapper around db_get that bombs the
      script if needed info from the debconf database is missing (use for all
      db_get's except the video RAM question)
    - make the Configured Mouse the core pointer, not the Generic Mouse
      (fixes problems with people not having USB devices at all, and without
      /dev/input directories)
  * debian/local/update-fonts-{alias,scale}:
    - echo errors to stderr, not stdout
    - slightly improved tempfile handling (no, this isn't a security issue)
  * debian/local/update-fonts-dir{,.8}:
    - new program and manpage in response to bug #88858
    - wrapper around mkfontdir(1) that is intelligent about encodings
      directories
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.glade: the "expert" button label should be
    "Advanced..."
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.py:
    - various tweaks to user-visible text from Robin Drake
    - neomagic driver was inadvertently left out; added it
    - matrox driver was incorrectly named in one place
  * debian/rules: remove call to dh_suidregister
  * debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: add more info to "suspicious" error
    messges (Closes: #89646)
  * debian/xfonts-*.{pre,post}{inst,rm}: use new update-fonts-dir tool instead
    of mkfontdir; sed 's@bin/X11/mkfontdir@sbin/update-fonts-dir@g'
    (Closes: #88858)
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
    - make configuration file clobbering questions high priority
    - if and only if the environment variable DEBUG_XFREE86_DECONF is set
      (to something non-null), debugging output will be generated, and
      pauses will occur before some db_inputs
    - add in lots of debugging for monitor autodetection
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates:
    - don't have modes higher than 1152x864 on by default in the available
      modes list
    - add more info to shared/multiple_possible_x-servers and
      multiple_possible_x-drivers descriptions
  * debian/xterm.{config,templates}: create a debconf question for xterm,
    offering to clobber old xterm X resource file from pre-4.0 packages

xfree86 (4.0.2-10) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
    - libxaw-dev depends on xlibs-dev (Closes: #88375)
    - xlib6g-dev depends on xutils (Closes: #88377)
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.glade: center the popup dialogs
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.py:
    - place desktop configuration screen after
      videocard, monitor, and pointer, because changes to videocard config
      can affect the desktop config widgets, and this ordering is more
      intuitive for the druid interface (addresses Progeny pr/1117)
    - added description to class for new configlet API
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.config: check for changed owners of
    default-x-server template before all autodetection logic
    (addresses Progeny pr/1158)

xfree86 (4.0.2-9) unstable; urgency=HIGH

  * debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: whoops; readlink() doesn't
    null-terminate the target string

 -- Branden Robinson <branden@debian.org>  Tue, 27 Feb 2001 13:13:58 -0500

xfree86 (4.0.2-8) unstable; urgency=medium

  * MANIFEST.*: updated for new configlet images (see below)
  * debian/control:
    - bumped Standards-Version to 3.5.2 (no changes needed)
    - added debconf dependency to all the packages that use it
    - xserver-common now suggests xserver-xfree86 | xserver
    - fix xlibosmesa* short descriptions so they fit in 80 chars
  * debian/local/dexlet/*.xpm: some pictures to fill in the negative space
    in the configlet screens; thanks, Pat Tolbert!
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.glade:
    - add checkbox for new LCD monitor question
    - add some tooltips
    - fix up some irritating widget layout issues
  * debian/local/dexlet/main.py:
    - add logic to support new LCD monitor question
    - fix problem with namespacing of globals for horiz sync, vert refresh,
      and video ram
    - quick hack to make the message dialogs centered, since the configlet
      API doesn't give us access to the main window widget for setting
      them as transients (thanks, Eric Gillespie)
  * debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: check out the X server symlink with
    readlink; abort if it's not a symlink, or if it points back to this
    wrapper
  * debian/shlibs.local:
    - add local shlib override for libGLU
  * debian/{twm,xterm}.prerm: call update-alternatives only on remove or
    deconfigure, not upgrade or failed-upgrade (Closes: #87133)
  * debian/xserver-common.{config,templates}: new question; inform user
    about xserver-xfree86 if they have an obsolete X server on the system
    and not the XFree86 4.x server
  * debian/xserver-common.files: ship new configlet images (see above)
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
    - if the X server symlink points back to the wrapper, automatically
      clobber it
    - comment out a lot of workaround code to see if the shared template
      scanning problem is fixed in debconf
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.postinst:
    - use "message" function, not simple echo
    - only manipulate the /etc/X11/X symlink if the debconf database has
      info on the default X server; otherwise, display a helpful note
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.postrm:
    - remove /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 on purge
    - remove /etc/X11/X on purge, if and only if it points to the X server
      being purged
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates:
    - set default true on emulate3buttons and zaxismapping
  * debian/xserver-xfree86.prerm: use "message" function, not simple echo
