Okay, great. > 1: I'd really like Branden to agree to the naming scheme. One tweak. I think the package names should be exactly as my X package names, with "-dri" appended. Even for the -dev packages. So, e.g., xlibmesa-dev-dri. Also, for the sake of sheer symmetry I don't see why you can't use the pathnames XFree86-dri and modules-dri. > 2: Until Branden packages 4.0.3 or later I need to provide the > XFree86.dri, and need to figure out the proper way to set > /etc/X11/Xserver XFree86.dri. > (Branden, can you point this out please? It should be simple.) Actually, it probably isn't. You need to do something akin to a global-search and replace in debconf template names in the templates, config, and other maintainer scripts, replacing "xserver-xfree86" with "xserver-xfree86-dri". Also, you need to be sure that all references to "/usr/.../XFree86" in these files change to "XFree86-dri". > 3: The XF86Config-4 needs to have two lines[1] added so X will search > the modules.dri directory then the modules directory, I'll probably > leave this up to the user for now. Yes, let's do that. Otherwise I have to hack dexconf. You can use my message() shell function in the postinst to tell the user to do this. > As soon as those three have been addressed I'll put .debs up somewhere > aptable for people to test. > > Zephaniah E.

Your xserver-xfree86-dri package should provide a superset of the modules that my xserver-xfree86 package does. -- G.
