You realize, of course, that to accomodate both groups we'd need two packages. Most Debian installers are going to be glibc-based, and I doubt they can afford to have two libc's on the system. I guess I need to come up with a good way of figuring out how to copy only the needed portions of the build tree for a servers-only compile, without this being unrealiable. It would also be nice if the XFree86 build process could be told to export headers for libraries instead of compiling them as well. A servers-only build compiles Xlibs because the X server needs the X11 header files in the exports directory. Apparently Imake doesn't know how to express "just export the headers, don't really compile the library". If we had that it would really cut down on consumption of time and space. -- G.
