xfree86 4.2.0-0pre1v4 (source) available at the X Strike Force



[Please follow up to debian-x.]

i386 packages are on their way.

We're getting close to something I'd consider acceptable for 4.2.0-1;
this means those of you haven't built 4.2.0 in a while (or ever), like
arm and s390 -- I'd really appreciate it if you'd give this one a try.

Changes:
 xfree86 (4.2.0-0pre1v4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   *** THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL RELEASE.  FEEDBACK SHOULD GO TO
   *** <debian-x@lists.debian.org>.  DO NOT FILE BUGS AGAINST THIS RELEASE WITH
   *** THE DEBIAN BUG TRACKING SYSTEM.  ANY SUCH REPORTS WILL BE CLOSED.
 .
   * Re-generated .orig.tar.gz without the README.DRI and README.DRIcomp files
     under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc; the documents are not licensed
     DFSG-freely.  Sorry for causing the 50 meg hit on those of you interested
     in the orig tarball.  :(
 .
   * patch #000_post_xf-4_2_0: resynced with xf-4_2-branch
     - Set version/date for a 4.2.0.1 snapshot. (David Dawes)
     - Fix i810_free_page() and i830_free_page() for DRI kernel modules so
       that later 2.4.x kernels are supported. (Alan Hourihane)
     - Add missing commas to us_intl XKB symbols file (sync with HEAD). (Paulo
       Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
     - install darwinLib.{rules,tmpl} (David Dawes)
 .
   * patch #001: add DefaultGcc2DebugOpt to OptimizedCDebugFlags for all
     architectures (not sure why upstream doesn't have debugging in the stock
     optimized C "debug" flags...)
   * patch #004: new; don't build the imstt and Amiga framebuffer drivers by
     default for arm and hppa architectures
   * patch #073; deleted; taken care of by xf-4_2-branch (see above)
   * patch #079: new; updated savage driver up to Tim Roberts's version 1.1.23t
     (thanks, Chris Halls!)
   * patch #080: new; minor corrections to the Xlib and Xt manuals (thanks,
     Jochen Voss) (Closes: #159170,#159207,#159209)
   * patch #081: new; Mike Harris's patch for Radeon Mobility and FireGL 7800
     (a.k.a. "LX" chipset) support
   * patch #082: new; patch to ati driver to enable r128 and radeon drivers to
     compile without vgahw layer enabled
   * patch #083: new; patch to i810 driver to enable it to compile when the
     static server is enabled (the i810_outreg_get_addr_name and
     i810_outreg_decode_register functions are not defined anywhere)
   * patch #100: remove patch to atimach64.c because xf86WriteMmioBe() should
     not be directly referenced by driver code -- only via macros
   * patch #101: new; patch from David S. Miller via Ben Collins to fix
     erroneous module loader assumption about all SPARC 4m-MMU-using
     processors supporting v8 instructions (Closes: #111581)
   * patch #400: deleted; it simply undid the now-removed atimach64.c patch
     from patch #100 for the hppa architecture
   * patch #908: don't attempt to do anything with now-nonexistent
     README.DRI{,comp} files (see above)
 .
   * debian/MANIFEST.*: updated
   * debian/control:
     - xlibs Conflicts: xbase-clients (<< 4.2.0) because some clients (such as
       xdpyinfo) in 4.1.0 and earlier versions of xbase-clients are linked
       against libXIE, which is no longer shipped.  xlibs will need to Conflict
       with any other packages that depend on the disappearing PEX5 and XIE
       libraries.
   * debian/copyright: update the "dead pool" to add README.DRI{,comp}
   * debian/rules:
     - when building static debugging server, set optimization level to 0
       instead of 2
   * debian/xserver-xfree86.docs.*: remove README.DRI{,comp}
   * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates:
     - clarify the circumstances under which advanced users can look for the
       XKB directory (Closes: #140228)
     - clarify that the mouse questions don't support more than 5 buttons
       (see #141390)
