That's all right, I'd have done the same if I were down there in Brazil.
If.

Per our discussions today in IRC, this is now on the SVN trunk.

Yeah, like the NumLock fuckage, already tested, committed to the trunk,
and merged onto the branch.

I agree that those two items have been waiting altogether too long, and
need to be done.
However:
1) I need to know what you want -3 to consist of. Just the NumLock fix
and Indy/Indigo2 debconf fixes, or should we add more to it? We seem
to have gone back and forth a bit on IRC. Let's make a decision.
Once 1) is decided, we'll know whether 2) applies to -3 or -4.
2) There are some other bugfixes I've added to the TODO list that I'd
like to work on. Those that already have patches are particularly
attractive.
Specifically, I'd like to nominate the following:
* #237583: xlibs: BKSL key doesn't work when 'us' is one of multiple layouts;
patch in upstream CVS by 2003-12-18
* Merge Josh Triplett's clean-room reimplementation of post-#187 changes to
XTerm in XFree86 CVS.
* Upgrade XTerm to #190. Check for changes pulled from XFree86 CVS and deal
with them appropriately.
* #236187: xserver-xfree86: [ati/r128] xscreensaver screenhacks lock system
('(EE) R128(0): Idle timed out, resetting engine...') on Rage 128 RE/SG rev 0
+ Apply patch from Dan Jacobowitz.
The above appears to be driving Rage 128 people bonkers.
* #247387: xlibs: Can't type numbers with AltGr with /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/lt
key map
+ Apply patch by Mantas Kriaučiūnas via Vytautas Lukenskas.
* #225526: Fix PCI domains / Mach64 cards on SPARCs running Linux 2.6. Apply
patch from "the Gentoo SPARC folks" -- would be nice to find out who they
are.]
And this one is driving some SPARC people nuts.
* Apply "other half" of SPARC 64-bit avoidance patch to Mesa; see #241331.
* #233839: Move usr/X11R6/man/man3/XDeviceTimeCoord.3x from libx11-dev to
libxi-dev.
I plead especially strongly on this one, as it is my fuckup rather than an
upstream problem, and I very much want to fix it.
...and if Ben Collins can be awakened:
* #245246: Apply hot pokers to Ben Collins until we extract a working patch for
XAA and Render support for the sunffb driver. Mmmm, burning manflesh...
If you could give me your thoughts on each of the above, and work with
me to prioritize all of these items, I'd appreciate also.
Also, please feel free to update the TODO on the trunk to reflect your
thoughts.
