#2120: External packages used in Xorg-7.x
---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Type: task | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.2
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords: xorg modular
---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
xterm, MesaLib, libdrm and rman are all external packages developed
outside of Xorg. Where these are shipped with the tarballs for the
monolithis Xorg-6 and XFree86, they are not provided for the Xorg-7.x
releases.
The plan is to move these packages out of the Xorg-7 chapter and into more
general chapters. xterm and rman will be in general utilities, MesaLib
will be in X libraries, and libdrm will be in general libraries.
Additionally, a note in the form of an xinclude will be added to the top
of these 4 packages notifying the user that they should only be built if
you are using Xorg-7 and they are provided by Xorg-6 and XFree86.
Additionally, xterm will be updated to the current 218 version which will
fix the security vulnerability in #2100.
Please speak up if this plan doesn't work for you.
