Joel has mostly-working patches for 4.1.x, at this stage; most of the reason that they're not in a .deb is that I need Branden's advice on some esoterica about X itself and what it builds. I agree with his priorities, however - which means that most likely, you'll actually see some official stuff for 4.2.0 (once he releases the packages for it and I can see how much is broken in between - but most of the patches for *BSD aren't in areas that seem likely to change, unlike, say, GCC). On a side note - work has been insane, and thus, very little packaging work has gotton done recently. I don't really know if, or when, this will change (and if I change jobs, I lose my build machine entirely, so...) -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://users.lightbearer.com/lucifer/
