Hello Xorg developers,
While furthering Debian's multiarch capabilities I ran into the issue
that an xdmcp.txt generated from xdmcp.xml (in libxdmcp) would be
dependent on the version of xorg-sgml-doctools. Due to the
implementation of multiarch, the difference in file content breaks the
installation of libxdmcp. I am therefore proposing to drop the use of
&fullrelvers; in xdmcp.xml (see attached patch). Despite being motivated
by a technical constraint in Debian, this change makes sense
conceptually as well. The value of &fullrelvers; is independent of the
version of libxdmcp. I would not expect the version of a different tool
to show up in the header of the documentation for libxdmcp. I hope that
this makes sense to you as well. Please Cc me in your replies.
This is leftover from the old X11R6 monolithic releases, when everything
was released as one giant wad, and the &fullrelvers; was the version of
that wad. It's stayed around mainly because we've had no reason to drop
it until now.
Since we've not even done a X11R7 katamari release in years, it's pretty
meaningless today, so I've pushed your suggested fix to git master for
libXdmcp:
To ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/lib/libXdmcp
b10f382..5021b93 master -> master
Thank you for your patch.
