Hi all, One of the changes happening for Xorg 7.0 is that it will finally become FHS compliant. Currently, it fakes FHS compliancy by creating various symlinks (/usr/include/X11, /usr/bin/X11, /usr/lib/X11) to the appropriate directories in /usr/X11R6. For 7.0, we need to make those symlinks become actual directories. We're currently using the x11-common package to do this, although the XSF is considering unifying this package with xorg-common and naming the single common package xorg-common. Either way, this transition will be done by one of the -common packages.
Because the remainder of the Xorg 7.0 packages will require this change to have taken place, they will have to pre-depend upon an appropriate version of x11-common. As such, I'm writing to the list in accordance with policy. The code to enact this change has been deployed successfully in Ubuntu and should translate just fine to Debian. I'll be uploading packages to experimental shortly to test for this, although I don't recommend anyone use it outside of a chroot until we have a more or less complete X suite available in experimental. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
