Ok, status update: the common-packages are uploaded (xorg-common is in NEW) and tonight I uploaded the protocol headers, which are also sitting in NEW. Tomorrow I'm going to get started on the libs, which are sitting waiting for me to hand-hold their builds in a chroot. Also, for those not following -devel, I sent a message discussing the transition that needs to take place for changing the /usr/include/X11, /usr/lib/X11, and /usr/share/X11 symlinks in to proper directories (handled by the x11-common package currently). Most of the questions have been dealt with and I need to investigate small things like why fonts are installed to /usr/lib/X11 rather than /usr/share/X11. On the whole though, the major objections seem to be dealt with so we can keep pushing forward. I still need to put together a mail about the mesa transition, but I don't want to put another X-related transition in the hands of the release team until xlibs-dev is over with. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
