What is your problem with my attitude? As said before, my Priority are Our Users and Free Software, see Social Contract. Not personal warfares, no faulty decissions ruled by semi-technical (but personal) problems. This may come as a deep shock to you, but your personal opinions on how Debian can best serve its users and free software are not shared by everyone else in the project. It is revealing that you ascribe differences of opinion to failures of people who disagree with you to abide by the Debian Social Contract. You still fail to see the point. If you keep a recent upstream version back, you do NOT cure the problems of other ports but actually damage the hardware support on mainstream architectures and so harm Debian's reputation. I suggest you have a talk with the Release Manager, then. It's his call to say no new upstream versions when we're in a freeze. You may also want to speak with the Stable Release Manager and determine under what circumstances he would allow a new upstream version of XFree86 into a point release of Debian 3.0. And, please, next time when you make a bad comparison, find an example that is less ridiculous. Knoppix has UTF-8 fonts, and there are much more non-latin1 using people than Americans may think. Irrelevant. Is Knoppix's XFree86 4.2.1 faster at loading the UTF-8 fonts than Debian's XFree86 4.2.1 is? If so, I detect an opportunity for someone to create a patch and file a wishlist bug. Alternatively, you can eschew the collaborative process altogether, switch to Knoppix exclusively, and tell everyone who'll listen to you to do the same. -- G.

Branden Did the IA-64 toolchain in unstable recently change to Branden define the _LP64 symbol? It appears to be a gcc-3.2 feature: gcc-2.96 defines __LP64__ and gcc-3.2 adds _LP64 on top of that.

Bug#178496: X server module loading broken on Alpha due to gcc 3.2's new relocation type
Hi, upstream contains a patch. You can retrieve it with cvs diff -r1.45 -r1.46 programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader/elfloader.c I'll test it now, but that'll take some time... -- Falk

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Can you please install xserver-xfree86-dbg, attach to the server when it's spewing this stuff, and provide a backtrace? That won't help. The debuggable XFree86 X server in xserver-xfree86-dbg is also monolithic, and does not use the module loader. The good news is that this means that xserver-xfree86-dbg will probably just plain work. -- G.

What is your problem with my attitude? As said before, my Priority are Our Users and Free Software, see Social Contract. Not personal warfares, no faulty decissions ruled by semi-technical (but personal) problems. This may come as a deep shock to you, but your personal opinions on how Debian can best serve its users and free software are not shared by everyone else in the project. It is revealing that you ascribe differences of opinion to failures of people who disagree with you to abide by the Debian Social Contract. You still fail to see the point. If you keep a recent upstream version back, you do NOT cure the problems of other ports but actually damage the hardware support on mainstream architectures and so harm Debian's reputation. I suggest you have a talk with the Release Manager, then. It's his call to say no new upstream versions when we're in a freeze. You may also want to speak with the Stable Release Manager and determine under what circumstances he would allow a new upstream version of XFree86 into a point release of Debian 3.0. And, please, next time when you make a bad comparison, find an example that is less ridiculous. Knoppix has UTF-8 fonts, and there are much more non-latin1 using people than Americans may think. Irrelevant. Is Knoppix's XFree86 4.2.1 faster at loading the UTF-8 fonts than Debian's XFree86 4.2.1 is? If so, I detect an opportunity for someone to create a patch and file a wishlist bug. Alternatively, you can eschew the collaborative process altogether, switch to Knoppix exclusively, and tell everyone who'll listen to you to do the same. -- G.

Bug#178289: xfree86_4.2.1-5(unstable/ia64): FTBFS: Unknown architecture
[debian-ia64: I do not subscribe to this list] On Fri, Jan 24, 2003 at 07:30:43PM -0800, David Mosberger wrote: If you asked me, this has Dave Miller's name written all over it... ;-) Hmmm. :) The default shared objects on sparc boxes tend to be 32-bit objects, so the sparcv9 postfix is needed to explicitly select the 64-bit shared objects. None of that is needed for ia64. This seems like some awfully nasty intrustion of environmental issues into code where such things really don't belong. Branden Did the IA-64 toolchain in unstable recently change to Branden define the _LP64 symbol? It appears to be a gcc-3.2 feature: gcc-2.96 defines __LP64__ and gcc-3.2 adds _LP64 on top of that. Okay. It's possible that this has since been fixed in XFree86 CVS HEAD, then. I'll check. -- G.
