[PATCH] xlibmesa-drm-src: divert original kernel modules out of the way
I'm experimenting with XFree86 4.3.0-0pre1v4 and I installed the xlibmesa-drm-src package to get OpenGL working on my Radeon. There's one problem though: dpkg complains loudly because the new DRM modules would overwrite the old kernel modules, so either one rebuilds his kernel without old DRM modules or he has to --force installation. This patch solves the problem by diverting the old modules out of the way, to a directory called /lib/modules/$(KVERS)_diversions. It works for me, but it's really just a quick hack: for example, I preprocess the preinst and postrm scripts with sed instead of m4 because I know nothing about m4 and I couldn't get it to work. I hope the idea is fine though. -- Ciao, Flavio Stanchina Trento - Italy diff -urN xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/changelog.m4 xlibmesa-drm/debian/changelog.m4 --- xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/changelog.m4 2003-07-31 10:24:21.0 +0200 +++ xlibmesa-drm/debian/changelog.m42003-11-06 21:53:01.0 +0100 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ xlibmesa-drm-module-KVERS (4.3.0-0pre1v1+KDREV) unstable; urgency=low * Built from xlibmesa-drm-src. +- Patched to divert original kernel modules out of the way. -- KMAINT KEMAIL DEBDATE diff -urN xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/control.m4 xlibmesa-drm/debian/control.m4 --- xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/control.m4 2003-07-31 10:24:21.0 +0200 +++ xlibmesa-drm/debian/control.m4 2003-11-06 22:00:46.0 +0100 @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ +Source: xlibmesa-drm-module-KVERS Section: graphics Priority: extra Maintainer: KMAINT KEMAIL diff -urN xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/postrm.in xlibmesa-drm/debian/postrm.in --- xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/postrm.in 1970-01-01 01:00:00.0 +0100 +++ xlibmesa-drm/debian/postrm.in 2003-11-08 16:57:45.0 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +#!/bin/sh + +set -e + +PACKAGE='[EMAIL PROTECTED]@' +MODULES='gamma.o i810.o i830.o mga.o r128.o radeon.o tdfx.o' +MODULE_DIR='/lib/modules/@KVERS@/kernel/drivers/char/drm' +DIVERT_DIR='/lib/modules/@[EMAIL PROTECTED]' + +case $1 in +remove) + for module in $MODULES; do + dpkg-divert --remove --package $PACKAGE \ + --divert $DIVERT_DIR/$module \ + --rename $MODULE_DIR/$module + done + + if [ -d $DIVERT_DIR ]; then + rmdir $DIVERT_DIR || true + fi +;; + +purge|upgrade|failed-upgrade|abort-install|abort-upgrade|disappear) +;; + +*) +echo postrm called with unknown argument \`$1' 2 +exit 0 +;; +esac + +#DEBHELPER# + diff -urN xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/preinst.in xlibmesa-drm/debian/preinst.in --- xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/preinst.in 1970-01-01 01:00:00.0 +0100 +++ xlibmesa-drm/debian/preinst.in 2003-11-08 16:57:45.0 +0100 @@ -0,0 +1,36 @@ +#!/bin/sh + +set -e + +PACKAGE='[EMAIL PROTECTED]@' +MODULES='gamma.o i810.o i830.o mga.o r128.o radeon.o tdfx.o' +MODULE_DIR='/lib/modules/@KVERS@/kernel/drivers/char/drm' +DIVERT_DIR='/lib/modules/@[EMAIL PROTECTED]' + +case $1 in +install) + if [ ! -d $DIVERT_DIR ]; then + mkdir -p $DIVERT_DIR || true + fi + + for module in $MODULES; do + dpkg-divert --add --package $PACKAGE \ + --divert $DIVERT_DIR/$module \ + --rename $MODULE_DIR/$module + done +;; + +upgrade) +;; + +abort-upgrade) +;; + +*) +echo preinst called with unknown argument \`$1' 2 +exit 0 +;; +esac + +#DEBHELPER# + diff -urN xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/rules xlibmesa-drm/debian/rules --- xlibmesa-drm.orig/debian/rules 2003-07-31 10:24:21.0 +0200 +++ xlibmesa-drm/debian/rules 2003-11-08 17:05:01.0 +0100 @@ -10,6 +10,12 @@ M4 = m4 M4DEFINES = -DKVERS=$(KVERS) -DKSRC=$(KSRC) -DKEMAIL=$(KEMAIL) -DKMAINT=$(KMAINT) -DKDREV=$(KDREV) -DDEBDATE=$(shell date -R) +%: %.m4 + $(M4) $(M4DEFINES) $ $@ + +%: %.in + sed -e 's/@KVERS@/$(KVERS)/g' $ $@ + # We are called from make-kpkg through one of the targets kdist, # kdist_configure, kdist_changes or kdist_image # When called from make-kpkg we have available: @@ -22,7 +28,7 @@ MODULE_DIR = debian/tmp/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ configure: configure-stamp -configure-stamp: debian/control debian/changelog +configure-stamp: debian/control debian/changelog debian/preinst debian/postrm touch $@ build: build-stamp @@ -60,11 +66,11 @@ kdist_clean: clean -debian/control: debian/control.m4 - $(M4) $(M4DEFINES) debian/control.m4 $@ +debian/control : debian/control.m4 +debian/changelog : debian/changelog.m4 -debian/changelog: debian/changelog.m4 - $(M4) $(M4DEFINES) debian/changelog.m4 $@ +debian/preinst : debian/preinst.in +debian/postrm: debian/postrm.in .PHONY: build install configure

Bug#219551: Unicode xterms should do some kind of substitution for missing characters
#include hallo.h * Cameron Patrick [Fri, Nov 07 2003, 05:31:12PM]: Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4 Many TrueType fonts don't have both a hyphen (0x2010) and a minus sign (0x2212); however, groff (and thus man pages) differentiates between the two in UTF-8 locales. This results in lots of man pages displaying ugly boxes where hyphens should be in a uxterm, but displaying fine on a 'normal' xterm where there is no distinction between the two characters. That's not a problem with the certain terminal emulator, that is a problem with groff syntax not understood by many authors. Xterm works just fine as UTF-8 terminal as well as mlterm/pterm/konsole/gnome-terminal but the manpages simply specify the wrong char. It was promised that groff will recode hyphen to minus sign in some future version (maybe as an option) to work around broken manpages. MfG, Eduard.

Bug#218630: x-terminal-emulator manpage should point to xterm(1x)
Package: xterm Version: 4.2.1-13 Severity: minor Followup-For: Bug #218630 The original xterm manpage can still be accessed as man 1x xterm. The uxterm page should at the very least mention xterm(1x) and not xterm(1). Though even that might be confusing for a user who hasn't used man extensively, it at least resolves the problem where xterm(1) literally points you back to xterm(1). -Peff

[4.3.0-0pre1v4] Server crashes - repeatable
XEmacs 21, latest version from unstable, with gnuplot-mode; turn XEmacs toolbars off from the options menu, turn balloon-help mode on (M-x customize-apropos, balloon), but don't turn off the gnuplot toolbar; leave it at it's default configuration. Open a file and set it to gnuplot-mode, then write in a command for gnuplot and highlight it. Fly the mouse pointer over the region toolbar button, and the X server crashes, every time, right when the balloon-help window posts. I am using the latest sawfish from unstable also. I do not know how to find the crash. If you teach me how to do that I will be able to provide more information in the future when things like this occur. How can I observe which program / library the crash occurs in? Any HOWTO out there I should know about or someone should write?
