Bug#206900: X dropped my custom config
Hi Branden and DebianXers, I just rebooted my desktop and discovered my CUSTOM SECTION in XF86Config-4 was gone, and my mouse wasn't doing left-handed goodness anymore. In your reply to Eloy, you tell him to read /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/NEWS.Debian 5 times. The problem is, I don't have this file in my system, and that explains why I didn't remember seeing a NEWS section in the apt-listchanges run which upgraded X. 65541:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/doc$ find -name "NEWS.Debian*" ./libinline-perl/NEWS.Debian.gz ./alsa-base/NEWS.Debian.gz ./dpatch/NEWS.Debian.gz ./epiphany-browser/NEWS.Debian.gz Going back to my specific problem, my old configuration was moved to .dpkg-old and the newly generated one didn't respect my custom section which defined a mouse with 7 buttons. Isn't this a bug? Of the three conditions to not overwrite my configuration file, I think I must have met the "missing checksum" condition, as I was upgrading from -9 to -10. In short, should my configuration be overwritten in my case? Why is NEWS.Debian missing? (Ah, Branden, look at the FAQ, entry "How do I add custom sections to a dexconf generated XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file"; 3 lines after the answer starts there's 8 lines of rubbish.)
