Hello X Strike Force, X in Debian is really getting obsolete. Yeah, I know, that XFree 4.3 will ship with sarge, but nobody knows when sarge will be released anyway. Post-sarge plans to get Xorg into Debian seem to be quite far away as current state of Xorg packaging shows. I know, that it's extremely difficult to package X for Debian mostly because of the number of architectures it needs to be ported to (I've been following the process with xf4.3 closely). But currently situation is different. Ubuntu has great packages of the lastest Xorg release. Ubuntu packages are definitely not an option for sid (as sarge release is so [?] close and only 4 archs are supported), but, IMHO, they would be quite OK for experimetal and a great base for Debian to start work on Xorg. But this is not happening. So the question comes up: what is so wrong with Xorg packages from Ubuntu?
Please understand me right, XFree86 4.3 works great here, no stability problems, but ppl on desktops want to be more up-to-date, they want new features (such as composite extension). Debian should benefit from Ubuntu as Ubuntu benefits from Debian. Both distros are about Free Software, aren't they? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
