It builds fine on s390 and all packages are installable.

Thanks,

XFree86 4.1.0-15pre16v1 available for testing

2002-04-09 Thread Branden Robinson 

[Please direct follow-ups to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; thank you.]

Hello,

I am announcing this test release to 4 architecture lists as well as the
Debian X list because this release has fixes important to all of these
architectures.

I have access to PowerPC and IA-64 machines and will be testing builds
on those architectures today (hopefully).

I do, however, need feedback on how well these packages build and work
on ARM and S/390.

Needless to say, these updates are important for the woody release.

You can find these packages at the usual place:

Source: xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-15pre16v1
Urgency: high
Maintainer: Branden Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Closes: 136615 136937 138325 141116 141357 141412 141413 141415 141636
Changes: 
 xfree86 (4.1.0-15pre16v1) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * patch #065: updated comments to point to Debian mailing list discussion of
 this patch so that people can figure out what's going on
   * patch #066: supplementary patch to #065, which should handle the cases
 that #065 does not (thanks, Jack Howarth) (Closes: #141116)
   * patch #067: in the ELF module loader, do not assume that memory returned
 by malloc() is marked executable (needed by forthcoming Linux 2.4.18 for
 IA-64) (thanks, Bdale Garbee and David Mosberger)
   * patch #068: treat errno of ENODEV as non-fatal when trying to access I/O
 ports; based on a patch by Philip Blundell (Closes: #141357)
   * patch #400: resynced with patch #068
   * debian/MANIFEST.s390: updated yet again (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
   * debian/control:
 - xserver-common now declares a versioned conflict against all XFree86 3.x
   X server packages prior to 3.3.6-35, due to the X server wrapper's
   changed expectations about how /etc/X11/X should be handled
   (Closes: #141636)
 - change architecture of x-window-system-core from all to any so that
   all that XWSC_SPECIAL_DEPENDS stuff actually has a chance to work; also
   updated this package's extended description (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
   * debian/rules: add special logic to install README and README.fonts files
 due to apparent bug in upstream Imakefile (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
   * debian/scripts/vars.s390: new variable, NOT_BUILDING_XF86_SERVER, used by
 above debian/rules patch (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
   * debian/xdm.templates.ru: added Russian translation (thanks, Ilgiz
 Kalmetev) (Closes: #136937)
   * debian/xdm.templates.sv: added Swedish translation (thanks, Peter Toneby)
 (Closes: #141413)
   * debian/xserver-common.templates.ru: added Russian translation (thanks,
 Ilgiz Kalmetev) (Closes: #136615)
   * debian/xserver-common.templates.sv: added Swedish translation (thanks,
 Peter Toneby) (Closes: #141415)
   * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates.ru: added Russian translation (thanks,
 Ilgiz Kalmetev) (Closes: #138325)
   * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates.sv: added Swedish translation (thanks,
 Peter Toneby) (Closes: #141412)

 It turns out that this will require a small change to libc6 to make it
 do anything useful.  I'm not sure what Ben's release plans are, so we
 might miss out on this for Woody though I will certainly do my best to
 have it included.
 
 What's the situation with #141392, is there any chance of having that
 keymap added in the next upload?

In v2, currently in preparation.
