 Anybody want to volunteer to make one? All it needs to contain is an

I can add a script to build such a thing when the snapshots are being 
made. But what's the purpose of such a extras package? Excluding the 
driver modules the X server in the DRI CVS isn't changed except when is a 
new X release.

Re: [Dri-devel] Extras package

The idea was that people who don't have XFree86 4.1 or later can just
use the Extras package to upgrade their X server, instead of upgrading
all of X.

This worked pretty well in the past for people who had version problems
with the X server being too old for the binary package.
