I have upgraded all the prototype, pkginfo.tmpl and build script files to the then current values on Sept 30th 2007. Also the license headers. I still have to go through all the Makefiles at some point in the future. But they are obviously not all that important, as no customer gets to ever see them (as they are not part of any pkg, except we would also offer a src snapshot in pkgadd format, which we possibly should do, too). > I was actually planning to change it > to "11" so that it wasn't confused with the Xorg version number, since they > aren't tied together, especially with the current Solaris package/patch > system. > (Perhaps the IPS system will rectify this, so we don't have situations like we > Okay, that will work. > do now on Solaris 10, where the package versions are 6.8.0, but contain Xorg > 7.2, since the package versions don't change after the release ships and all > further updates move to patches.) > Yeah.

Yup, the Non-sun sources don't properly work on SPARC (tested with Type 6 USB and MiniDIN6 kbds, while they do work on the Tadpole's embedded kbd, for some strange reason. Mounting a Sun-provided /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb over instantly made it work again on the then running test systems U60, U30, SB100). Sun's original mapfile alone did not do the trick. > The pkgdefs I've promised to publish are for the packages like SUNWxwplt, > so you can see what's left to replace. > > -- Regards %martin
