Joel has mostly-working patches for 4.1.x, at this stage; most of the
reason that they're not in a .deb is that I need Branden's advice on some
esoterica about X itself and what it builds. I agree with his priorities,
however - which means that most likely, you'll actually see some official
stuff for 4.2.0 (once he releases the packages for it and I can see how
much is broken in between - but most of the patches for *BSD aren't in
areas that seem likely to change, unlike, say, GCC).
On a side note - work has been insane, and thus, very little packaging work
has gotton done recently. I don't really know if, or when, this will change
(and if I change jobs, I lose my build machine entirely, so...)
