make our own #define, DebianGccFlags - bump TclLib and TkLib up to version 8.2 * patch #000d: use DebianGccFlags for all arches * patch #001a-05: removed, now upstream (was SPARC patch for scanpci.c) * patch #001d: split card.tcl from #001c * patch #008[abc]: split from #008 * patch #008c: one-line mod from Ben Collins to get it compiling on SPARC again * patch #009: allow single-digit screen numbers after the display number when handing one to startx (Closes: #52286) * patch #010c: patch the termcap and terminfo files to include the xterm-debian terminal description; these aren't shipped but it's a good way to keep track of them (need to send to ncurses and termcap-compat package maintainers) * patch #010d: undef __OPTIMIZE__ on Alpha, there is an aggravating bug in cpp * patch #021: new; fix for a Czech locale alias from Petr Cech (Closes: #52618) * patch #022: new: mention that Linux systems also have a hostname field in the utmp file (Closes: #10002) * removed patches: - the "egcs/Netscape" bug workaround; according to Debian Netscape package maintainer, it doesn't actually accomplish anything - Portuguese XKB symbol modifications, now upstream - xkbcomp symlink security fix, now upstream * debian/control: - make rstart architecture "all" since it is arch-independent - dark finally convinced me to stop taking advantage of dpkg's tolerance for multi-line package relationship fields - james, gorgo, and doogie bullied me into weakening the recommendation of xlib6g-dev and xlib6-altdev on xmanpages to a suggestion - tried to clarify the static/shared library situtation in the descriptions of xlib6g-dev and xlib6-altdev a bit more - add Build-Depends - removed Meta-package tag from xbase control data; it's an experiment of Culus's that never went anywhere - remove twm's recommendation of xterm (not necessary now that twm supports the Debian menu system) - made xbase-clients description more readable (Closes: #54548) - added justifications to several package descriptions for conflicts, replaces, provides, and non-shlibs dependencies, if I felt they might be non-obvious - xserver-common conflicts with xbase-clients versions older than 3.3.6-1; some change seems to have been made to xinit lately that prevents long delays when trying to start the X server (Closes: #53154) - remove xterm's dependency on ncurses-base, which does not exist anymore * debian/create-arch-xterm: - ship text version of HTML changelog - ship termcap and terminfo source files * debian/create-indep-rstart: renamed from create-arch-rstart * debian/rules: - add loud warning if uid is zero when invoking build-old rule - get rid of sourcedep-info stuff in environment rule * debian/setperms: create-arch-rstart -> create-indep-rstart * debian/sourcedep-info: deleted, superseded by Build-Depends * debian/twm/menu-method: fix for menu entries that use escaped quotation marks (thanks, Joey Hess) (Closes: #54078) * debian/twm/postinst: update alternative priority to 40 * debian/xbase-clients/menu: add "Clocks" hints to the clock-related menu entries (thanks, Chris Waters) (Closes: #51990) * debian/xdm/Xservers: add "-deferglyphs 16" to the default X server line (Closes: #47158) * debian/xdm/Xsetup_0: load system Xmodmap file before presenting login widget (Closes: #11936) * debian/xdm/preinst: if installing, touch /etc/xdm.update-rc.d for use in postinst * debian/xdm/postinst: only call update-rc.d if /etc/xdm.update-rc.d exists, so users can muck with the symlinks if they want to (Closes: #50637) * debian/xdm/xdm.options: turn off run-xconsole as the default (Closes: #40745) * debian/xdm/xdm.options.5: document the change to the default xdm.options its justification * debian/xfree86-common/XFree86-FAQ.html: updated version * debian/xterm/README.Debian: - correct error (Closes: #52877) - added some info about the new xterm/xterm-xfree86/xterm-debian situation * debian/xterm/postinst: work around packaging screwup in 3.3.5-2 (gotta deregister documentation with install-docs -r BEFORE managing the share/doc symlink business, or dhelp leaves its boogers around) (Closes: #50918) Files: 660ccfead8b5505ec898e9827b279d34 1224 x11 optional xfree86-1_3.3.6-1.dsc c4669bc60748021d9432e709286f6e4f 17292723 x11 optional xfree86-1_3.3.6.orig.tar.gz 43c895a74357239881d2ad5fc4bd8717 499438 x11 optional xfree86-1_3.3.6-1.diff.gz 09ce293210c3db428bdd5764d28d7d98 55958 x11 optional rstartd_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 9bc3583e1a44fb1a9f03f71bb33b92fe 129322 x11 optional twm_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 212ecc063c6c966819d845df28c2b834 964276 x11 optional xbase-clients_3.3.6-1_i386.deb fbc16d2580b98a4ee053aa0dddf3d76c 115420 x11 optional xdm_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 477ac3c19fbb0f33920a0fd0f00593a5 473362 x11 optional xext_3.3.6-1_i386.deb cfe50992c9907f257bd6e30f661dfa12 227468 x11 optional xf86setup_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 90f38dc203dd2f9775dd205428fb09fc 193680 x11 optional xfs_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 1926693e08c3a7574a81951998052d18 983270 x11 standard xlib6g_3.3.6-1_i386.deb f276cee21f35d4d27020bc440dc21656 1578794 x11 optional xlib6g-dev_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 6c9b5f5c33bf945fcd1fc22fe3c76f5e 15100850 x11 optional xlib6g-static_3.3.6-1_i386.deb c63e1ca8b6d46b34386c2525165d976e 106802 mail extra xmh_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 36734f5d96e0356c1cb73464daadc4a0 499880 x11 optional xnest_3.3.6-1_i386.deb aa526b0e82f1808a8b38893b574764b5 134824 x11 optional xproxy_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 5f5698d825e30cb819254c1e3a3ec686 1078872 x11 optional xprt_3.3.6-1_i386.deb a57f3e6b27b129ecf83edc7baf228369 430832 x11 optional xserver-common_3.3.6-1_i386.deb ca864c5d0a2db0b638a7aa0c2792e939 903880 x11 optional xserver-3dlabs_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 99917b12021c48ef05aa73cf14e758c2 724450 x11 optional xserver-8514_3.3.6-1_i386.deb c782203e05039a5b4a92d480b0fb1ba1 798618 x11 optional xserver-agx_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 770058d4a5c68061cda704840cea531b 829078 x11 optional xserver-fbdev_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 89890c34cb72309821238a51a22c1fff 893496 x11 optional xserver-i128_3.3.6-1_i386.deb fe7c2edffa4bcdc0bb727f893a792c9d 785788 x11 optional xserver-mach32_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 8b2fbb64a10882e727b598b121ed9484 831876 x11 optional xserver-mach64_3.3.6-1_i386.deb c7d63de3a0d2db47483f48e9abc2cd8e 727854 x11 optional xserver-mach8_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 71b3f774cd0bdd518de6f10d2d6c66cd 784888 x11 optional xserver-mono_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 569567a969fd5c9bb458fb477382b201 807046 x11 optional xserver-p9000_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 0520791256edc282052f79ab287bb7ae 990518 x11 optional xserver-s3_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 92f99d85f53fffefacbf907a57a69aa9 890254 x11 optional xserver-s3v_3.3.6-1_i386.deb b4ab4dde8da265e8403116d54a6d0571 1321526 x11 optional xserver-svga_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 6ec4c19bc1343840285255cb378c99bf 794364 x11 optional xserver-vga16_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 8f57efd60919632de9b69ca0a7f513ad 741022 x11 optional xserver-w32_3.3.6-1_i386.deb c7d140fbbd79e405edc4a7bbaeb59115 88666 x11 optional xsm_3.3.6-1_i386.deb e24f5ab67a3a23154b60ccc1ea499980 248410 x11 optional xterm_3.3.6-1_i386.deb f3303008b91aa0954a02be52bc3d1dfa 1062318 x11 optional xvfb_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 19534186fd344fc55b2bf35e01873e0b 45610 x11 optional rstart_3.3.6-1_all.deb 3993aa613b4c93f1669653437d4e4aaf 44716 oldlibs extra xbase_3.3.6-1_all.deb fe1daa448dacc50adfa1ba0c0f0907dc 278786 x11 standard xfree86-common_3.3.6-1_all.deb 7020c680b6776b697ef8fb6cc080b231 779068 oldlibs optional xlib6_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 65644acc48498e3ac143e21e52d8a49b 1326610 oldlibs optional xlib6-altdev_3.3.6-1_i386.deb 8159c7b248e69e0f740d876eaf26320c 13638434 oldlibs optional xlib6-static_3.3.6-1_i386.deb -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjh73BAACgkQ6kxmHytGonzkcACfSyVyv6ZrGUvlwTj/CpltdD3a i7cAnRf+yYkZixX+C1KBHJj3wjHnZVt5 =qXz/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
