The xorg-clients approach had one big downside: somehow the xorg 6.9 apps didn't like the 7.0 libs and the changed layout in it. After looking at fedora, I decided to group programs that belong to eachother and build them from the autotooled .tar.bz2 files. The reason for keeping xorg-clients is because the packages have dependencies to it all over the place. It is a dummy package containing some dependencies at this moment, nothing more. The mesa applications were missing in action after committing the xorg-clients change to testing. I found out these applications were located in MesaDemos, so I added them to the repositories as standaline application. There's no need to have them, so it's not a dependency for other things. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
