Sorry - should have checked with you first.

I've fixed this following Martin's suggestion (make
MAKE=/usr/bin/gnumake).

Yes, I can see how it would be more difficult.

Here's how I've done it:

Package: xfree86-server
Version: 4.2.0
Revision: 1
Depends: xfree86-base
Provides: libgl
Conflicts: xfree86-rootless, xfree86, libgl
Replaces: xfree86-rootless

It will replace your xfreee86-rootless install if you have one, and also
provides libgl.

Does this seem reasonable?

BTW:  I've also patched in pthreads support.  I sent Torrey Lyons the
patch for this a month or so ago, and he said it was too late to make it
into 4.2.

I'm testing it right now - if it behaves itself I'll commit the new
packages to unstable by the end of the day so you can try it out.  Or
would you rather I just email you the packages so you can merge in
whatever changes you have made?

Regards,

Jeff
