Did you try it and did it work? Also, you should of course also update the -base package. Then make the server package depend on xfree86-base (>=4.2.0). > >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. Sure. Luckily, thought a lot of our patches can go away with 4.2.0 now, fine. BTW, you saw I hope that I have already uploaded the sources some days ago to SourceForge, i.e. you can use the same URLs as for the current xfree86-packages (except of course replacing 410 with 420) > >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.

My only concern with adding it to unstable now is that some people *definitly* will go and grab it immediatly. if all works out fine, that is not a problem, but with XFree86 it's very easy to get some annoying problems, and then we get loads of complaints. So maybe first email it to me. Don't forget to change maintainer field to you, though :) Cheers, Max -- ----------------------------------------------- Max Horn Software Developer email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> phone: (+49) 6151-494890 _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
