I just committed it with KEYWORDS="-*" because I need some brave
testers. I already tested every possibility of which I could think of
version changes resulting in an upgrade to 6.8.1.903 and things seem to
be working fine now.

The most significant change is that it migrates all of /usr/X11R6 to
/usr and symlinks /usr/X11R6 -> /usr.

I have installed this release candidate on a couple sparc systems, and note the following:

1. (Previously noted) A couple font directories (cyrillic, ukr) were
   never made into symbolic links before, and right now they must be
   removed by hand;
2. (Previously noted) A couple orphan symbolic links:
   a. /usr/include/X11/X11 --> ../X11R6/include/X11
   b. /usr/include/GL/GL   --> ../X11R6/include/GL (I think; I removed it
      before writing this note.)
3. For some reason, /usr/include/GL/glu.h does not get installed (it is
   not in /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903/image).  With version
   6.8.1.902, it is in the image directory and is installed. The problem
   seems to be that with ...903, nothing which started in
   /usr/X11R6/include/GL is installed, but only files from
   opengl/xorg-x11.
   So, for example, GL/glext.h is present (it is in both GL/include and
   in opengl/xorg-x11/include originally), but GL/glu.h is not installed
   because it is only in include/GL to begin with.

   This might be sparc only; I cannot verify.

   I note that for one install, this file (glu.h) was automatically
   moved to /usr/include/GL/glu.h, but apparently from
   /usr/X11R6/include/GL, because it is definitely not in the image
   for .903.

4. (Sparc only) For this test, I forced the sunffb/xaa patch to
   be installed unconditionally because at some point it will be
   part of the mainstream patch set.  This is just a one-line
   change to the ebuild: This, for anyone interested:

- --- xorg-x11-6.8.1.903.ebuild-  2005-02-02 17:54:13.000000000 +0000
+++ xorg-x11-6.8.1.903.ebuild   2005-02-02 17:55:08.000000000 +0000

        epatch ${PATCHDIR}
+       epatch $(FILESDIR)/092_Xserver_sunffb_xaa_extension.diff
        cd ${S}
 }

Otherwise, everything seems fine.  Except for poine -3.-, nothing
really troubling.  I haven't figured out what is going on with the
GL include files yet, but the libraries seem to be OK.

Bookkeeping notes:
=================
a. On both systems, I use x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4

b. Use flags for the build/install:
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 (-3dfx) (-3dnow) +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened - -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) - -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv [1]


Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
 [1] /usr/local/portage

c. This is two installs from one build: First install was from
   emerge -buv xorg-x11;
   Second from 'emerge -kuv xorg-x11'

d. Both systems use sunffb graphics driver; one for Elite3d-m3, one for
   Creator3D, series 2 (ffb2+).

e. This note was written on U2-SMP (ffb2+) running xorg-x11-6.8.1.903
   (modified by hand as suggested above).


Hope this helps, Regards,
