Re: XFree86 3.2 is available
XFree 3.2 will not be realeased in 1.2. However it should be uploaded into unstable (bo) very soon so if you want to use it you will be able to download it. The reason it is not going to be included is that the maintainer didn't think that it would be fit to go out with 11.2 b/c he was going to a new packaging scheme and he wants to make sure everything works.

It's not Debian who are restricting non-free. It's the authors of the programs. Some of them don't want people to put their software on a CD-ROM and sell it. InfoMagic probably doesn't want to go through all the programs in non-free and check what they can or can't put on their disks. -- Please read http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html before mailing me.

Re: XFree86 3.2 is available
Regarding XFree 3.2, it will be in unstable before 1.2 is released. I guess it is appropriate to recommend that CD manufacturers include the 27 XFree82 3.2 packages from unstable on their CDs along with the 3.1 version that will be in the release. When I write the release notes for CD manufacturers, I'll put that in. Thanks Bruce -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: XFree86 3.2 is available
XFree86 3.2 will appear in the unstable distribution, and you'll be able to install it from there. We unfortunately could not make the release schedule for 1.2 with it included.
