fun with backreferences

The font configuration section of xorg shows a sed that clobbers Bitstream Vera fonts. While DejaVu is clearly preferred, do we want to remove the references to Bitstream? I've been playing around with sed and came up with this: sed -i \ 's,\(^\t\t*\)\(familyBitstream

Libxml2 and Python

2006-05-19 Thread M.Canales.es
Hi In the libxml page we have currently this note: Some packages which utilize libxml2 (such as GNOME Doc Utils) need the Python module installed to function properly. But lbxml2 is a required dependency for GNOME Doc Utils (ScrollKeeper -- libxslt -- libxml2) Based on that, I think that

libdrm autoreconf breaks shared library

2006-05-19 Thread Dan Nicholson
On my system, the autoreconf command is breaking the libtool installation of libdrm.so. The final installed libraries do not have the .so suffix, so they can't be found at link time. Fortunately, nothing has broken because I had the static library installed. Is anyone else seeing this

Looks like xfce is about to become a lot more difficult to write up. The new file manager, Thunar, has this in its README: Thunar depends on the following packages: - perl 5.6 or above - GTK+ 2.6.0 or above - libexo 0.3.1.6 or above - intltool 0.30 or above - libpng12 1.2.0 or above -
