[blfs-dev] Old files
After running across the SVN server page, I gave the server a minor workout tonight... cd ~/LFS/BLFS/BOOK for file in `find . -name *.xml | sed '/\.svn/d' | sed '/stylesheets/d'` do svn info $file svninfolist.txt done for year in 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 do echo ## Last updated in $year old-files.txt grep -B 11 -A 1 Last Changed Date: $year svninfolist.txt | grep ^Path | sed 's@Path: @@' old-files.txt echo old-files.txt done The results are interesting, very good, not unexpected! I've omitted the *795* pages that have been updated over the past 5 months!

[blfs-dev] Fwd: [ANNOUNCE] X11R7.7
Yay, finally! Original Message Subject: [ANNOUNCE] X11R7.7 Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:36:14 -0700 From: Alan Coopersmith alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Reply-To: x...@lists.freedesktop.org, X.Org Users x...@lists.x.org To: xorg-annou...@lists.x.org, X.Org Users x...@lists.x.org, X.Org Development xorg-de...@lists.x.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The X.Org Foundation and the global community of X.Org developers announce the release of X11R7.7 - Release 7.7 of the X Window System, Version 11. This release is the eighth modular release of the X Window System. The next full release will be X11R7.8 and may happen in 2013. This release is part of our celebration of 25 years of X11, recognizing the 25th anniversary of X Window System Version 11, Release 1 (X11R1) on September 15, 1987. We will continue this celebration later this year at the X.Org Developer Conference, hosted by SuSE in Nürnberg, Germany on September 19-21 (details on http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2012/ ). X11R7.7 supports Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X, Microsoft Windows and GNU Hurd systems. It incorporates both new features and stability and correctness fixes, including support for reporting multi-touch events from touchpads and touchscreens which can report input from more than one finger at a time, smoother scrolling from scroll wheels, better cross referencing formatting of the documentation, pointer barriers to control cursor movement, and synchronization fences to coordinate between X and other rendering engines such as OpenGL. The full source code is free to use, modify and redistribute, under permissive open source licenses, and is available now from http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/ and mirrors worldwide. For more information on the X Window System, including how to get involved with development, please see http://www.x.org. The X.Org Foundation thanks all those who contributed in some way to this release, and has attempted to provide a comprehensive list to credit everyone in the Release Notes. (Apologies to anyone we missed, as a list this large had to be put together via scripting, and mistakes may have crept in.) __ Summary of new features in X11R7.7 This is a sampling of the new features in X11R7.7. ● Multi-touch events are now supported for touchpads and touchscreens which can report position information on more than one finger providing input at the same time, such as found on many tablets and recent laptops. These are exposed by Xorg server 1.12 and later via the Xinput extension version 2.2. ● Additional Xinput extension features were introduced in version 2.1, as supported in Xorg server 1.11, including allowing clients to track raw events from input devices, additional detail in scrolling events so that clients may perform smoother scrolling, and additional constants in the Xlib-based libXi API. ● More progress has been made on the X.Org Documentation modernization - the rest of the library and protocol specifications have been converted to DocBook XML from the variety of formats they were previously in, and support for cross-linking between documents hase been added. On most systems these documents will be installed under /usr/share/doc/. They are also posted on the X.Org website at http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/ ● Fence objects are now available in Version 3.1 of the Synchronization (“Sync”) extension. These allow clients to create a object that is either in “triggered” or “not-triggered” state, and to perform actions when the object becomes triggered. When a client requests a fence be triggered, the X server will first complete all rendering from previous requests that affects resources owned by the fence's screen before changing the state, so that clients may synchronize with such rendering. Support for these has been added to both the libxcb-sync and libXext API's. ● Pointer barriers were added by X Fixes extension Version 5.0. Compositing managers and desktop environments may have UI elements in particular screen locations such that for a single-headed display they correspond to easy targets, for example, the top left corner. For a multi-headed environment these corners should still be semi-impermeable. Pointer barriers allow the application to define additional constraint on cursor motion so that these areas behave as expected even in the face of multiple displays. ● The XCB libraries have begun adding support for the GLX and XKB extensions. This work is not yet complete in this release, and not all of the functionality available through these extensions is accessibile via the XCB APIs. Some of this effort was funded by past Google Summer of Code projects. A more complete list of changes

The configure command has --enable-pulse-java. When I ran it, it didn't seem to complain. However, the explanations say '--enable-pulse-audio' ^ BTW, I'll be glad to fix any of these if you want. Just confirm what's right. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
