I expect to make the cutover either when XFree86 4.4.0 hits, or a bit earlier. It'll depend on how soon we can get important things fixed, how many people are using freedesktop.org bits for testing, and how soon we can get XFree86-4-libraries and the servers beaten into shape to live with the new ports. Plus, of course, there are also the bento run(s) necessary to minimize any breakage. It'll also depend on whether enough people are stepping forward to maintain the source in fd.o CVS. As far as other distributions, from what I understand NetBSD's pkgsrc is being moved towards these packages and one of their committers is working in fd.o cvs, gentoo has them in portage, and debian should have packages once DanielS has some time+motivation. I expect the process to only speed up. More help is always appreciated, of course. I've updated my little status doc, http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/xlibs-pre/xlibs-status.txt The ports left to commit are all new extensions that aren't being used by anything yet (as XFree86 doesn't support them, and there doesn't appear to be any motivation by XFree86 developers to do so). I'd like to see those two "not ported" ones finished. I've started on Xt, but got stuck on automake issues as usual. We need someone with clue about locales to take a look at the nls branch of libX11 to see what state it's in and if the additions on that branch are sufficient to match XFree86's libX11. Testing on non-x86 architectures is also needed, of course. Oh, and I will love anyone who gets the Xvesa xserver ported to FreeBSD forever. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org From owner-freebsd-x11@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 22 11:05:57 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A249516A4CE for ; Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:05:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 91F4143D82 for ; Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:04:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@freebsd.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (peter@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id hBMJ3TFR069871 for ; Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:03:29 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@freebsd.org) Received: (from peter@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) id hBMJ3SDq069866 for x11@freebsd.org; Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:03:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@freebsd.org) Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 11:03:28 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <200312221903.hBMJ3SDq069866@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: peter set sender to owner-bugmaster@freebsd.org using -f From: FreeBSD bugmaster To: x11@FreeBSD.org Subject: Current problem reports assigned to you X-BeenThere: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: X11 on FreeBSD -- maintaining and support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2003 19:05:57 -0000 Current FreeBSD problem reports Critical problems Serious problems S Submitted Tracker Resp.
