I'm using the workaround of manually deleting the problem patch during |
2 |
the build. |

The problem for gentoo that I see is that with the removal of -r1 (and |
5 |
xfree being the only viable alternative is not available either), gentoo |
6 |
does not have a usable desktop for those actually using it in |
7 |
production, so this should be viewed as a serious issue that requires |
8 |
active resolution - just leaving this issue in place until we catch up |
9 |
with upstream means this is going to become a running sore for gentoo. |

We (the users) need a stable, secure, and working X. |
