Thanks to Joshua Baergen <joshuabaergen@g.o>, the patches for |
2 |
Bugs 79467 and 61940 are incorporated into xorg-x11-6.8.2-r5. This |
3 |
means that the deprecated keyboard driver is neither needed nor built |
4 |
under any circumstances, sunleo patches do not need to be installed by |
5 |
hand, and xaa+correct font rendering are provided for sunffb without the |
6 |
need for patching by hand. |

This version of xorg-x11 is in the portage tree, keyworded ~sparc (well, |
9 |
it is keyworded ~{everything}). However, I have built and installed it |
10 |
on both a Creator (ffb) system (U2) and on an Elite (afb) system (U60). |
11 |
In both cases, it builds, installs, and runs fine without needing any |
12 |
manual intervention. The fixes are present as advertised. |
13 |
|
14 |
Therefore, I'd appreciate sparc testing of this release; if it works |
15 |
well for everyone else, we can keyword the package as stable, and close |
16 |
those bugs once and for all. |

Help and feedback appreciated, |
