In -r4 (previously -r2), we've moved /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib and |
2 |
created a symlink. This obviously results in some significant changes. |
3 |
|
4 |
6.8.0-r4 is hard-masked. It will take a little work to emerge. If you |
5 |
can't figure out how to test it, I'd prefer that you don't test it for |
6 |
now. |

|

It adds some new USE flags that most of you will want to enable, |
9 |
including: font-server, opengl, truetype-fonts, type1-fonts and xv. They |
10 |
are all described in /usr/portage/profiles/use.* so I won't describe |
11 |
them again. I will be adding most of these flags to the defaults in |
12 |
profiles, with the possible exception of font-server. |
13 |
|
14 |
Another USE flag that I'm pleased with is "minimal." It disables |
15 |
building all of the sample clients, all of the fonts and many of the |
16 |
drivers. A test install using this was 28MB, compared to 100MB-150MB for |
17 |
a full-featured install. |
18 |
|
19 |
The final new flag is uclibc, for people using a uclibc-based Gentoo |
20 |
installation. |

There are also a number of miscellaneous fixes, including bugs: |
23 |
38549: Newport acceleration (MIPS machines) |
24 |

25 |
64929, 59746, 60131: Fix totem, kaffeine, gxine lockups |

keyboards |
28 |
67845: Fix dual-monitor Radeon setups |
29 |
68414: Build the Lucida 75dpi and 100dpi fonts |
30 |
68726: Add xbox nvidia driver |
31 |
fd.o 1501: Prevent libGL segfault when /dev/dri/card* are unreadable |
32 |
64618: Fix unresolved symbol problems when using hardened and the |
33 |
dlloader |

Please file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org for each problem you encounter. |

|
37 |
I'm unaware of any problems with the migration -r4 at present. However, |
38 |
downgrading without uninstalling -r4 will result in any other versions |
39 |
being installed to the symlinked /usr/X11R6/lib also. If anyone has a |
40 |
good solution to this, please file a bug. |
