Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
a quick note from a long way from home, and forced use of MS for email: |
| 4 |
as it's been explained to me, revisions of big packages (like xfree) are made |
| 5 |
when a number of fixes and updates can be rolled up together. Martin |
| 6 |
Schlemmer's been working on several fixes and changes to the xfree ebuild, so |
| 7 |
our scrollwheel fix will appear when the rest is ready for release. It's not |
| 8 |
exactly the most convenient thing for us, since this is an important fix for |
| 9 |
ppc users, but it's also not simply that we're being ignored. And since I |
| 10 |
don't have access to a gentoo box, it may already be out for all I know :-) |
| 11 |
Anyway, thanks for all the hard work Mark! |

Hey kainz |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I'll post future patches here I guess for now ;) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The patch makes it so that the default options are _not_ redefined on |
| 27 |
ppc (they are currently redefined in the r9 build which was the |
| 28 |
problem). The current build blindly overrides them with -ansi. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Martin Schlemmer (azarah@g.o) has a copy of the patch and the |
| 31 |
working ebuild as well, and I think he's the xfree maintainer so it |
| 32 |
should be all good, but you maye want to double check with him as well. |
| 33 |
