xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14) unstable; urgency=high
Urgency set to high due to fix for security flaw (see below). Changes by David Nusinow and Branden Robinson: * Replace s_popen()-based fix for CAN-2004-0914 with a better fix from freedesktop.org xorg CVS. There were several problems with s_popen(), some merely functional, and some themselves security-flawed. There does not appear to be a MITRE CVE candidate ID for this problem. The only differences between the Xpm library code in this package release and that in freedesktop.org xorg CVS HEAD as of 2005-05-26 are 1) whitespace differences; 2) RCS keyword differences; 3) preprocessor directives to support autotoolization of the library; 4) support for pre-ANSI C compilers in function declarations; 5) removal of some dead code in create.c; and 6) preprocessor-enforced ignorance of PutPixel32() on 64-bit systems (whose implementation was already disabled on 64-bit systems). (Closes: #308783) Changes by Branden Robinson: * Fix grammar error in Spanish debconf template translations (thanks, Steve Langasek). (Closes: #309450) * Grab fixes from freedesktop.org xorg CVS that make the DPMS extension header (dpms.h) and Xpm library header file (xpm.h) usable with C++ code by using the _XFUNCPROTO{BEGIN,END} macros instead of nothing at all (in the DPMS case) or a literal 'extern "C" {' construct (in the XPM case). C++ applications using the DPMS headers were likely to crash; see <URL: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=830 >. The DPMS fix also adds a header self-inclusion guard to dpms.h. * Invert sense of tests invoking has_multiplexed_mouse; the comments were right, but the logic was exactly backwards. This should fix warp-speed and left-handed configuration mouse device problems introduced (or simply not fixed for USB and PS/2 mouse users of Linux 2.6) in -13. Thanks to Steve Langasek for eyeballing the code and catching my thinko. (Closes: #311184)

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-13) unstable; urgency=high
Urgency set to high due to fix for security flaw CAN-2005-0605 (see below). Changes by Denis Barbier: * Update Spanish debconf template translations (thanks, Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña). (Closes: #298538) * Revert XLC_LOCALE/zh_TW.UTF-8 to the version shipped in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6. Tetralet explained that Chinese users are likely to have the unifont package installed because it is part of Chinese tasks, and this font covers all needed glyphs. With this font, having ISO10646 listed first in this file is harmless, whereas GTK1.2 apps are unreadable when it is at the bottom of this file. (Closes: #296719) Changes by Branden Robinson: * Fix CAN-2005-0605: libxpm4's scan.c file may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative bitmap_unit value that leads to a buffer overflow. (Closes: #299272) * Update FAQ entry "What is the story with XFree86's license?" to clarify wording and add a bit of future-proofing, per request from Daniel Stone. * Update FAQ to remove hyperlinks to the ViewCVS installation on necrotic.deadbeast.net, which no longer exists, and replace hyperlinks to snapshots of the xfree86 repository with hyperlinks to the Apache-served xfree86 repository itself. * Update FAQ entry "How can I help debug the XFree86 X server?" to include instructions on attaching GDB to a running X server process, and advice on how to recover the console while the X server is wedged. * Update FAQ entry "What is the story with XFree86 3.x?" to remove CAN-2004-0914 as a potential security threat -- XFree86 3.x did not ship the Xpm library, which that advisory covered. * In lxterm, redirect the standard error output of "locale charmap" to /dev/null so that we don't attempt to parse it. Thanks to Denis Barbier for pointing this out. * Update xfonts-100dpi-transcoded and xfonts-75dpi-transcoded's postinst and postrm scripts to stop invoking update-fonts-alias; these packages ship no font aliases, and can provoke warnings from that command if their non-transcoded counterpart packages are not installed. Thanks to Gregory Colpart for catching this. (Closes: #287221) * Stop using non-POSIX "local" keyword in shell-lib.sh. * Fix xdm's prerm script to remove /etc/X11/default-display-manager if the corresponding debconf question has disappeared (meaning that the last package which provided that shared template is being removed); this enables a clean purge of the /etc/X11 directory (among the xfree86 packages, at least). * Add dependencies on xfree86-common to every package that ships files in /usr/X11R6 and doesn't already have such a dependency; this ensures that the files located there are always locatable via the /usr/{bin,include,lib}/X11 symbolic links provided by xfree86-common. * Enhance xdm's logrotate configuration per Andrew Suffield. + Rotate log file weekly. + Keep logs around for one year. + Compress log files. + Delay compression of log files until after they've been rotated. (Closes: #285871) * Make xdm support log rotation properly. + Write patch #099x. - Implement new ReopenLogFile() and ReopenLogFileNotify() functions. ReopenLogFileNotify() is a signal handler for SIGUSR2. - Move the definition of the WRITES() macro from error.c to dm_error.h so that dm.c can use it as well. - Document xdm's signal handling in its manpage. + Update xdm's logrotate configuration to add a postrotate script which signals xdm with SIGUSR2. (Closes: #303688) * Grab patches by Thomas Winischhofer from freedesktop.org's xorg CVS which fix the busted MiscPassMessage() extension implementation in xfree86 which 1) copies from an invalid memory location, and 2) has memory leaks -- neither is a good trait in a setuid root program like the X server. (Closes: #285807) * Grab patches by Chisato Yamauchi, David Dawes, and Marc Aurele La France from xfree86 CVS (none later than 2004-01-12), to perform bounds checking on font metrics and avoid SEGVs in xfs and the X server. Resync patch #099v. (Closes: #284448) * Apply patches from Alex Williamson (also in freedesktop.org xorg CVS) to make the XFree86 X server's ELF object loader ensure cache coherency on IA64. Resync patch #071. (Closes: #303461) * Update dexconf to use a new function, has_multiplexed_mouse(), to check the Linux kernel version and only write a "Generic Mouse" InputDevice stanza (and reference to it in the ServerLayout section) if the "Configured Mouse" is not a device type multiplexed through /dev/input/mice. In Linux 2.4, only /dev/input/mouse* devices were treated this way, but now PS/2 and serial mouse devices are as well. This resolves problems with button remapping and doubled mouse events which caused "warp speed" mouse motion. (Closes: #269407) * Replace mouse configuration code in xserver-xfree86.config.in with a function, configure_mouse(), which performs the same functions but adds knowledge of many more mouse types and attempts to guess a reasonable default mouse device (dependent on architecture and even sub-architecture in some cases) in the event detection does not work. Add copious amounts of debugging statements (suppressed by default). Among other things, this adds support for the /dev/adbmouse device node used on Apple Desktop Bus-equipped Macintoshes. (Closes: #293527) * Fix translation error in Brazilian Portguese debconf template translations. (Thanks, André Luís Lopes!) (Closes: #308506) * Add Vietnamese debconf template translations. (Thanks, Clytie Siddall!) (Closes: #308422)

* Urgency set to medium due to fix for release-critical bug #295175
(xfree86-common fails to purge; see below).
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Fix xfree86-common and xdm's postrm scripts to shunt update-rc.d's
standard output to /dev/null; the #DEBHELPER# expando causes the postrm to
be re-executed with the debconf frontend, which is notorious for mistaking
anything that appears on standard output as food, and is confused by
update-rc.d's unconditional chattery spew. Thanks to Adam Conrad and
Steve Lanagasek for walking me through the issue on IRC.
(Closes: #295175)
* Fix missing .HP tag in XGetWindowProperty() (et al.) manpage. Thanks to
Tollef Fog Heen for bringing this to my attention.
* Update FAQ entry "How can I help debug 3D acceleration problems?" per
feedback from Michel Dänzer.

(xvfb-run broken; see below).
Changes by Denis Barbier:
* The loading of srvr_ctrl(xfree86) symbol definitions for Sun keyboards
was broken and made such keyboards unusable. (Closes: #286268)
* Make keypad delete key <KPDL> generate KP_Separator, not comma, in
Brazilian XKB layouts (thanks, Rafael Ávila de Espíndola). Update patch
#099z_xkb_level3_ralt_switch. (Closes: #286667)
* The basic variant of 'us' layout was not displayed by kxkb because its
'hidden' attribute was wrongly set. Thanks, Frans Pop! (Closes: #290935)
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Overhaul Xnest(1x) manpage. Among other cleanups:
+ Fix documented syntax of the "-geometry" option's argument.
(Closes: #282760)
* Drop run_parts() function in Xsession scripts in favor of "run-parts
--list". Update Xsession(5) manual page accordingly. Increment
xfree86-common's versioned dependency on debianutils from (>= 1.13) to
(>= 1.16.9). (Closes: #283764)
* Expand and update uxterm(1x) manual page.
* Implement koi8rxterm, a uxterm-like wrapper for KOI8-R locales. Ship
script, manual page, and app-defaults file. Update MANIFEST files.
Update xterm's package description and add a Suggests: on xfonts-cyrillic.
Register koi8rxterm as x-terminal-emulator alternative (priority of 20,
same as xterm itself). Deregister koi8rxterm as alternative when the
package is removed. (Closes: #173565)
* Implement lxterm, a simple wrapper that chooses whether to launch xterm,
koi8rxterm, or uxterm based on the output of "locale charmap". Ship
script and manual page. Update MANIFEST files. Update xterm's package
description. Register lxterm as an x-terminal emulator alternative,
giving it a priority of 30. Lower uxterm's alternative priority to 20.
Deregister lxterm as an alternative when the package is removed.
(Closes: #279252)
* Apply patch from Bjorn Helgaas to fix SEGV in ati/radeon driver that
occurs when RADEONQueryConnectedDisplays() calls vbeDoEDID() but the
latter function returns NULL. Thanks, Bjorn! (Closes: #284025)
* Tighten the OSMesa library's dependencies on Mesa, because OSMesa depends
on private _glapi* functions exported only by the Mesa version of the GL
library. Add exact versioned dependency of xlibosmesa4 on "xlibmesa-gl (=
${Source-Version)", and replace xlibosmesa-dev's dependency on "libgl-dev"
with "xlibmesa-gl-dev (= ${Source-Version)". Thanks to Marcelo Magallon
for pointing this out. (Closes: #287612)
* Apply Jan Wilhelm Stumpel's fix for the en_US.UTF-8 Compose map in
4.3.0.dfsg.1-9 to pt_BR.UTF-8 as well.
* Add FAQ entry: How can I set up my X server or X terminal to use XKB
without any X libraries or XKB data installed?
* Remove broken hyperlink to freedesktop.org in the FAQ. Thanks to Loïc
Minier for pointing this out. (Closes: #285222)
* Update information in the FAQ regarding problems GNU Emacs, XEmacs,
Openbox, and Sawfish have with XKB's "fake keys". Retitle entry from "My
keyboard configuration worked with XFree86 4.2; why is it messed up now?"
to "My keyboard configuration worked with previous versions of XFree86;
why is it messed up now? For example, my Windows keys don't work right in
Emacs or my window manager anymore."
* Remove spurious quotes from variable expansions of $XVFBARGS and
$LISTENTCP in xvfb-run. Thanks to Jeff Lessem for the patch!
(Closes: #286181)
* Add patch by Timothy Baldwin to evdev support to fix broken backslash
keys. (Closes: #266274)
* Fix xserver-xfree86's configure script to not die if Discover 1.x's
discover command segfaults. Thanks to Kyle McMartin for reporting this
problem and testing the fix. (Closes: #291722)
* Add more cleanups and enchancements to xdm in patch #002:
+ Actually attempt to write data to the auth file in
SaveServerAuthorizations(); that way we detect problems like ENOSPC
(full filesystem, user over quota) early enough to do something about
it. (Closes: #217505, #253480)
+ Add comments documenting race-based symlink attack prevention
techniques when creating files.
+ Add more detailed debugging and logging of errors when replacing
authorization files in SetUserAuthorization() and
RemoveUserAuthorization().
+ Add RemovePid() function (which removes the pidFile), and register it
with atexit(). (Closes: #213076)
+ Add more debugging to execute().
+ Use the term "process ID" instead of "process-id".
* Add more clearnups and enhancements to xfs in patch #003b:
+ Add RemovePid() function which removes the process ID file, and register
it with atexit() so that it is automatically invoked when xfs exits.
+ Refer to "user ID" and "process ID" in diagnostic messages, not "userid"
and "process-id".
+ Add "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" section to manpage.
+ Perform massive cleanup and reformatting of manpage.
* Update the stillrunning() function in xdm's and xfs's init scripts to
remove a known-stale /var/run/{xdm,xfs}.pid file if it is present. Stop
removing the daemon-not-stopped file, as code removing it is run
elsewhere. Stop forcing the script to exit if given the "stop" argument
and the daemon is assumed to not be running due to no process ID file
being found (this would cause "restart" to fail to start the daemon in
this case). Remove the "daemon-not-stopped" flag file if asked to stop
the daemon and it either appears to not be running, or was successfully
stopped. Update and clarify comments in xdm's and xfs's init scripts.
* Fix typo in German debconf template translations. Thanks, Georg Neis!
(Closes: #289508)
* Permit lower pixel clocks (less than 17.75 MHz, but greater than 12 MHz)
on older (Millenium, Mystique) Matrox cards. Thanks to Jan Gorski for
supplying information (updates fix for #261993).
* Fix the tdfx driver to stop failing to explain why some modes are
rejected. If TDFXValidMode() would return MODE_BAD, use xf86DrvMsg() to
document the reason.
* Fix xlsfonts, xprop, xwd, and xwininfo to not bleat a usage message when
XOpenDisplay() fails. Being unable to connect to the X server is an
operational error, not a user-input error.
* Add patch from Manoj Srivastava that implements support for SELinux in
imake and xdm. (Note that this patch only adds source-level support, and
does not actually enable it.) Thanks, Manoj! (Closes: #233551)
* Update patch #007 to fix the problem with XFree86-authored manpages
reporting "Version Version ..." in the footer.
* Update XTerm to patch #200 (2005-02-06) from Thomas Dickey's website.
+ Make active-icon work properly when TrueType fonts are used.
(Closes: #286068)
+ Fix a regression from patch #197 which disowned the selection if it was
scrolled, e.g., by the user pressing return at the bottom of the screen.
(Closes: #277832, #291787)
Resync patches #059, #803, and #907.
* Move the debhelper expando to immediately precede exit in maintainer
scripts, except where (as in the case of xdm and xfs), we use flag files
that indicate when the installation is over. In those cases, place the
expando immediately before removal of such files.
* Add copyright notice and GPL license boilerplate to init scripts.
* Enhance xserver-common's preinst script to support upgrades from package
versions between 4.0.1-6 and 4.2.1-10 (thanks, Brian Sammon).
(Closes: #267503)
* Update patch #087 (XPM library security fixes) to revert regressions in
functionality caused by overly aggressive validation of filespec strings
in OpenReadFile() and OpenWriteFile(). (Closes: #286164)
* Add __attribute__ ((packed)) to declaration of XChar2b structure in
Xlib.h, for GCC/ARM systems only. This is a kludge to work around a bad
design decision in the GCC ARM ABI, and has been discussed with Jim
Gettys, Keith Packard, and Phil Blundell. Thanks to Nicolas George and
Gaëtan LEURENT for bringing this issue to my attention. (Closes: #285396)
* Fix the "Advanced" monitor selection method in xserver-xfree86's config
script to use the monitor sync ranges autodetected by read-edid, if
available. Thanks to Jay Birkenbilt for the patch. (Closes: #229850)
* Reimplement mkdirhier and rewrite its manual page.
+ No longer adds extraneous leading slashes to filespecs.
(Closes: #141347)
+ No longer creates spurious levels of directory hierarchy.
(Closes: #232357)
* Grab patch from X.Org CVS (via Jan Kreuzer) to increase DDC retry delay a
little bit, which permits DDC probing to succeed on some hardware
configurations where it would otherwise fail. Thanks, Jan!
(Closes: #291243)
* Update FAQ entry "What is the story with XFree86 3.x?" to mention the Xsun
X server packages.
* Stop using the "local" keyword in /bin/sh scripts -- it turns out "local"
is not POSIX, but posh -n won't tell you that as it doesn't do a syntax
parse on function bodies, which is the only place that keyword makes
sense. Comment out this usage instead of removing it as a means of
stoking my likely-futile hopes that the Debian Policy Manual will carve
out another exception to POSIX compliance for /bin/sh scripts in this
area. A language with only global scope for variables scarcely bears
thinking about. Thanks to Clint Adams for pointing out this unfiled RC
bug, and to Steve Langasek for hounding me incessantly about it.
* Replace post-processed comments with pre-processed ones in patch #096;
this quiets build-time warnings. Also document why this patch is not yet
suitable for submission to upstream.
* In xserver-xfree86's config script, if the discover, mdetect, or get-edid
(from the read-edid package) commands are not available, set the
corresponding autodetection question to false and mark it as seen. That
way, if one of the hardware detection packages is subsequently installed,
the user is not confusingly shown a "do autodection?" debconf question,
and then nothing done about the answer.
* Fix validate-posix-sh script to stop pretending that ash and dash are
different shells -- in Debian, they're not.
* Apply patch from Steve Langasek to drop the xprt package, and stop
building the Xprt X server, since this functionality did not work in any
version of XFree86 up to 4.3.0, and has moved to the xprt-xprintorg
package. (The client-side Xp library is still built.) Thanks, Steve!
+ Update patch #003 to #define XprtServer NO and BuildXprintLib YES on
Debian systems. Resync patches #004, #099c, #099s, and #600.
+ Update rules file to stop turning off the build of Xprt in the server
debug target, since that's now redundant.
+ Update MANIFEST files to reflect the fact that Xprt is no longer built.
+ Remove xprt package's stanza from debian/control.
+ Remove debian/xprt.install debhelper file.
* Remove declaration of non-DFSG-freeness of the Compugraphic and Adobe
fonts (shipped as part of the Xprt server) from debian/copyright. Update
the prune-non-free script to stop removing these files from the upstream
archive. Roland Mainz has argued fairly persuasively on the debian-x
mailing list that the fonts were in fact freely licensed. In the event
Mr. Mainz is wrong, the point is pretty close to void, since 1) Xprt is
not being built or shipped anymore; 2) this change does not restore the
files in question to the .orig.tar.gz; 3) the X Strike Force doesn't
anticipate shipping these files in the future X.Org packages, either.
* Update patch #071 to be sure to pass the mprotect() in
ElfCollectSections() a page-aligned request (as the other use of
mprotect(), in ELFCreateGot(), already does). This reportedly prevents
SEGVs in the X server's ELF object loader on AMD64 systems. Thanks to
Piotr Kaczuba for this information. (Closes: #277699 (again))
* Add patch #099v by Guillem Jover to fix a SEGV in font server code
shared between xfs and the X server. Thanks, Guillem! (Closes: #294320)
* Migrate the bug scripts to the more sophisticated world order now in use.
+ Move current scripts from /usr/share/bug/$PACKAGE to
/usr/share/bug/$PACKAGE/script.
* Write and ship a "presubj" bug message for the xserver-xfree86 package
(also used by xserver-xfree86-dbg).
* Add two entries to the FAQ:
+ How can I help debug the XFree86 X server?
+ How can I help debug 3D acceleration problems?

Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Make factual updates, clarifications, and wording corrections to the FAQ:
+ Point out that the X.Org relicensing debacle was back in 1998, not
recent.
+ Be more clear about why OS distributors stuck with XFree86 after it was
forked, but before it was relicensed.
+ Identify which license is referred to as the "XFree86 1.1 license".
+ Clarify the origin of the contradictory statements regarding the
GPL-compatibility of XFree86.
+ Clarify the discussion of the "relicensing pilot project" that was
performed on the XFree86 "auto-config" code. The code was checked in,
then relicensed without other changes.
+ Point out that most distributors have settled on X.Org's X11R6.8.1 for
their X Window System implementation, at least for the time being.
+ Stress that XFree86 3.x is no longer supported.
+ Remove language that discusses future directions of XFree86 3.x support
in dexconf, since it is unlikely that that work is going to happen.

(Closes: #274101) * Add FAQ entry: Why does composing characters work in some applications but not others? * Apply patch from Jan Wilhelm Stumpel to correct miscoded Unicode Plane 1 characters in en_US.UTF-8 compose map. (Closes: #267231) * Install xlibs's bug script in the binary-indep rule, not binary-arch, since xlibs is an architecture "all" package. Now the script will actually be shipped. * If the restorecon command is available, restore SELinux file security contexts after setting up X server and ICE socket directories (xfree86-common) and font server socket directories (xfs) after creating them in the init scripts. (Closes: #268812, #271030) * Fix missing-word typo in xnest's package description. Thanks to Roland Stigge for catching this. (Closes: #268997) * Remove build-dependency on libstdc++5-dev | libstdc++-dev. A package providing libstdc++-dev is build-essential. Thanks to Steve Langasek for his counsel on this issue. (Closes: #268461) * Make xserver-common conflict with xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xfree86-dbg 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[56] using exact versioned conflicts. This prevents versions of the xserver-xfree86{,-dbg} packages that depend on a now-vanished interface in dexconf from being installed in conjunction with it. See the changelog entry for 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 for more information. Thanks to Adrian Bunk for this suggestion. * Grab from XFree86 CVS (no later than 2003-12-31) several updates to the Video4Linux (v4l) driver: + [#include regionstr.h, not miscstruct.h.] (#A.1859, Alexander Stohr) [David Dawes] + [Update format string when reporting memPhysBase.] (David Dawes) + Fix a problem with the v4l driver not seeing all the tv-norms available under the bttv driver with the Linux 2.6.0-test11 kernel (#5976, Marco Antonio Alvarez). [David Dawes] + Change v4l "norm" names to the bttv versions (#5993, Marco Antonio Alvarez). [David Dawes] (Closes: #270496) * Update "Further Information" section of FAQ. * Add FAQ entry: What are Debian's plans with respect to X.Org and XFree86? * Add FAQ entry: Sometimes I get garbage characters like 1;2c in my xterm windows; what's happening? * Update FAQ entry: My keyboard configuration worked with XFree86 4.2; why is it messed up now? * Update FAQ entry: How does the keyboard work in the X Window System? * Apply patch (#036) submitted to XFree86 Bugzilla on 2003-04-03 by the DRI Developers to fix OpenGL application crashes with "Assertion `vb.context == ctx' failed." for ATI R200 DRI users (thanks, Martin Dickopp). (Closes: #241534) * Add copyright and (MIT/X11 style) license for Bitstream Type1 fonts to copyright file. Thanks to Ben Harris for pointing this out. (Closes: #274018) * Clean up and expand xclock(1x) manpage to document the effects the RENDER extension has on command-line option and X resource handling. Thanks to Vincent McIntyre for prompting this. (Closes: #241566) * Use run() to unregister obsolete debconf templates in xserver-xfree86, since failure to do so is not fatal, and will occur if we are upgrading from a version of the package so old (pre-woody unstable) that the templates don't exist to be unregistered. Thanks to Florian Laws for diagnosing this bug. (Closes: #275710) * Stop manually compressing the plain text version of the Debian X FAQ; dh_compress will take care of that. Tell dh_compress to avoid compressing the XHTML version of the FAQ. * Restore xdm's Xreset script, which was removed in 4.2.1-12. If the use-sessreg option is set and the sessreg command is available, user X sessions will be de-registered from the utmp and wtmp files again. Update maintainer scripts to stop removing the conffile. Update xdm.install and MANIFEST.* files to ship Xreset script. The old xconsole-related logic is not restored. (Closes: #275329) * Replace XFree86 X server pre-release banner message with long boilerplate that declaims the release as heavily modified by Debian, and directs users to the Debian Bug Tracking System and the Debian X FAQ instead of XFree86 mailing lists; also replace an occurence of an XFree86 mailing list address in a tseng driver message (patch #914). * Update xlibs's package description to stop implying that no packages have up-to-date dependencies on it (xbase-clients does, due to xkbcomp, which is statically linked against libxkbfile). * Apply patch from Jeff Licquia to port the X configlet to python-configlet version 2 so that xserver-xfree86 package configuration doesn't crash for people who have the configlet infrastructure installed. Make xserver-common conflict with python-configlet (<< 2.0) accordingly. (Closes: #263076) * Apply patch from Jason Lunz for silly thinko that caused arguments to xvfb-run to be misparsed if they contained whitespace. Thanks, Jason! (Closes: #276415) * Tidy up and make consistent all Debian-specific manpages. * Update package descriptions to replace the term "pseudopackage" (which apparently only the xfree86 source package uses) with "dummy package" in the short description, and "transitional package" in the extended description, per section 6.7.7 of the Debian Developers' Reference. * Update patch #009 to improve the fix for the Rage128-specific problem with engine lockups; because CCE idle commands may never finish, eventually stop the engine altogether after a long enough period of inactivity. Thanks to Daniel Jacobowitz for the original patch, this improved version, and the real-world testing. (Closes: #278654) * Add FAQ entry: What is the story with XFree86 3.x? * Apply some fixes to the XFree86 X server's ELF object loader: + Stop conditionally #including <sys/mman.h> since it is unconditionally imported earlier in the file. + Perform an mprotect() for AMD64 Linux systems as well as OpenBSD to prevent SEGVs on NX-enabled kernels. (Closes: #277699) [2005-02-09: Didn't really fix this bug. BR] + Fix a problem with parentheses when using the preprocessor (doesn't affect Debian, but would cause unexpected behavior on OpenBSD). * Perform some cleanup work on the shared library maintainer scripts of libdps1, libxaw6, libxaw7, xlibmesa-gl, xlibmesa-glu, and xlibosmesa4; thanks to Fabio for noticing the inconsistencies. + Call register_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so() before invoking ldconfig in the post-installation scripts. + Perform configuration actions regardless of the value of "$1" in the post-installation scripts. + Call deregister_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so() before invoking ldconfig in the post-removal scripts. + Move the #DEBHELPER# expando later in the scripts where applicable. * Perform some cleanup work on the update-fonts-{alias,dir,scale} utilities and their manual pages. + Eliminate XSIisms (-a, -o) in uses of test(1)/[(1). + Re-indent at four spaces. + Query terminal for its width if $COLUMNS is not set, as shell-lib.sh does. Fall back to a width of 80 if stty returns garbage or nothing. + Rename error() to die(). + Add usage() function and -h, --help option. + Use exit status 2 to indicate usage errors as opposed to operational failures. + Be more careful with quoting shell variables. + Add and expand comments. + Add SVN Id keyword. + Update Vim modeline. + Update manual pages to document changes in interface and behavior (there are no backwards-incomaptible changes). * Perform some cleanup work on the xvfb-run utility and its manual page. + Query terminal for its width if $COLUMNS is not set, as shell-lib.sh does. Fall back to a width of 80 if stty returns garbage or nothing. + Add message() and error() functions. + Enhance usage() function to (additionally) display an error message consisting of the function arguments, if any. + Use error() and usage() instead of echo for error messages. + Cosmetically tidy up usage message, and correct a typo. + Declare locally-scoped variable in find_free_servernum(). + Store getopt's exit status and report it in an error message if it is nonzero. + Clarify the error message if getopt rearranges the command line in a way we don't expect. + Tidy up comment, shell function, and redirection style. Wrap long lines. Quote variables that may have whitespace in them. Update Vim modeline. + Describe effect of $COLUMNS environment variable in manpage. + Remove erroneous description of exit status 1, and explain why it is not used. + Add description of exit statuses 0, 4, 5, and 6. + Fix markup error. * Replace many occurences of XSI connectives in test(1) with POSIX shell connectives in scripts. * Apply patch from David Mosberger that replaces the fix for #225526 with one that works on systems that do not have a PCI bus numbered 0. Thanks, David! (Closes: #279436) * Apply patch from Richard Mortimer to fix the XFree86 X server's ELF object loader to set the PROT_EXEC flag on mmap()ed modules regardless of machine architecture. (It was already trying to do this, but there are three preprocessor statements involved, and we were only patching one.) (Closes: #280384) * Update XTerm to patch #197 (2004-09-30) from Thomas Dickey's website. + Change default translations so a BtnDown which is not recognized is simply ignored rather than emitting a bell. That makes it less obtrusive when the user tries to use a mouse which provides more capabilities than the X mouse driver supports, e.g., one with a horizontal scroll wheel. (Closes: #265133) + Note in xterm's manpage that "translations" is not specific to xterm. (Closes: #278897) + Modify uxterm script to use locale program to verify if the derived locale is installed. (Closes: #246398) + Modify the criteria for disowning primary selection. Previously, this happened anytime the cursor was moved before the end of the selection. That would ensure that any insert/delete of char or line, as well as scrolling, would disown the selection. The new criteria change this to checking if the operations would modify the data which is highlighted. (Closes: #277832) + Correct handling selection of tabs over cleared space in UTF-8 mode. In this special case, xterm represents the whitespace with a null rather than a space character. (Closes: #276447) + Amend fix for infinite loop from patch #192 to check if there is wrapped text to output in a following iteration. (Closes: #273202) + Amend solution for Debian #252873, #260471 from patch #194 by making the cursor not explicitly colored if only the foreground color is set, and the cursor is on a blank space. (Closes: #275473) * Add magic register poke to neomagic driver which apparently speeds up DVD playback operations. Thanks to Tony Hill for finding this patch. Unfortunately, despite efforts to locate some, there appears to be no documentation of why this register poke works. (Closes: #277038) Changes by Denis Barbier and Fabio M. Di Nitto: * Edit xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/pc/Imakefile so that the new pc/us_intl layout file gets installed. Update MANIFEST files and xlibs.install to ensure the file get shipped. + Ship a multi-layout aware us_intl layout. (Closes: #271326) + Make us_intl work again. (Closes: #274513) * Update Dutch debconf template translations (thanks, Bart Cornelis). (Closes: #278714) Changes by Denis Barbier: * Make Sun keyboards load srvr_ctrl(xfree86) symbol definitions to have access to standard Ctrl+Alt key sequences. (Closes: #236086) * Add several multi-layout aware layouts: + ca (Canada) contains several variants: "fr" is meant as a replacement for ca_enhanced, "fr-legacy" is another variant, and "multi" is an implementation of CAN/CSA-Z243.200-92. This standard requires two groups, so it is in fact divided into "multi" and "multi-2gr" variants. By default, "ca" loads both "multi" and "multi-2gr" to provide a full-featured keyboard. When it is combined with other layouts, the simpler variant "fr" is used, but others can be explicitly specified. (Closes: #245371, #252068, #258575) + The new ca layout also fixes ISO_Level3_Shift, which was mapped to <RCTL> instead of <RALT>. (Closes: #274457) + jp (Japan) also requires a combination of two variants. When this is the only loaded layout, the full combination is used. When this layout is combined with others, only the "jp106" variant is loaded. + hu (Hungary) layout has been simplified; some variants have been removed. (Closes: #263561) + ch (Switzerland) replaces de_CH and fr_CH. + mn (Mongolia) and vn (Vietnam) are simple layouts. * In UTF-8 compose files, replace U00xx Unicode codepoints by the corresponding keysyms. Otherwise the compose character is in the range 0x01000000-0x010000FF which is not valid according to appendix A of the X11 protocol. Even if most applications are able to recognize these broken characters, few of them fail, most notably xemacs and users are then unable to use composition when in UTF-8 locales. (Closes: #235574) * Replace level3(ralt_switch_multikey) by level3(ralt_switch) in all layouts so that symbols on the 4th column may be accessed with Shift+Alt_R or Alt_R+Shift. (Closes: #270235) + In /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86, move lv3 definitions after altwin so that the former can override the latter. See Bug#276143. Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto: * Update wacom input driver from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ up to version 0.6.4: + Remove now obsolete patch 036_wacom_usb_tablet_update.diff + Add patch 000_stolen_from_sourceforge_wacom_driver.diff + Fix input timeout problems if the device is not connected. No references are available in upstream changelog, but tests do not show this behavior anymore. (Closes: #231837) + Fix compatibility with kernel 2.6 wacom driver. (Closes: #250331) + Add support for Cintiq boards. According to #172526 logs the patch has been included, reworked and cleaned by upstream a long time ago. No references are available in upstream changelog. (Closes: #172526) + A combination of new kernel, xfree86 and wacom driver appears to have fixed the APM resume issue as described in #80140. Tests done on a powerpc laptop do not show this problem anymore. No references are available in upstream changelog. (Closes: #80140) * Add workaround for the UseBIOS default setting in the savage driver: + Add patch 099i_pro_savage_ddr_set_use_bios_to_false.diff + Set UseBios default to "no" for PROSAVAGE_DDR and PROSAVAGE_DDRK, as described at <URL: http://www.probo.com/timr/savage40.html >. * Fix nl_BE locale alias information. * Use validate-posix-sh at build time to perform syntax check on generated maintainer scripts. * Increase verbosity of validate-posix-sh warnings. Stop immediately exiting upon encountering the first shell interpeter that fails on the script; instead, attempt all the interpreters and report all that fail. * Sync debian/rules install-server target with install and make binary-server work again. Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto and Branden Robinson: * Update patch #087 to include fruits of Xpm source code security audit by Thomas Beige. Resolves CAN-2004-0914: memory leak, improper use of signed integers, and overflows in the Xpm library. Resync offset in patch #200.

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-8) unstable; urgency=high
Changes by Denis Barbier:
* Update Danish debconf template translations (thanks, Claus Hindsgaul).
(Closes: #270503)
* Grab /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/us_intl from XFree86 CVS (2003-10-04). This
makes us_intl multi-layout aware, and binds the right Meta key to
Mode_Switch. (Closes: #271326, #234085)
* Revert upstream change to altwin behavior applied in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1.
The Meta_* keysyms must be removed from the shift level of Alt keys when
altwin:meta_win or altwin:left_meta_win are used; otherwise, XKB-unaware
applications (like GNU Emacs) may believe that mod1 and mod4 are bound to
Meta keys.
* Fix inconsistencies in rules/xfree86* files:
+ rules/xfree86: List in $oldlayouts all layouts which are currently not
multi-layout aware in the Debian xlibs package, including hu_US (thanks,
Veres Lajos). (Closes: #247463, #270810)
+ rules/xfree86: Support the lv3:ralt_switch option, which exists in
xfree86.lst but was forgotten in this file.
+ rules/xfree86: Remove special case that causes PC keyboard models with
the us_intl layout to load the us layout and add the us_intl layout to
it. (Closes: #234085)
+ rules/xfree86.{lst,xml}: Replace the options altwin:meta_super and
altwin:meta_hyper with the correct names altwin:super_win and
altwin:hyper_win. (Closes: #271259)
+ rules/xfree86.{lst,xml}: Synchronize these files.
Changes by Denis Barbier and Branden Robinson:
* Add FAQ entry: My keyboard configuration worked with XFree86 4.2; why is
it messed up now? (Closes: #259740)
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* In the Xsession script, attempt to create a file of non-zero length in
/tmp; a full filesystem can cause mysterious X session failures.
* Add FAQ entry: How does the keyboard work in the X Window System?
* Update XTerm to patch #196 (2004-08-15) from Thomas Dickey's website.
+ Change clearing operations so foreground color attribute is not set.
Usually this is benign, but in some cases when the cursor color is not
set explicitly, the cursor would show this color. (Closes: #252873)
+ Modify initialization and cleanup of utmp data to also compare the
ut_line member. (Closes: #256468)
* Update XTerm FAQ to revision 1.86 (2004-07-28) from Thomas Dickey's
website.
Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto:
* Create debian/tmp/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc when NOT_BUILDING_XFREE86_X_SERVER
is defined. Fixes FTBFS on s390.
* Security update (patch #087). Resolves the following issues:
+ CAN-2004-0687: stack overflows in libXpm
+ CAN-2004-0688: integer overflows in libXpm
(Closes: #272493)
* Update nv driver and some support code, and grab an XVideo bugfix from
X.Org CVS as of 2004-09-15:
+ Update 000_post430.diff:
- Drop nv_setup.c bits.
+ Update 000_stolen_from_HEAD.diff:
- Include xf86xv.c Xv fix for big-endian machines.
+ Rename 000_stolen_from_HEAD_nv_driver.diff to
000_stolen_from_xorg_nv_driver and update:
- Full nv driver from X.org.
- Removed 2 references to XORG_VERSION_CURRENT since it is not defined.
+ Rename 000_stolen_from_freedesktop.org.diff to 000_stolen_from_xorg.diff
and update:
- Add xaa bits required to compile the new nv driver.
- Add fbdevhw bits required to compile the new nv driver.
+ Update 030_Xserver_and_driver_region_primitive_fixups.diff:
- REGION_EQUAL backport from X.org.
- Fix call to REGION_EQUAL in Xv autopaint initialization error
introduced in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7.
+ Drop 098_nv_xvideo_fullscreen_fix.diff:
- Now included upstream.
+ Rediff 911_debian_XF86Config_to_XF86Config-4.diff.
+ Update MANIFEST and xserver-xfree86.install files to reflect the new
riva128.o submodule.
(Closes: #269025, #268759, #271235, #270228, #271071, #270714)
* Update Czech debconf template translations (thanks, Miroslav Kure).
(Closes: #273516)
Changes by ISHIKAWA Mutsumi:
* Update Japanese debconf template translations (thanks, Kenshi Muto).

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-7) unstable; urgency=high
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Update Turkish debconf template translations (thanks, Recai Oktas).
(Closes: #256360)
* Grab latest version of XTerm (#191) from Thomas Dickey's website.
* Add FAQ entry: Why is xterm using the "fixed" font for everything,
disregarding the font configuration from the X resource database?
(Closes: #254650)
* Update hyperlink to Debian X FAQ in NEWS file. Thanks to Calum Mackay for
pointing this out.
* Make libxpm-dev rather than xlibs-static-dev provide libxpm4-dev.
Thanks to Daniel Schelper for pointing this out. (Closes: #256420)
* Move atobm and its manpage from xutils to xbase-clients; this shuts up
dangling symlink warning mails from cron on systems with xutils installed
but not xbase-clients. Make xbase-clients declare that it replaces xutils
(<< 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7). (Closes: #200061)
* Invert the sense of a test in debian/rules; this results in xlibmesa-dri's
bug script actually being shipped. D'oh!
* Make xbase-clients depend on xlibs and explain why in the package's
extended description. Thanks to Andreas Metzler for catching this.
(Closes: #257023)
* Update FAQ entry "How do I run an X client as root when the X session
is run by a user?" to document existence of sux.
* Update Glide3 library support for amd64 and ia64 thanks to Guillem Jover.
Increment versioned build-dependency on libglide3 to >= 2002.04.10-7, and
require this library for building on amd64 and ia64. Edit patch #003 to
enable compilation of tdfx DRI Mesa module on amd64 and ia64. Shut up cpp
warnings when generating Makefiles by defining a default value for
HasGlide3 in xfree86.cf ("NO"). Resync patches #004, #048, #103, #150,
#250, #500, and #600. Ship tdfx DRI Mesa module in xlibmesa-dri for amd64
and ia64, and unstripped version of same in xlibmesa-dri-dbg.
(Closes: #255270)
* Fix up Glide3 library support in various respects. Stop shipping tdfx DRI
Mesa module on powerpc until it stops being useless (i.e., until
libglide3-dev is available on that architecture). Move xlibmesa-gl's
suggestion of the libglide3 package (and explanation thereof) to the
xlibmesa-dri package.
* Add FAQ entry: I'm having trouble getting dual-head support to work on my
ATI Radeon card. Can you help? (Closes: #236197)
* Update FAQ to include hyperlink to the upstream source for the XTerm FAQ.
* Grab latest version of XTerm (#192) from Thomas Dickey's website.
According to the upstream changelog, this release addresses several Debian
bugs.
+ Change resource settings for color4 and color12; add some discussion in
XTerm-col.ad. (Closes: #255070)
+ Add a note in xterm manpage regarding possible conflict between resource
settings for xterm.vt100.font and xterm.vt100.utf8Fonts.font.
(See #254650.)
+ Add case to uxterm to accommodate locales ending with "@euro", e.g.,
fr_FR.UTF-8@euro (report/analysis by Matthieu Lagouge).
(Closes: #255197)
+ Save the fontnames for bold fonts that are derived from normal fonts, or
from the boldFont resource, so the same value is restored when switching
with the VT Fonts menu. (Closes: #256086)
+ Fix typo in manpage's description of character classes.
(Closes: #257073)
+ Modify terminfo to accommodate luit, which relies on G1 being used via
an ISO-2022 escape sequence (analysis by Juliusz Chrobocek).
(See #254316; in Debian, this is actually an ncurses-base bug.)
* Update XTerm FAQ to latest version (1.84) from Thomas Dickey's website.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (no later than 2003-11-10) several fixes to the
RandR extension manual page and server-side implementation.
+ Remove reference to non-existent Xrender(3) man page (reported to
webmaster). [David Dawes]
+ Fix manual pages typos (Bugzilla #316, Jens Schweikhardt). [Matthieu
Herrb]
+ Removed Copyright sign from man pages as this causes some formatters to
choke (Egbert Eich).
+ Fixed rounding of refresh rate in RandR, updated Xrandr man page
(BugzillaR #527, Egbert Eich).
+ Fix RandR initialization problem when default screen resolution is
different from the virtual resolution. (Bugzilla #853, Bob Paauwe).
[Alan Hourihane]
+ The call to xf86RandRSetMode() from xf86RandRCreateScreenResources()
doesn't appear to be necessary. Removing it restores the documented
ViewPort behaviour when RandR is enabled (David Dawes).
+ Warning fix [Marc Aurele La France]
+ C-style comments were being stripped by preprocessing. [David Dawes]
(Closes: #256297)
* Fix bug in COMPOUND_TEXT translation of the GBK character encoding
(thanks, Su Yong). (Closes: #255224)
* Fix missing element of Debian X FAQ conversion to XHTML; correct
s390-specific version of xfree86-common dh_installdocs file to recognize
that the FAQ is already gzipped.
* Move BDF font character set conversion files from xfonts-base package to
xutils (these files are used and needed by the ucs2any tool in the latter
package, and not by anything else). Update MANIFEST and .install files
accordingly. Make xutils declare that it replaces xfonts-base (<<
4.3.0.dfsg.1-7).
* Rewrite and greatly enhance manifest-install-reconcile tool to be able to
check against lists of known false positives and false negatives on a
per-architecture basis. Ship these lists, add a usage message to
manifest-install-reconcile, and document use of the script in the README
file.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (no later than 2003-12-18) fixes to the ja_JP.UTF-8,
ko_KR.UTF-8, and zh_TW.UTF-8 XLC_LOCALE files to prefer ISO
10646-1-encoded fonts less strongly. Add zh_CN.UTF-8 XLC_LOCALE file.
Update MANIFEST and .install files accordingly. (Closes: #255701)
* Provide local, hacked version of debconf-updatepo (in debian/scripts) that
doesn't destroy the comment and header block of debian/po/templates.pot.
Add "pristine" comment and header file in debian/po, add debian/rules
targets to handle PO and POT file updates using our local script, and
document the recommended procedure in debian/README. Hopefully the real
debconf-updatepo will be fixed soon.
* Update debian/po/*.{po,pot} files to update comment header and get effects
of a debconf-updatepo bugfix which misidentified template types in some
situations.
* Update Czech debconf template translations (thanks, Miroslav Kure).
(Closes: #260868)
* Update German debconf template translations (thanks, Florian Ernst and
Alwin Meschede). (Closes: #261239)
* Update Dutch debconf template translations (thanks, Bart Cornelis).
(Closes: #261337)
* Update Brazilian Portuguese debconf template translations (thanks, André
Luís Lopes). (Closes: #261389, #269507)
* Apply patch from Thomas Dickey to fix Imake's CppRawFileTarget() so that
it no longer tempts cpp into corrupting manpages. Thanks, Thomas!
(Closes: #259996)
* Update hurd-i386 support.
+ Update gnu.cf to declare platform support for groff, libpng, and PAM
libraries in parity with Linux; also specify correct path to cpp
executable.
+ Tell XTerm's Imakefile that openpty() needs -lutil on GNUArchitecture
(patch #803).
+ Disable special hostname registration code for __GNU__ in xdm (patch
#804).
+ Update MANIFEST.hurd-i386.in in light of updates to build configuration.
+ Remove MANFIEST.hurd-i386.all; it is no longer needed.
+ Update mir-false-negatives and mir-false-positives to reflect changes in
MANIFEST files.
(Thanks, Michael Banck!)
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-05-29) a fix for a SEGV in libX11's lcPrTxt()
function, which caused application crashes when, e.g., pasting text into
XTerm. Also remove patch #051 in favor of identical fix committed to
XFree86 CVS on 2003-04-03. Thanks to Thomas Dickey for tracking this
bug, and fix, down. (Closes: #250655)
* Expand, correct, and tidy up the setxkbmap(1x), xkbcomp(1x), xkbevd(1x),
and xkbprint(1x) manpages; also correct typos in xkbcomp's README.config
file (patch #051). (Closes: #255371)
* Perform major stylistic fixes to the XF86Config-4(5x) manpage, greatly
expand its cross-reference section to mention all shipped section 4x
manpages (e.g. radeon(4x)), and fix some typos (patch #099e).
(Closes: #257440)
* Update manpage cross-references to refer to XF86Config-4(5x) instead of
XF86Config(5x), and add brief explanatory note to top of XF86Config-4(5x)
(patch #911).
* Update FAQ to split off some of existing entry "Why are some fonts (or
graphical rulers) sized incorrectly?" into new question "How do I set the
DPI (dots-per-inch) value used by the X server?".
* Grab fix from XFree86 CVS (2003-05-07) to bounds problems in *scanf(),
snprintf() and strncpy() calls in lbxproxy, makepsres, and xedit.
* Tighten regex in patch-audit rule so messages like "patching file
xc/doc/man/Xt/XtOffset.man" are not false positives.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-05-29) a boatload of typographical fixes to
manual pages. Resync and make further corrections to manpages in patches
#026 (appres, ico) and #051 (setxkbmap, xkbcomp, xkbevd, xkbprint).
Resync patches #032, #099e, #911.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-07-16) more updates to the nv driver. Fixes
several bugs as well as adding support for several chipsets, including
GeForce FX 5600SE, GeForce FX Go5600, GeForce FX Go5650, Quadro FX Go700,
GeForce FX Go5100, GeForce FX 5900 Ultra, GeForce FX 5900, Quadro FX 3000,
and the "mystery" TNT2 card with a PCI model ID of 0x002a. Extend
reversion of REGION_EQUAL macro implementation to nv driver in patch #030.
Resync patch #911.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-07-07) more updates to the trident driver,
placing them in their own patch file. Fixes several bugs and adds support
for TV chipsets VT1621 and CH7005. Drop trident driver patches in
#000_stolen_from_HEAD in favor of new patch file. Extend reversion of
REGION_EQUAL macro implementation to trident driver in patch #030. Resync
patch #911.
* Change Catalan debconf template translations to use the characters "LATIN
SMALL LETTER L" and "MIDDLE DOT" instead of "LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH
MIDDLE DOT" so that the file can be successfully transcoded to ISO
8859-15, shutting up hateful noise from one of the programs called by
dh_installdebconf (thanks, Guillem Jover).
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-10-02) several updates to the mouse input
driver, fixing bugs and adding support for the Kensington
"ValuMouseScroll" protocol. Grab an additional fix from XFree86 CVS
(2003-12-08) for mouse wheel misbehavior on PowerPC. Resync patches #040
and #097. Add "ValuMouseScroll" to the list of supported serial mouse
protocols in xserver-xfree86's configuration script.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-10-02) several bugfixes to xedit, including a
fix for a SEGV in Lisp_New(). Move existing xedit patches from XFree86
CVS to their own patch file. (Closes: #257835)
* Major housecleaning of X11's locale support (patch #011a).
+ Add all locales supported by version 2.3.2 of the GNU C Library except
zh_CN.GB18030, sq_AL.ISO-8859-1, and tg_TJ.KOI8-T. X has no support for
the GB18030 and KOI8-T character sets, and glibc appears to disagree
with most of the world about which character set Albanians use (see, for
example, iso_8859-2(7)). This baka gaijin has learned his lesson about
trying to report l10n bugs in glibc, so I'll let someone else do the
jousting. :-P
+ Synchronize compose.dir with locale.dir wherever possible (i.e.,
wherever compose tables exist) so that as many supported locales as
possible get a Compose map. Comment out references to compose tables
that don't actually exist.
+ Disable support for iu_CA.NUNACOM-8. X11 doesn't have any support for
the NUNACOM-8 character set. (iu_CA.UTF-8 is still supported.)
+ Disable support for locales that are neither supported by the GNU C
Library, nor use standard ISO 639 language or 3166 territory codes.
This includes Esperanto (eo_EO, eo_XX), and what I presume is
Pennsylvania "Dutch" (pd_DE, pd_US).
+ Turn off intrusion of Nynorsk into Nyanja's ISO 639 space. (Nynorsk is
nn, not ny.)
+ Retain support for a3 as an alias for az (Azerbaijani), though I'm
dubious about it.
+ Turn off support for the bogus (and ancient) FreeBSD-ism of using
"lt_LN.ISO8859-1" as a "generic" Latin-1 locale.
+ Remove bogus "ee" locales for Estonian (et).
+ Remove ISO 8859-15 support for languages that don't use that character
set according to glibc.
+ Alias "fi" and "fi_FI" to use ISO 8859-1, not ISO 8859-15, for
compatiblity with glibc (thanks, Jukka Suomela). (Closes: #266834)
+ Remove @euro modifier support from locales that don't use that currency
(i.e., countries not in the Euro zone).
+ Ensure we support the @euro modifier for all locales that use it
(according to glibc), even if the codeset is explicitly specified. See
Debian #208137.
+ Rewrite some comments to be in grammatical English.
+ Add locale-munger script, which I used to gather the information that
drove these changes.
+ Resync patch #096.
+ Fix a few Debian bugs in the process:
- en_GB.ISO-8859-15 is now supported. (Closes: #122039)
- et_EE.ISO-8859-15 is now supported. (Closes: #258223)
- sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 is now supported. (Closes: #243237)
* Apply patch to savage driver to turn off RandR extension when driver's
"Rotate" option is used, preventing screen garbling (patch #099f; thanks,
Jorg Schuler). Update manpage to document this fact. Resync patch #911.
(Closes: #258986)
* Fix wrong comment character in Debian customizations to XTerm application
defaults file. (Closes: #252274)
* Grab from X.Org CVS a fix for SEGVs in the chips driver when the current
mode wasn't valid. Thanks to Ryan Underwood for identifying and testing
this fix. Resync patches #044 and #045. (Closes: #260753)
* Make keypad delete key <KPDL> generate KP_Separator, not KP_Decimal, in
Polish XKB layouts (thanks, Emil Novak). (Closes: #261163)
* Grab latest version of Thomas Winischhofer's SiS driver for the XFree86 X
server from his website as of 2004-08-20. Resync patch #911.
+ Circumvent unresolved symbol complaints by explicitly loading the "glx"
module when DRI is used. (Closes: #254601)
* Fix up the Mesa DRI tdfx module so that it really does use only libglide3,
not libglide3-dev (#099h). Open the actual libglide shared library we
need, not the symbolic link used at compile time, which may not be
installed on non-development systems. When opening chipset-specific glide
libraries, use the filenames actually in use by the current version of the
libglide3 package. Thanks to Guillem Jover for this patch.
(Closes: #260099)
* Update "Why does the X server take up so much memory?" FAQ entry with
information from Albert Cahalan about how I/O is charged to processes in
the procps utilities (he says it actually isn't). Also add description of
xrestop package and utility.
* Overhaul dexconf.
+ Drop support for XFree86 3.x X server format.
+ Drop support for -f, --format and -s, --stdout options.
+ Use exec and open file descriptor 4 for output, instead of repetitiously
redirecting standard output to a file explicitly all the time. We can't
use fd 3 since debconf uses it.
+ Use here documents a little more, and printf a little less.
+ Put blank lines between XF86Config-4 sections so that the file is easier
to read.
+ Overwrite the destination file instead of "mv"ing or "cp"ing it; this
way it is never unlinked. (The maintainer scripts implement enough
paranoia already.)
+ Tidy up shell style.
+ Modernize dexconf(1) manual page to undocument obsolete options, replace
the "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" section with "HISTORY", correct and update
"DIAGNOSTICS" section, provide more cross-references, and put a newline
at the end of every sentence in the document source (per the GNU Roff
texinfo documentation).
+ Use -o instead of -s and redirection when invoking dexconf from
xserver-xfree86's postinst script, since the -s option is no longer
supported.
+ WARNING: xserver-xfree86{,-dbg} 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[56] are not compatible with
this version of xserver-common, or planned future versions, due to the
above-mentioned removal of dexconf's -s option. At the same time,
saying xserver-common 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 conflicts: xserver-xfree86
(<< 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7) and xserver-xfree86-dbg (<< 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7) is
excessive because 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 and earlier will work. I have heard
that stating such a conflict can make things difficult for apt's
problem resolver (or even impossible, if in conjunction with enough
other versioned dependency or conflicts), so the risk seems greater than
the reward. It's too bad we don't have a way to conflict on ranges that
aren't bounded on either zero or infinity. Given that 4.3.0.dfsg.1-[56]
have never appeared even in sarge, I'm making this judgement call. Any
bugs about this will be closed with this changelog entry included,
unless you can rebut my premises; i.e., "I am Jason Gunthorpe and I
declare that apt can eat a stack of versioned conflicts like this for
breakfast and still see the One True Upgrade Path!", or "You silly
person, of course dpkg and apt accept 'Conflicts: (4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 <<)
xserver-xfree86 (<< 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7)'!"
Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto and Branden Robinson:
* Support building only the parts of the source tree needed by
architecture-specific packages.
+ Modify Debian Imake configuration to support building with fonts and
specs docs turned off (patch #003). Resynchronize GNU/Hurd,
GNU/FreeBSD, and GNU/NetBSD Imake configurations with Debian
configuration (patches #800, #820, #842, #900). Resync diffs in patches
#004, #099c, #600.
+ Modify Imakefiles to build and install the font utilities even if the
fonts themselves are not being shipped (patch #095).
+ Make the "build" target a dummy target, replacing it with
"build-arch-only" and "build-all" targets. Target-specific variable
values are used to invoke a "real-build" target, turning off the
building of fonts and "specs docs" as needed.
+ Add comments to rules file, update $(stampdir_targets) and .PHONY
target.
+ Split MANIFEST files into arch-specific and arch-independent parts.
Update the README to explain how these files work now and how to update
them.
+ Ship the XTerm control sequences document only in the xspecs package.
Consequences:
+ Reduce the disk space required to build the package by ~520MB when the
"binary-arch" target is used (e.g., by "dpkg-buildpackage -B".)
+ Reduce the build time by 20 to 30 percent when the "binary-arch" target
is used (ccache users might see even more improvement).
+ Make the buildd admins hate us less.
* Rewrite migration of app-defaults (in libxt6) and xkb (in libx11-6)
directories.
+ Enhance the shell libary with new functions:
- Implement check_symlink() and change check_symlinks_and_warn() and
check_symlinks_and_bomb() to use it.
- Implement make_symlink_sane(). Ensure that the specified symbolic
link symlink exists, and points to the specified target. If symlink
does not exist, create it and point it at target. If symlink exists
but is not a symbolic link, back it up. If symlink exists, is a
symbolic link, but points to the wrong location, fix it. If symlink
exists, is a symbolic link, and already points to target, do nothing.
This function wouldn't be needed if ln had an -I, --idempotent option.
- Implement migrate_dir_to_symlink(). Per Debian Policy section 6.5.4,
"A directory will never be replaced by a symbolic link to a directory
or vice versa; instead, the existing state (symlink or not) will be
left alone and dpkg will follow the symlink if there is one." We have
to do it ourselves. This function moves the contents of old_location,
a directory, into new_location, a directory, then makes old_location a
symbolic link to new_location. old_location need not exist, but if it
does, it must be a directory (or a symlink to a directory). If it is
not, it is backed up. If new_location exists already and is not a
directory, it is backed up.
+ Add config scripts for libx11-6 and libxt6, which detect if
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/{app-defaults,xkb} is a directory but not a symlink,
and use debconf to prompt the user (at low priority) whether the
directories should be moved. If the user says no, abort the script. If
the user says yes (default), start the migration with
migrate_dir_to_symlink().
+ Update preinst scripts to use debconf as the configs script do; this is
unusual but necessary because if we're going to do the migration we need
to start before any other packages (which may use the old directories)
are unpacked.
+ In the preinst scripts, call check_symlink(), and if that fails, call
make_symlink_sane(). Stop calling check_symlinks_and_warn().
+ Update postinst scripts to indicate that migration is completed.
+ Update postrm scripts to run migration in reverse if it had been started
and the package installation or upgrade is aborted.
+ We keep shipping /etc/X11/{app-defaults,xkb} symlinks as part of the
package payloads, because manipulating them in the preinst isn't enough
-- dpkg will remove "disappearing" files from the system after the
preinst runs but before the postinst does, leaving a window for packages
using the legacy paths to unpack to the old location with no symlink to
redirect them, which is precisely what we don't want (see section 6.5 of
the Debian Policy Manual).
* Make xserver-xfree86 config script's validate_monitor_frequency_db_input()
function more strict, so it doesn't regard open-ended ranges like "40-" as
valid.
* Fix some lingering references to an unreleased version of xserver-common
in the debian/control file; bump the versioning up to the subsequent
package release.
Changes by Robert Millan:
* Get glxinfo to link properly with g++ (instead of adding -lstdc++).
Changes by Fabio M. Di Nitto:
* Fix default drivers lists in xserver-xfree86.config.in. The via driver is
only available for hurd-i386 and i386.
* Fix bug in xserver-xfree86 configuration script where failure of
autodetection would cause the script to think it had detected one X server
or XFree86 video driver instead ($(echo "" | wc -l) is "1", not "0").
* Add French and Danish translation of "Generic Monitor" to
xserver-xfree86.config.in. Thanks to Christian Perrier and Anders Dybdal.
* Add Danish translation of "Generic Video Card" to
xserver-xfree86.config.in. Thanks to Anders Dybdal.
Changes by Denis Barbier:
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (no later than 2003-12-18) several fixes to XKB:
+ Fix for XKB map 'altwin' to avoid one keysym to more than one modifier
mapping (Ivan Pascal). This really fixes the Alt-Tab issue.
(Closes: #256706)
+ Fix xmodmap's output of the modifiers map to not display BadKey when
the first column keysym is empty (Ivan Pascal).
+ The "modifier_add none" construct was introduced by Ivan Pascal some
times ago, but it was not documented in the changelog and a piece was
missing to enable this feature. No keymaps currently use this feature,
but users may find it useful with broken keymaps.
* Update Italian debconf template translations (thanks, Danilo Piazzalunga).
(Closes: #270126)
* Update French debconf template translations (thanks, Clement Stenac).

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-6) unstable; urgency=low
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Apply patch by David S. Miller via Ben Collins to add RENDER and X
Acceleration Architecture (XAA) support to the Sun FFB driver, and use FB
framebuffer layer instead of MFB and CFB. (Closes: #245246)
* Convert Debian X FAQ from plain text to XHTML. Thanks to Andreas Metzler
for doing most of the hard work of conversion. Make several minor updates
to FAQ text. Use lynx to convert FAQ to plain text format for shipping in
package. Ship both plain text and XHTML form of FAQ in xfree86-common.
Add build-dependency on lynx. Update xfree-common's doc-base information
to include (X)HTML form of FAQ document.
* Update XTerm FAQ to latest version from Thomas Dickey's website.
* Revert to using lynx instead of html2text for converting XTerm FAQ from
HTML to plain text. Drop build-dependency on html2text. Ship
(compressed) plain text version of XTerm FAQ as
/usr/share/doc/xterm/xterm.faq.gz, not
/usr/share/doc/xterm/xterm.faq.text.gz. Update xterm's doc-base
information accordingly.
* Update Danish debconf template translations (thanks, Claus Hindsgaul).
(Closes: #255184)
* Enhance xlibs package's bug script to report compiled XKB data for X
server, if possible.
* Add "How to Use this Document" and "Acknowledgements" sections to FAQ.
* Update FAQ entries:
+ What is the X Window System?
+ What is XFree86?
* Add FAQ entries:
+ What is the story with XFree86 being forked?
+ What is the story with XFree86's license?
+ What is freedesktop.org?
+ What is X.Org? (Thanks to Steve Swales for his explanations of the
X.Org organization's history and expected future.)
* Update Japanese debconf template translations (thanks, Kenshi Muto).
(Closes: #256099)
* Grab OS/2 updates from XFree86 CVS as of 2003-03-24 to ease pending
merges. Resync patch #802.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-06-04) client- and server-side implementation
of MiscExtPassMessage() addition to XF86Misc extension (primarily to ease
pending merges). Resync patch #802. Add NEWS file to xlibs-static-pic
package to note API change.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-06-11) support for the keypad equal key on
Macintosh keyboards. Resync patch #066.
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-08-22) a fix for the problem some window
managers have seeing Alt key release events (commonly known as the
"Alt-Tab problem"). (Closes: #254973)
* Fix miscellaneous Macintosh XKB data problems:
+ The keypad equal key (<KPEQ>) should map to the "KP_Equal" keysym, not
"equal".
+ Fix typo that kept the right Alt key from working.
* Fix xdm and xfs's init and postinst scripts in several respects.
+ Don't remove the "daemon not stopped" flag file in the postinst; we want
to leave it there so it is seen by the next invocation of the init
script (which is already written to remove it when needed).
+ Correct init scripts' notion of the name of the "daemon not stopped"
flag file (completes change begun in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1).
+ Use --name instead of --exec argument to start-stop-daemon when stopping
a daemon that was not stopped across an upgrade (see #256790).
+ Fix misleading wording (and misleading variable name) in xdm postinst
when refusing to start the daemon.
Changes by Fabio Massimo Di Nitto:
* Update French debconf template translations (thanks, Christian Perrier).
(Closes: #255464)
* Update Brazilian Portuguese debconf template translations (thanks, André
Luís Lopes). (Closes: #255963)

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-5) unstable; urgency=low
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Re-run debconf-updatepo to get templates.pot and po files in sync with
debconf template changes in 4.3.0.dfsg.1-3.
* Update Greek debconf template translations (thanks, Konstantinos
Margaritis). (Closes: #251509)
* Grab updates to XKB data from XFree86 CVS, mostly from 2003-05, with a
couple of later updates (none later than 2003-12-18). Remove supserseded
portion of patch #013. Adjust offsets in patch #084. Update MANIFEST
files and ship new chicony, ibm/thinkpad, and omnibook XKB geometry files.
+ Small fixes in keyboard maps:
- add an explicit type declaration in level3(ralt_switch)
(Bugzilla #225, Siamus S Ciardhuain);
- fix wrong group number in Russian keyboard map (Ivan Pascal).
+ Add missing letters to Ukrainian phonetic keyboard map (Andriy Rysin).
+ Add workaround for problems that arise when in multi-layout map
different modifier keysyms share the same key (Ivan Pascal).
+ Small fix for Italian keyboard map (Sebastiano Vigna).
+ Update Tamil keyboard map (Thuraiappah Vaseeharan).
+ Fixes and updates for XKB keyboard maps:
- add asciitilde to Swedish 'nodeadkeys' map (Bugzilla #291).
- add map for true Romanian keyboard (Bugzilla #300, Manfred Pohler).
- add EuroSign to "us_intl" keyboard map (Bugzilla #309, Paul Bolle).
- fix some keys in Armenian 'phonetic' layout (Bugzilla #313, Ani).
- add some geometry files (Alexander Pohoyda).
- some cosmetic changes.
+ Fixes for XKB keyboard maps:
- fix Meta, Super, Hyper keysyms interpretation
+ Fixes and updates for XKB keyboard maps:
- Add to 'us' keymap backslash key that can be rewritten in other
layouts (Bugzilla #976, B?rre Gaup). (Closes: #237583)
* Grab latest version of XTerm (#190) from Thomas Dickey's website. Check
for license contamination from XFree86 CVS, and document findings in patch
annotation (short story: there is none). Resync patch #907.
+ Fix problem responding to session management events, e.g., which would
make logging out very slow (patch by Eddy De Greef, Debian #233883).
(Closes: #233883)
+ Do not call xim_real_init() if openIm resource is false (Debian #249025).
(Closes: #249025)
* Update Czech debconf template translations (thanks, Miroslav Kure).
(Closes: #251681)
* Attempt to mitigate serious DRI performance problems on Rage 128 chips by
retrying CCE idle commands until the timeout is reached (thanks, Daniel
Jacobowitz!). (Closes: #223089)
* Grab missing part of updated XVideo (Xv) server-side implementation from
XFree86 CVS as of 2003-04-30. Update module loader to export the new
symbols xf86XVCopyYUV12ToPacked and xf86XVCopyPacked to drivers. Thanks
to Michel Dänzer for diagnosing the problem. (Closes: #251307)
* Add -s, --stdout option to dexconf, and document this new option in its
manpage. This option instructs dexconf to write the generated
configuration file to standard output.
* Modify xvfb-run to create a temporary directory (respecting $TMPDIR) in
addition to a temporary file for the X authority file; this way we do not
have to worry about whether xauth(1x) manages the authority file in a
secure fashion. Also, if the user specifies an authority file to use, do
not create it or remove it. Document these changes in behavior in
xvfb-run's manual page.
* Modify Xsession to always append to the error file, closing a temporary
file race condition window if it has to fall back to using tempfile(1) to
create an X session error file. Because it always appends now, log the
fact that the session has started, the username, and the date to the X
session error file once it is successfully opened. Document this change
in behavior in Xsession(5).
* Update Xsession(5) manpage to document the file specifications of the X
session "scriptlets" that are shipped by default. Make other cosmetic and
stylistic improvements.
* Reduce susceptibility of tempfile(1)-using maintainer scripts to temporary
file race conditions by only appending to temporary files created by
tempfile, instead of recreating them with the shell redirection operator.
Make xserver-xfree86 postinst script use new --stdout option of dexconf,
and increase versioned dependency of xserver-xfree86 and
xserver-xfree86-dbg on xserver-common accordingly. (Thanks to Andrew
Suffield for pointing out this problem.)
* Fix XFree86 X server's PCI bus support code to be able to cope with both
Linux 2.4 and Linux 2.6 styles of organization for /proc/bus/pci, checking
for the 2.6 style first (thanks, Daniel Seyffer and Ciaran McCreesh).
(Closes: #225526)
* Modify xserver-xfree86's config script to be more paranoid and mistrustful
of Discover. Store standard error from checking for the installed version
of Discover instead of discarding it, and if this fails, report Discover's
error output to the user and trap the failure instead of permitting it to
break us. (Thanks to Kevin B. McCarty for identifying the cause of these
mysterious failures; see #251690 and #252348. Thanks also to the libcurl2
maintainer for the reminder that "The issue isn't whether you're
paranoid...The issue is whether you're paranoid enough." [Max Peltier])
(Closes: #149586)
* Expand patch #104 to prevent 64-bit addressing modes from being used when
they should not be on UltraSPARC Linux.
* Enhance xserver-xfree86's config script to be able to handle the new
output format of lspci, which reports the PCI domain information as well.
Retain support for the older lspci format, and if the output format isn't
recognized at all, issue a warning and do not set a default answer for the
BusID debconf question. (Closes: #251568)
* Update xserver-xfree86's config script and debconf templates file to
support "1280x1024 @ 60Hz" in the list of modes the user can select to
configure the monitor characteristics using the "medium method".
* Fix and enhance Bus ID validation code in xserver-xfree86's config script
to recognize all bus types and corresponding ID formats supported by
XFree86 (ISA, PCI, SBUS). Update template descriptions accordingly.
(Closes: #251808)
* Add "bug" script for xlibmesa-dri package to attempt to automatically
gather useful information when people report problems with DRI/3D
acceleration. Ship this script in the xlibmesa-dri package where
reportbug will find it. Thanks to Michel Dänzer for his suggestions.
* Fix bug in sessreg such that it assumes hostnames in utmp entries are
unique in the last four characters. Rectify this problem by hashing the
entire hostname field from the utmp entry, so that we can tell unlike
hostnames apart with much greater reliability. There is still a
possiblility of one hash collision in 2^32. Apply patch by Maximiliano
Curia and Damián Viano, using a public-domain hash algorithm by Bob
Jenkins. Thanks also to Margarita Manterola for helping to steer this
ship into port. (Closes: #229785)
* Fix problem with numbers and symbols being un-typable in the Lithuanian
keymap (patch by Mantas Kriaučiūnas via Vytautas Lukenskas).
(Closes: #247387)
* Fix a few problems with the U.K. Macintosh keyboard layout:
+ Map <TLDE> key to "section, plusminus".
+ Map <LSGT> key to "quoteleft, asciitilde".
+ Map AltGr+<AE02> to "EuroSign".
+ Include group(switch) symbols so that the already-defined mapping
of AltGr+<AE03) to "numbersign" can be used.

* Implement XkbOption "compose:caps" (make the Caps Lock key a compose key,
a.k.a. Multi_key), courtesy of Andrew Suffield. (Closes: #251310)
* Update Catalan debconf template translations (thanks, Ivan Vilata i
Balaguer). (Closes: #253484)

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-3) unstable; urgency=low
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Fix breakage of NumLock under XKB, caused by crack-addled patch that
warped the XKB types/basic file 7 years backwards in time.
(Closes: #251119)
* Rework xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver debconf logic.
+ Attempt to populate driver choices by scanning filesystem first.
+ observe() if we do not find any.
+ Set default driver on an architecture-specific basis. Use vga for
alpha; vesa for amd64, hurd-i386, and i386; and fbdev for everyone else,
except mips and mipsel boxen that report themselves as "SGI Ind*"
machines via /proc/cpuinfo, for which we default to newport.
(Closes: #226193, #249614)
* Update xserver-xfree86/config/device/bus_id logic.
+ Add comments describing why we don't default to a blank answer all the
time.
+ Use "1" as the default answer on systems that identify themselves as
"SGI Indigo2" machines via /proc/cpuinfo.
+ Update template description to tell SGI Indigo2 XL users to specify "1"
for the BusID.
* Move XDeviceTimeCoord(3x) manpage from libx11-dev to libxi-dev, where it
belongs. Make libxi-dev conflict/replace libx11-dev (<< 4.3.0.dfsg.1-3)
so that upgrades proceed smoothly. Thanks to Stephen Kitt for identifying
this problem. (Closes: #233839)

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* Fix 30xfree86-common_xresources Xsession script to check for existence of
xrdb command before attempting to execute it, and warn if it is not found
(thanks, Ryan Murray). (Closes: #242485)
* Fix shell scriptlets in Xsession.d to use shell's && and || operators
instead of test(1)'s -a and -o operators, since the former is
POSIX-compliant and the latter is not.
* Add support for the AMD64 architecture (thanks, Andreas Jochens!).
(Closes: #240889)
* Grab updated list of PCI IDs from XFree86 CVS as of 2003-10-30. Remove
superseded parts of patches #030a, #030b, #099.

#5645, Björn Augustsson, Marc La France).
+ XvExtension driver cleanups (Marc La France).
+ Fix precision problems in xf86XVClipVideoHelper (Marc La France).
* Backport XFree86 X server ATI driver (including Rage 128 and Radeon
sub-drivers) from XFree86 CVS as of 2004-02-11. Drop superseded patches
#030[a-h], #048, #049, #085, and #099. Add patch #030 which fixes driver
to work with not-backported overhaul of X server's region macros. Resync
patches #022, #024, #025, #027, #069, #079, #450, #451, and #600.
+ adds support for Radeon IGP320; Radeon IGP330/340/350; Radeon 7000 IGP;
Radeon 9100; Radeon 9500; Radeon 9000 IGP; Radeon 9200; Radeon Mobility
M9+; Radeon 9600; Radeon 9800; Radeon 9800XT
+ add display bandwidth calculation routine to Radeon driver to fix
flickering/tearing display problem (Closes: #218169)
+ fixes Radeon register initialization for RGB offset to fix the
"milky-screen" problem (Closes: #234025)
+ radeon driver now supports "ForceMinDotClockOption" (Closes: #240581)
* Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-11-23) a fix to a problem resolving hostnames
of indirect entries in xdm's Xaccess file. Resync patch #002.
(Closes: #245044)
* Update (from XFree86 CVS, 2003-12-18) the XFree86 X server's PCI bus

+ Be a little more precise about differentiating between active and
inactive non-video PCI resources (Marc La France).
+ Fix bug in detection of multi-function PCI devices (Marc La France, in
partial resolution of Bugzilla #574).
+ Rip out incorrect limits on the number of PCI buses an ix86 chipset can
handle and implement an improved solution for avoiding "phantom" PCI
buses (Marc La France, Bugzilla #604).
* Add dependencies on libxext-dev, libxi-dev, and xlibs-static-dev to
libx11-dev, and explain why in the latter's extended description. Thanks
to Filip Van Raemdonck for noticing this problem. (Closes: #247525)
* Backport XFre86 X server VIA driver from XFree86 CVS HEAD as of
2004-02-12. This driver adds support for the VIA CLE266 and related
northbridge integrated chipsets, typically found in VIA EPIA-M Mini-ITX
systems. Add patch #048 (not from XFree86 CVS) to enable the driver in
the build. (Thanks, Adam Conrad!)
* Add package infrastructure in debian/ directory for the new VIA
driver. (Thanks, Adam Conrad!)
+ Add "via" to DRIVER_LIST for hurd-i386 and i386 in
xserver-xfree86.config.in.
+ Add /usr/X11R6/lib/{modules/drivers/via_drv.o,man/man4/via.4x}
to xserver-xfree86.install.{hurd-,}i386 and MANIFEST.{hurd-,}i386.
* Grab latest version of Thomas Winischhofer's SiS driver for the XFree86 X
server from his website as of 2004-05-10.
+ display should no longer "melt" on SiS 630ST (Closes: #245249)
+ SiS 330 (Xabre) support improved and should no longer hang system
(Closes: #246087)
* Stop shipping the "Xterm Control Sequences" document in the xspecs
package; ship it only in xterm. Add HTML version of this document to the
xterm package. Update xterm's extended description to mention the
availability of this document.
* Grab latest version of XTerm from Thomas Dickey's website. Revert
inconsequential changes merged from XFree86 CVS after 2004-02-13 that
could conceivably be under the XFree86 1.1 license's terms.
+ When deriving bold fontname from normal fontname, use the normal font's
average width to avoid for example selecting 7x13bold from an 8x13
normal font. (Closes: #107769)
+ Modify xtermAddInput() to use the complete set of default keyboard
translations so that one can use shifted pageup, wheel mouse, etc.,
while the mouse pointer is over the scrollbar. (Closes: #178812)
+ Improve description of utf8 resource in manpage. (Closes: #179407)
+ Correct comment in terminfo file regarding modifier used for kDC.
(Closes: #189764)
+ Correct typo in example for character classes in xterm manpage.
(Closes: #198910)
+ Add translation to ASCII of commonly-used characters that groff
translates to Unicode, when the font in use does not provide the
corresponding glyphs. (Closes: #219551)
+ Add a limit check to ScrnTstWrapped() (XFree86 Bugzilla #981).
(Closes: #222530)
+ Modify uxterm script to interpret help and version options so xterm does
not always create a window when the user requests this information.
(Closes: #223926)
+ Modify initialization of terminal colors, e.g., mouse pointer and text
cursor, to treat XtDefaultForeground and XtDefaultBackground values as
the actual foreground and background colors of the terminal rather than
white and black. (Closes: #241717)
* XTerm's manual page now accurately documents the default set of VT
terminal colors used in the XTerm-color app-defaults file. (Upstream
adopted Debian's changes.) (Closes: #247705)
* Stop using an Xaw7 gradient for the backgrounds of the xterm menus; it
produces an unappealing effect if the menus are configured to use a larger
font than the stock configuration (also, xterm has added items to some
menus since I last calculated the gradient size and I can't be bothered to
do it again).
* If the X server is capable of color and has more than 8 planes of color
depth available, set the menu colors to gray15 on antique white, and
customize the appearance VT widget's scrollbar. Otherwise, do not eat up
precious entries in the color palette.
* Define the "xterm-debian" terminal type in the termcap and terminfo files
as an alias for "xterm-new" instead of "xterm-xfree86", reflecting
upstream change.
* Update references to Debian Policy Manual to cite the correct section for
backspace key handling.
* Ship the new README.i18n document in /usr/share/doc/xterm.
* Grab a couple of minor documentation-related fixes from XFree86 CVS.
+ There's no config/util/rman.man (Peter Stromberg). [Matthieu Herrb]
From XFree86 CVS 2003-04-07. Delete superseded patch #006.
+ One xieperf reference left over. Noticed by ISHIKAWA Mutsumi. Thanks.
[Matthieu Herrb] From XFree86 CVS 2003-04-14.
* Grab a fix to the XFree86 X server chips driver from XFree86 CVS
2003-04-04.
+ Fixed DPMS problem on C&T 69000 due to incorrect LCD flag (Bugz: 101,
Egbert Eich).
* Grab updates to XKB documentation and code from XFree86 CVS.
+ Fix typo in XKB README.config file. (Egbert Eich, 2003-04-07)
+ Fix xkbcomp crash with some combinations of layouts in a multi-layout
keyboard map (Ivan Pascal). (2003-04-19)
* Grab updates to XKB data from XFree86 CVS, none later than 2003-04-30.
Resync offsets in patches #082 and #084. Update MANIFEST files and
xlibs.install to recognize and ship new XKB symbols files hr_US, th_pat,
and th_tis.
+ Add Thai (Pattachote) and Thai (TIS-820.2538) keymap support as layouts
"th_pat" and "th_tis", respectively. [Theppitak Karoonboonyanan, Visanu
Euarchukiati, Supphachoke Santiwichaya, David Dawes]
+ Fix a typo that causes the 'yu' keymap to emit a lower case 'L' in both
shift states (#A.1675, Nikola Smolenski). [David Dawes]
+ Add xkb symbols layout for BTC 5090 internet keyboard (Bugz: 57, Jack
Angel). [Egbert Eich]
+ Add keys missed in multi-layout keyboard maps: LSGT key in [...]
'old','phonetic' variants in Armenian map (Ivan Pascal).
+ Update Italian keyboard map (Bugzilla #109, Sebastiano Vigna). [Ivan
Pascal]
+ Fix the <KPDL> mapping for the hr XKB map, and add an hr_US map
(#A.1726, Vlatko Kosturjak). [David Dawes]
+ Keyboard maps cleanups, including:
- fix incorrect aliases in a keycodes file.
- remove unneeded type declarations.
- remove ThirdLevel modifier key descriptions in maps and replace them
with references to a common one in 'level3' file.
- some cosmetic changes.
(Ivan Pascal). [David Dawes]
* Apply Michel Dänzer's fix for Radeon driver trying forever to initialize
card if card's firmware is not loaded. Add patch #006. Resync patches
#024, #079. (Closes: #246901)
* Add Turkish debconf template translations (thanks, Osman Yüksel).
(Closes: #248144)
* Adjust package relationships of libxrandr2 and libxrandr2-dbg so that they
no longer conflict with and replace xlibs (<< 4.3.0); there are no file
overlaps in these cases (though there are with libxrandr-dev), so such
declarations are spurious. (Closes: #248539)
* Handle failure of "which" command when processing arguments to Xsession,
so that the script is not aborted prematurely (thanks, Oliver Bausinger).
(Closes: #248632)
* Update ARM support patch #315 to add #define guards against more instances
of x86 and legacy VGA I/O code (thanks, Wookey). (Closes: #234808)
* Add dependency of libxp-dev on xlibs-static-dev, since the former's
Print.h #includes the latter's Xauth.h (thanks, Matt Kraai).
(Closes: #249738)
* Remove spurious sourcing of debconf confmodule from maintainer scripts
that do not actually need it (thanks, LaMont Jones). (Closes: #250061)
Changes by Fabio Massimo Di Nitto:
* Update xutils's package description to refer to bdftruncate and ucs2any
programs by their correct names.

xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
Changes by Branden Robinson and Fabio Massimo di Nitto:
* Re-generate .orig tar archive to eliminate files containing object code
with no corresponding source (none of which are actually needed or used by
XFree86 at run time). Add these files to the prune-non-free script.
Update patch #025 to stop patching one of the affected files and add patch
#913 to remove all references to the affected files inside the code
required to build. Update MANIFEST and xserver-xfree86.install files for
alpha, hurd-i386, i386, ia64 and sparc accordingly. Thanks to Nathanael
Nerode for his assistance with this issue. (Closes: #242865)
* Fix SEGV when attempting to use GLX extension on SPARC due to failure of
extension to initialize a Mesa context; patch by Ferris McCormick,
backported from XFree86 CVS 2003-12-08 by Christian Guggenberger,
and updated to build on non-SPARC architectures by Fabio M. Di Nitto.
(Closes: #241331)
Changes by Fabio Massimo di Nitto:
* Quote menu items in Debian menu files (quiets Lintian warning).
Changes by Branden Robinson:
* The tar achive within the .orig tar archive (stored this way due to the
requirements of dbs) has been re-packed using gzip instead of bzip2. This
increases the size of the .orig tar archive by 10MB (a 21% increase), but
speeds unpacking of the stored tar achive from 2m49s to 39s on a 400MHz
PowerPC 750 (G3) processor with 512MB of RAM.
* Add FAQ entry about the <LSGT> key problem. Edit news item about the
<LSGT> problem to tidy up the wording a little and direct people to the
FAQ for more information.
* Make xev flush standard output after processing each event, since its
exit(0) is unreachable code (thanks, Bill Currie). (Closes: #238638)
* Fix compilation of a.out object loader on uClibc (and possibly other
non-GNU-libc systems) in XFree86 X server by including correct header file
for ntohl() prototype (thanks, Erik Andersen). (Closes: #216806)
* Restore original xdm behavior of interpreting an XDMCP request port of
zero (the default) as an instruction not to open a port at all.
Equivalent code was apparently accidentally deleted in upstream CVS
(thanks, Jeff King). [SECURITY FIX] (CAN-2004-0419) (Closes: #239341)
* Fix cosmetic formatting error in dexconf manpage.
* Improve logging of xdm's script handling in session.c.
+ Make execution of the session program an informational log message (with
LogInfo()), not a Debug() message.
+ Ensure that source()d scripts (Xreset, Xsetup, Xstartup) can be
fopen()ed before invoking runAndWait() on them. If they can, LogInfo()
the fact. If they cannot, LogInfo() that, too, and use _SysErrorMsg()
to report why fopen() failed. (Closes: #219311)
+ Make source() complain using Debug() when it is given a null pointer in
its file argument.
+ For clarity, make source() return from only one location.
* Clean up debian/rules's "not building" logic.
+ Rename NOT_BUILDING_XF86_SERVER to NOT_BUILDING_XFREE86_X_SERVER.
+ Use NOT_BUILDING_XFREE86_X_SERVER, not NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER, to control
whether build-tree/xc-xserver-xfree86-dbg is populated and built. This
should speed up builds on the s390 architecture.
+ Drop now-unused NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER variable entirely.
* Stop shipping the generated files encodings.dir, fonts.cache-1, fonts.dir,
and fonts.scale in the xfonts-scalable package. (Closes: #238555)
* If defoma-app and fontconfig's defoma script are available, invoke
"defoma-app update fontconfig" on package configuration and removal;
otherwise, use fc-cache as before. (Closes: #238797)
* Stop setting the debconf-configured default amount of video RAM to 8MB for
users of the i810 driver; in XFree86 4.3.0, the i810 driver defaults to
8MB internally, and the i830 driver defaults to 32MB if DRI is enabled,
and 8MB otherwise. (Closes: #238340)
* If using Discover 1.x to scan for hardware in the XFree86 X server
packages' config scripts, pass the discover command the
"--disable=serial,parallel" option to avoid long delays on some systems.
We're certain to not find a VGA device on those buses anyway. Also,
discard standard error output from discover 1.x. (Closes: #237046)
* If using Discover 2.x to scan for hardware in the XFree86 X server
packages' config scripts, invoke the discover command such that an
abnormal exit on its part does not crash the script.
* Grab fixes to the X server's DIX events processing from XFree86 CVS
(none later than 2004-01-23).
+ Fix a potential hang in Xinerama caused by an uninitialized
sprite.hotShape. [Mark Vojkovich]
+ Build fix for when XKB is disabled but XINPUT isn't. Reported by Paul
Jarc. [Marc Aurele La France]
+ Fix a crash when xkb is disabled. [Matthieu Herrb] (Closes: #238407)
* Apply patch by Emmanuel Thomé and Ole Rohne to enable resume from suspend
level S3 on Dell D600 and D800 laptops; when the VT is re-entered, the
Radeon chipset's memory size is queried, and if zero is returned, the
chipset is re-POSTed via the int10 interface. (Closes: #234575)
* Implement IsolateDevice and SingleCard layout options for XF86Config, and
-isolateDevice command-line flag for XFree86 X server. Useful for
multi-card setups where different X servers run on each card (thanks,
Andreas Schuldei). (Closes: #207543)
* Correct the package description of libx11-6-dbg to accurately identify the
location of Xlib's loadable modules (thanks, Chung-chieh Shan).
(Closes: #239988)
* Fix the latin(type3) PC keyboard map to override the AB10 key definition
inherited from the basic layout, mapping the key to "minus, underscore"
rather than "slash, question". This enables the al (Albanian), hr
(Croatian), pl2 (Polish QWERTZ), si (Slovenian), and yu (Yugoslavian)
layouts to inherit this key mapping (though al overrides it). Thanks to
Josip Rodin for reporting this bug and testing the fix. (Closes: #236604)
* Update libxmuu-dev's package description to explain why it does not ship
header files.
* German keyboards using the "nodeadkeys" variant should produce an
apostrophe, not an acute accent, when <AE12> is pressed. This change is
also consistent with the existing xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/de file
(thanks, Andreas Metzler). (Closes: #241127)
* Demote x-window-system-dev's priority to "extra" since it depends on
library -dbg packages, which are themselves of extra priority (see Debian
Policy section 2.5).
* Add Fabio Massimo Di Nitto to list of package uploaders.
* Fix update-fonts-scale to not attempt to manipulate temporary files that
do not exist. (Closes: #243000)
* Enhance update-fonts-scale in several small ways:
+ Improve comments.
+ Update copyright notice.
+ On startup, query the terminal with stty if $COLUMNS is not set.
+ Send all diagnostic messages to standard error output in message()
function.
+ Add observe() function for debugging diagnostics.
+ Rename error() to die() and update invocations of it accordingly.
+ Quote shell variables more religiously when expanding them.
+ Use consistent syntax style.
+ Update Vim modeline.
* Improve update-fonts-scale(8) manual page:
+ Update copyright notice.
+ Fix minor wording issues.
+ Add "ENVIRONMENT" section documenting effects of $COLUMNS and $DEBUG.
+ Add a preface to the "DIAGNOSTICS" section.
+ Document the new "index references nonexistent font file" diagnostic.
* Update xdm.options(5) and xfs.options(5) manual pages to instruct the user
to use the invoke-rc.d command instead of invoking packages' init scripts
directly.
* Improve xfs package's maintainer scripts:
+ Always start the daemon on package install (as opposed to upgrade).
(Closes: #241539)
+ Replace xfs "upgrade" flag file with two distinct ones, "install" and
"daemon-not-stopped". Create install flag file when preinst script is
invoked with "install" argument; remove in postinst, and in postrm when
invoked with "abort-install" or "abort-upgrade" argument. Create
"daemon-not-stopped" flag file in prerm script if the daemon is not
stopped with invoke-rc.d; remove in postinst, and in postrm when invoked
with "abort-upgrade" argument.
+ Duplicate the postinst's daemon logic in the postrm when invoked with
the "abort-upgrade" argument; this way the daemon is restarted if it was
stopped for upgrade, but the upgrade failed.
+ Pass package name literally to update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d; quiets
lintian warning.
+ Call db_stop before update-rc.d; if the latter spews to stdout, it can
confuse debconf.
+ Use shell's && and || operators instead of test(1)'s -a and -o
operators, since the former is POSIX-compliant and the latter is not.
* Disable RandR extension support in siliconmotion driver when the driver's
"Rotate" option is used (thanks, Jim Paris). (Closes: #241286)
* Implement XkbOption "grp:sclk_toggle" (pressing Scroll Lock toggles the
key group), courtesy of Michal Kaspar. (Closes: #242209)
* Provide instructions on how to read the FAQ in every README.Debian file.
* Add dependency of libxtst-dev on libxi-dev; XTest.h #includes XInput.h for
a structure definition, though objects that link against libXtst don't
necessarily link against libXi (thanks, Glenn Maynard). (Closes: #242830)
* Update list of available video drivers on each architecture in
xserver-xfree86's config script.
* Migrate users of the GPM repeater (/dev/gpmdata) to the IntelliMouse
protocol and make this the only protocol supported in debconf for that
mouse port. Document and justify migration in NEWS file.
(Closes: #233933)
* Tidy up relationships with now-vanished xlib6g and xlib6g-dev packages.
This enables people to keep the versions of these packages that were
harmless pseudopackages on the system.
+ Version xfree86-common's and xutils's replacement of xlib6g-dev at <<
4.0 (xlib6g-dev shipped no files after that).
+ Version xlibs's conflict with and replacement of xlib6g and xlib6g-dev
at << 4.0. (Closes: #233818)
+ Version xlibs-static-dev's conflict with and replacement of xlib6g-dev
at << 4.0.
* Re-order diagnostic output of xserver-xfree86 bug script to be skimmable
more quickly (in Branden's opinion, anyway).
* Fix dexconf to not write an empty line to the end of generated
XF86Config{,-4} files.
* Rename shell-lib.sh's safe_debconf() function to run(); there's no reason
to imply it's useful only for debconf commands. Update all script
invocations of safe_debconf() to run().
* Source the debconf confmodule before setting variables local to
maintainer scripts; the way confmodule works causes the values of any
unexported variables already set to be lost (continuation of incomplete or
regressed fix from 4.2.1-10).
* Fix up xfree86-common postinst and postrm scripts in minor ways.
+ Pass package name literally to update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d; quiets
lintian warning.
+ Use shell's && and || operators instead of test(1)'s -a and -o
operators, since the former is POSIX-compliant and the latter is not.
* Improve xdm package's maintainer scripts:
+ Add capability to start the daemon on package install, controlled by the
"start-on-install" flag in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.options (which defaults
off). Update xdm.options(5) manpage to document this option and explain
why it defaults off.
+ Replace "upgrade" flag file with two distinct ones, "install" and
"daemon-not-stopped". Create install flag file when preinst script is
invoked with "install" argument; remove in postinst, and in postrm when
invoked with "abort-install" or "abort-upgrade" argument. Create
"daemon-not-stopped" flag file in prerm script if the daemon is not
stopped with invoke-rc.d; remove in postinst, and in postrm when invoked
with "abort-upgrade" argument.
+ Make the logic deciding whether or not to start the daemon more
sophisticated. After determining the user's intentions via the
xdm.options file, check to see if the daemon is already running, and
record its pid. If it isn't, check xdm's Xservers file to see if we
would be starting an X server on the current display. If either of
these is the case, refuse to start the daemon and issue a warning
message explaining why.
+ Duplicate relevant logic from the postinst script logic in the postrm
when invoked with the "abort-upgrade" argument; this way the daemon is
restarted if it was stopped for upgrade, but the upgrade failed.
+ Pass package name literally to update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d; quiets
lintian warning.
+ Call db_stop before update-rc.d; if the latter spews to stdout, it can
confuse debconf.
+ Use shell's && and || operators instead of test(1)'s -a and -o
operators, since the former is POSIX-compliant and the latter is not.
* Migrate xdm's PAM configuration to the New World Order. (Closes: #231589)
+ Use @include common-{auth,account,session,password} to load pam_unix.so
instead of doing so directly.
+ Load pam_nologin.so as a requisite auth module.
+ Load pam_limits.so as a required session module.
+ Make xdm depend on libpam-modules and libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-13.1).
* Fix problem with DVI displays connected to ATI Radeon 9200 cards not

xfree86 (4.3.0-7) unstable; urgency=medium
* Urgency due to fix for FTBFS. Yes -- I too am begging for it to stop.
* Fix default library build defines to not build the (X)Render, Xft, Xft1,
or Xcursor libraries if BuildLibraries is not "YES". This prevents
gratuitous library builds when, e.g., BuildServersOnly is set to YES.
Clarify and improve related patch annotation. Also, fix the Imake
configuration for Debian GNU/Linux, the Hurd, and GNU/FreeBSD to not force
BuildXft1Library to YES unconditionally. These changes resolve a FTBFS in
environments where libxext-dev is not installed, since the Xft1 library
was getting gratuitously built during the debugging server build, and
couldn't find the Xext library to link against. As a minor bonus, this
should speed the build up a little, since a library that isn't needed is
no longer being built.

using the libraries in this package, there is no shared counterpart for
the libraries in this package upon which to declare an exact versioned

xfree86 (4.3.0-0pre1v5) experimental; urgency=low
* Grab fixes to upstream CVS xf-4_3-branch since last pull.
- debian/patches/000_post430.diff:
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/sgml/LICENSE.sgml,
xc/programs/xdm/{genauth.c,prngc.c}):
Grab licenses clarifications from trunk. (Matthieu Herrb)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/LICENSE):
update formatted docs (Matthieu Herrb)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i810/{common.h,i810.h,
i810.man,i830.h,i830_cursor.c,i830_dri.c,i830_dri.h,i830_driver.c,
i830_memory.c,i830_video.c}):
Fix some i830+ VT switch/exit crashes (David Dawes, Egbert Eich).
- debian/patches/002_xdm_fixes.diff: resynced
- debian/patches/056_i810_make_i830_usable.diff: resynced
* Update Debian copyright file to resync with update to upstream LICENSE
file (new BSD-style licenses from Theodore Ts'o, Theo de Raadt, and
Damien Miller).
- debian/copyright
* Undocument the restriction on loading both freetype and xtt modules in
the XFree86 X server's debconf questions, since this restriction no longer
exists in XFree86 4.3. Enable the xtt module by default.
- debian/xserver-xfree86.templates
* Update xlibs and xlibs-data's package descriptions to clarify that X
Keyboard Extension (XKB) data is in xlibs, but other
architecture-independent data is in xlibs-data. The XKB data has not
moved because dpkg supports no mechanism for migrating conffiles between
packages, and it is unacceptable for people to be spuriously shown dpkg's
changed-conffile prompt dozens of times when upgrading from versions of
xlibs prior to 4.3.0.
- debian/control
* Correct mispelling of forthcoming package name in xlibs's shlibs file; the
package containing libXmuu.so.1 will be called "libxmuu1", not "libxmuu6".
- debian/xlibs.shlibs
* Move correction of old /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale symlink problem from
xlibs package to xlibs-data, and convert from simple remove-in-preinst
approach to prepare-preinst/commit-postinst/rollback-postrm model.
Correct mis-self-identification of xlibs-data's maintainer scripts (caused
by sloppy cut-and-pasting), correct and update their copyright
information, and use debhelper to ship the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default directory instead of creating it behind
the packaging system's back in xlibs-data's postinst.

* Patch Xlib (CrGlCur.c) to search harder for an Xcursor library. Not
everybody has symlinks on their system for compile-time linking of objects
with libXcursor. Attempt to find "libXcursor.so.1" first, then (per the
existing code), fall back to "libXcursor.so" and finally "libXcursor".
(Closes: #204358)
- debian/patches/099a_improve_search_for_libXcursor.diff
* Update the extended descriptions of packages that depend on cpp-3.2 to
explain why they use cpp in general, and why cpp-3.2 in particular.
- debian/control
* Move unstripped versions of the Mesa DRI modules from the (renamed)
xlibmesa3-gl-dbg package to the new package xlibmesa-dri-dbg.

Dennis). (Alan Hourihane)

'Option "VideoRAM"', eliminating the need for an external program. Grab a
couple of other small fixes from HEAD, and integrate this with patch #056.

[Daniel Stone]
* Add package relationships with xlibs-data and xutils where needed, and
explain them in packages' extended descriptions.
- debian/control:
+ xbase-clients depends on xlibs-data: the bitmap, editres, viewres,
xbiff, xcalc, xconsole, xditview, xedit, xf86cfg, xman, xsetroot, and
xsm programs use bitmap images provided by the xlibs-data package.
+ xmh depends on xlibs-data: the xmh program uses bitmap images provided
by the xlibs-data package.
+ xterm recommends xutils: the uxterm command requires the luit program
from the xutils package.
+ xterm depends on xlibs-data: the xterm program uses bitmap images
provided by the xlibs-data package.
+ xutils suggests xlibs-data: the luit program requires locale
information from the xlibs-data package (add luit to list of programs
in xutils's extended description while we're at it).
* In maintainer scripts, query the terminal to establish a default number of
columns to use for displaying messages to the user. This is used only as
a fallback in the event the COLUMNS variable is not set. Change from
using fold to format messages to fmt, so we can get indentation on wrapped
lines, making them easier to read. Remove unused message_nonl() function.
- debian/shell-lib.sh
* Move correction of old /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale symlink problem from
xlibs package to xlibs-data, and convert from simple remove-in-preinst
approach to prepare-preinst/commit-postinst/rollback-postrm model.
Correct mis-self-identification of xlibs-data's maintainer scripts (caused
by sloppy cut-and-pasting), correct and update their copyright
information, and use debhelper to ship the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default directory instead of creating it behind

* Split xlibs package into one package per shared library, keeping only the
XKB data files in xlibs (see above). The XRX plugin
(/usr/X11R6/lib/libxrx.so.6.3) and its manpage are being dropped entirely.
- debian/xlibs.install: stop shipping everything but the XKB data
- debian/xlibs.{dirs,links,postinst.in,postrm.in,preinst.in,shlibs,
shlibs.dummy}: deleted
- debian/rules: eliminate special dh_shlibdeps handling for xlibs package;
add special dh_shlibdeps handling for libdps1 and libx11-6 (see below)
- debian/scripts/manifest-install-reconcile: add libxrx shared library and
object to list of files expected to be unshipped
- debian/shell-lib.sh: define new functions to aid maintainer scripts of
new libraries
+ register_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so(): add /usr/X11R6/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf
if needed
+ deregister_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so(): remove /usr/X11R6/lib from
/etc/ld.so.conf when no shared libraries left in directory

libxv1}.shlibs: new; provide shlibs file, specifying alternative
versioned dependencies on older versions of xlibs (except in the case of
libxv1, for which a shared version did not exist in XFree86 prior to
4.3)
- debian/{libdps1,libx11-6}.shlibs.local: add special local shlibs files
for use during the package build so that libdps1 and libx11-6 do not get
spurious self-dependencies; libdps1 ships three related shared
libraries, and libx11-6 ships loadable modules for Xlib that reference
symbols in Xlib -- both of these cases confuse dpkg-shlibdeps (via
dh_shlibdeps)
- debian/{libice6,libsm6,libx11-6,libxext6,libxft1,libxi6,libxmu6,
libxmuu1,libxp6,libxpm4,libxrandr2,libxt6,libxtrap6,libxtst6,
libxv1}.{postinst,postrm}: new; call register_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so(),
deregister_x_lib_dir_with_ld_so(), and ldconfig as appropriate
- debian/{libx11-6,libxt6}.{preinst,postinst,postrm}: migrate
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/{app-defaults,xkb} prepare/commit/rollback handling
from xlibs maintainer scripts, now deceased
- debian/libx11-6.links: migrated from xlibs.links for
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb symlink
- debian/libxt6.dirs: migrated from xlibs.dirs for /etc/X11/app-defaults
directory
- debian/libxt6.links: migrated from xlibs.links for
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults symlink
- debian/control: update package data to reflect split
+ add stanzas for new packages libice6, libsm6, libx11-6, libxext6,
libxft1, libxi6, libxmu6, libxmuu1, libxp6, libxpm4, libxrandr2,
libxt6, libxtrap6, libxtst6, xlibs-data
+ libx11-6 depends on xfree86-common (>> 4.3.0) and xlibs-data; needs
xlibs-data for locale data and X error and keysym databases
+ xlibs is now a transitional package depending on the packages into
which it split
+ sanitize xlibs's conflicts and replaces relationships by removing
versioned conflicts on withdrawn packages (except where they continue
to be Provided by still-existing packages)
+ xlibs is now an architecture-independent package
+ xlibs no longer provides libxpm4
+ rewrite xlibs's short and extended descriptions
* Split xlibs-dbg package into one package per shared library.

+ xlibs-dbg is now a pseudopackage depending on the packages into which
it split
+ update x-window-system-dev to depend on the packages split from
xlibs-dbg instead of xlibs-dbg itself
- debian/rules:
+ don't dh_strip new -dbg packages
+ let dh_strip have its wicked way with xlibs-dbg, which no longer has a
payload
* Split xlibs-dev package into one package per shared library, plus separate
packages for Proxy Management protocol headers (pm-dev), X protocol
headers (x-dev), and libraries that exist only in static form
(xlibs-static-dev). Note that there is no libxft1-dev package; this is
deliberate. libxft1 is obsolete and libxft2 (packaged separately from
XFree86) should be used instead.

+ update dependencies for xlibs-static-pic based on actual linkage of
the libraries within it

xlibs-static-dev for details
+ xlibs-dev is now a pseudopackage depending on the packages into which
it split
+ update x-window-system-dev to depend on the packages split from
xlibs-dev instead of xlibs-dev itself
* The above package splits collectively resolve a request in the Debian Bug
Tracking System to do so. (Closes: #172550)
* debian/patches/099b_Xft_FreeType_2.1.7_build_fix.diff:
+ Patch XFree86's internal copies of the Xft library to enable building
against FreeType 2.1.7; fixes FTBFS.
* Remove ${shlibs:Depends} substvar from dependencies of library -dbg
packages; -dbg packages already declare an exact versioned dependency on
their non-debugging counterparts, and using this substvar can lead to
duplicate package relationships and lintian warnings.
* Fix incorrect symlink to Xrender.h during package build. [ISHIKAWA
Mutsumi]
- debian/rules
* Update libdps1's extended description to clarify the state of server-side
DPS implementations, and stop referring to a package that is no longer
shipped in Debian. (Closes: #138883)
- debian/control
* Make x-window-system-dev depend on xlibmesa-gl-dbg and xlibmesa-glu-dbg,
not xlibmesa3-gl-dbg and xlibmesa3-glu-dbg.
- debian/control
* Make the xlibmesa3 pseudopackage "Architecture: any" instead of
"Architecture: all", because its dependencies vary depending on what
architecture it is compiled for (thanks to F:Xlibmesa-gl-Depends).
- debian/control
* Fix encoding of Catalan translations file to not use a codepoint that is
undefined in ISO 8859-15, which prevents the file from being transcoded
from UTF-8 to ISO 8859-15 (thanks, Denis Barbier). (Closes: #223024)

* Add s390-specific debhelper install file for xlibs-static-pic, since s390
doesn't compile the libxf86config object.
- debian/xlibs-static-pic.install.s390: added
* Add s390-specific debhelper install file for xlibs-data, since for some
reason upstream decided s390 doesn't need the cursor themes. s390 doesn't
ship xf86cfg's bitmaps and pixmaps, either.
- debian/xlibs-data.install.s390: added
* Grab fixes to upstream CVS xf-4_3-branch since last pull.
- debian/patches/000_post430.diff:
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Mode.c):
1004. Fixed erronous freeing of DisplayModeRec in xf86DeleteMode()
when deleting the modePool in xf86PruneDriverModes() the
'prev' member has a different meaning for modePool modes than
for ScrnInfoPtr->modes modes where it creates a doubly linked

+ (xc/programs/mkfontscale/mkfontscale.c):
1005. Close freetype fontfile filehandle in mkfontscale, this

(Bugzilla #676, Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino).
+ (xc/lib/X11/imDefIm.c):
[undocumented] Call _XimShutdown(), not XimShutdown(), in

* Provide xlibs-pic pseudopackage to smooth upgrades from Debian 3.0
systems.
- debian/control:
+ add versioning of (<< 4.3.0) to xlibs-static-pic's conflicts and
replaces relationships on xlibs-pic
+ xlibs-static-pic no longer provides xlibs-pic (dpkg does not support
versioned provides)
+ resurrect xlibs-pic as an empty architecture-all pseudopackage in the
oldlibs section which depends on xlibs-static-pic
* Add s390-specific debhelper docs file for xfree86-common, since upstream
doesn't ship the README.dps, RELNOTES, or Versions files when
BuildXF86Server is switched off. Grab these documents from the build-tree
directory instead.
- debian/xfree86-common.docs.s390: added
* Fix regular DRI deadlocks on ia64; patch by John Dennis. [Daniel Stone]
- debian/patches/453_ia64_fix_radeon_dri_deadlock.diff: added
* Change xlibs package's shlibs file to specify alternatives for xlibs
itself, using the names of the packages that xlibs will split into. This
should allow for more in the way of partial upgrades and a smoother
transition for packages depending on the libraries in xlibs.
- debian/xlibs.shlibs
* Rename "stolen from HEAD" XTerm patch to not include the version number of
XTerm in its name.
- debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD_xterm.diff: renamed from
debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD_xterm_177.diff
* Enable building of scanpci utility for m68k architecture, and ship the
executable and its manual page in the xutils package for m68k.
- debian/patches/250_m68k_build_scanpci.diff: patch xfree86.cf to not
exclude scanpci from building if Mc68020Architecture is defined
- debian/MANIFEST.m68k: add scanpci and its manpage
- debian/xutils.install.m68k: deleted; m68k can now use the generic
xutils.install file
* Give patch #453 a more accurate name, since the patch is not
video-chipset-specific in any way (and has to do specifically with the
DRM: Direct Rendering Manager).
- debian/patches/453_ia64_fix_drm_deadlock.diff: renamed from
debian/patches/453_ia64_fix_radeon_dri_deadlock.diff

it into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc, a directory which contains no other files.
Xmodmap is really old tech these days, too.

* Recognize the Radeon 9200 SE (RV280 5964) as any other RV280 chip; also,
fix detection of RV280 5962 and 5963 chips by the ATI driver.
(Closes: #216896)
- debian/patches/099_ati_recognize_radeon_9200_se.diff: new
* Fix build error when XF86DRI macro is undefined. The "pI830" variable
introduced in patch 056 is used unconditionaly, but only declared when
XF86DRI macro is defined. I could only reproduce this error in weird
conditions on which the XF86DRI macro was undefined (probably due to wrong
configuration in gnu.cf (GNU/Hurd)). In any case, the bug is fixed now.

* debian/xserver-xfree86.install.*: ship keyboard(4x) manpage (thanks,
Michel Dänzer)
* Grab all fixes to xf-4_3-branch since 4.3.0 was tagged.
- debian/patches/000_post430.diff: fixes of interest include:
+ fix R300 PLL value (Enrik Berkhan)
+ Fix for possible buffer overflow in _XlcLocaleDirName(). privilegied
binaries ignore the XLOCALEDIR environment variable and are not
vulnerable.

+ Another setjmp fix
+ Fix typo that caused incorrect initialization of xkb memory (John
Heasley).
+ int10 fix for all ix86 non-Linux systems (Marc La France).
+ Another int10 fix. This time for adapters found at PCI:0:0:0. This
fix is particularly important for ZX1-based systems (Marc La France).
+ Fix bug in mode validation that occurs when the XF86Config doesn't
specify any mode or virtual resolution information (Marc La France).
+ Now ShadowComposite correctly clips the refresh box. Fix server crash
when using render outside of the visible screen with shadowfb.
+ fix XFree86ManVersionString in the case of a release.

field in their PCI configuration space (Marc La France).
+ Fix lockup on server reset in radeon driver (Michel Dänzer, Keith
Whitwell).
+ Set Mesa hooks to flush vertices on state changes in Radeon 3D drivers
(Keith Whitwell).
+ Check for NULL tObj in the i830 3D driver's TexEnv function. This
fixes a FlightGear crash (Keith Whitwell).

Freetype.
+ Prevent a SIGFPE with the glint/pm3 driver when attempting to display
an XVideo image less than 8 pixels wide (Måns Rullgård).

performance drops dramatically. Now the performance matches or
exceeds that of the option UseBIOS (Alan Hourihane).
+ Typo fix in radeon driver cursor code, fixes the primary head
switching off when the cursor moves to the secondary head on dualhead
cards (Michel Dänzer)
+ i810/815 depth buffer needs to be a multiple of the tile size. This
fixes 3D corruption near the bottom of the screen at 800x600@16bpp
(Bugzilla #283, Dave Airlie).
+ Fixed Imakefiles so the driver SDK builds again (Sven Luther).
+ Fix XDMCP queries when using getifaddrs() (Bugzilla #277, Joel Ray
Holveck)

when the off-screen memory is heavily fragmented (David Dawes, based
on #5752, Koike Kazuhiko, Chisato Yamauchi).
+ Fixed a crash when _XIMProtoOpenIM(), hich is called through XOpenIM()
API when protocol IM is being set up, fails (Bugzilla #618, Hisashi
MIYASHITA).
+ Don't call FBIOPAN_DISPLAY ioctl with arguments that will cause a
confusing if harmless error (Michel Dänzer)
+ Fixes for potential integer overflows in font libraries. (blexim,
Matthieu Herrb).
+ for integer overflow tests, use SIZE_MAX which is more standard than
SIZE_T_MAX, and default to ULONG_MAX for the case of LP64 systems.
Based on reports by Matthias Scheler and Alan Coopersmith (Bugzilla
#646).
+ Many fixes to xdm:
- use better pseudo-random generators to generate magic cookies,
including EGD-like prng daemons support.
- add support for LISTEN keyworkd in Xaccess
- deal with small memory leaks
- use SIOCGLIFCONF to query network interfaces where available
- fix XDMCP bug that could cause localhost entries in /etc/X0.hosts
to be lost
- add xdm /dev/random handling for Solaris
- fix XDMCP queries on systems using getifaddrs().
(Alan Coopersmith, Marc La France, Oswald Buddenhagen, Matthieu Herrb,
Nicolas JOLY, Jason L. Wright, Joel Ray Holveck).
+ SECURITY: not mentioned in the upstream commit message is a fix for
CAN-2003-0690 (return value of pam_setcred() not checked, which could
conceivably lead to privilege escalation in some configurations)

(Closes: #228408)
- S3 driver now properly restores video mode on VT switch back to X on
Trio 32/64 rev 67 (Closes: #164780)
- ATI/Radeon driver now properly unblanks LCD on Radeon Mobility M7 LW rev

+ New HTML and PostScript documentation (and PDF, seemingly).
+ A few manpage cleanups. (Closes: #80404)

* remove special-case logic in linux.cf that defined "HasLinuxInput" to
"NO" for Mc68020Architecture:
- m68k is now supported by the Linux 2.4.20 kernel (at least in
Debian), so we let this symbol be defined to "YES" just like all the
other architectures. This only really affects the Wacom input driver
and should not cause any regressions. (thanks to James Troup for
pointing out this no-longer-needed conditional)
- patch #003 update
* always disable FontLibSharedFreeType, ensuring similarity between normal
XFree86 server and XFree86 debugging server:

only libraries without a shared version build static-PIC versions, and
then only on systems where PIC info is not included in static ("normal")

Is that why the X server won't start? + How can I tell if it's the X server crashing, or my X session exiting abnormally? - debian/local/FAQ * Fix migration of configuration files from "debconf-managed" to conffile-style management, in that the Xwrapper.config and XF86Config-4 files were marked as locally changed even if there were no changes outside the "debconf markers". Detect this case by searching for lines outside that range which contain anything other than whitespace or comments, and if none are found, treat the config file as handled by the package ("automatic update mode"). This should eliminate some overly aggressive migrations to manual update mode, though people who made changes only within the debconf markers and didn't follow instructions may still be incorrectly placed in automatic mode (that's why copies of the old config files are made when migration is done). Thanks to John R. Daily for bringing this scenario to my attention. (Closes: #214604) - debian/xserver-common.preinst.in - debian/xserver-xfree86.preinst.in * Fix "priority ceiling" logic introduced in xserver-xfree86's config script in 4.2.1-10. We can't just use shell parameter expansion tricks to accomplish this. Implemented new function priority_ceil() which compares its argument, a debconf priority string, to the shell variable PRIORITY_CEILING, another debconf priority string, and returns the lesser of the two. Thanks to Goswin Brederlow for identifying the precise cause of debconf question priority inflation of late. (partially addresses #207537) - debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in * Fix xdm to handle case where alternative X display managers do not provide a "daemon_name" debconf template (which is supposed to contain the file specification of the display manager daemon). If that is true, assume that the package name of the display manager is also the name of the daemon executable, and try to find it with the "which" command. If that fails as well, warn the user that we were unable to update the default X display manager file. - debian/xdm.postinst.in - debian/xdm.prerm.in * Add aliases to upstream locales.alias file for many locales using the "@euro" modifier and the ISO-8859-15 or UTF-8 character sets (thanks, Jean-Christophe Dubacq and Denis Barbier).

Also perform extra sanity check on mdetect output (we expect exactly 2 lines' worth), and do not set the question priority to low just because mdetect succeeds.

-- LaMont Jones <lamont@debian.org> Thu, 2 Oct 2003 10:07:11 -0600
xfree86 (4.2.1-12) unstable; urgency=high
* urgency high due to security fix for font service integer overflow attacks
and xdm's failure to verify return value of pam_setcred() (see below)
* debian/twm.menu-method: correctly escape doublequote characters in menu
entry titles (thanks, Bill Allombert) (Closes: #193759)
* debian/shell-lib.sh: font_update(): ignore requests to run xftcache on the
Speedo directory; it segfaults under certain circumstances that have never
been nailed down, and according to Juliusz Chrobocek, it's pointless to do
this anyway since the Xft library (and FreeType behind it) do not
understand Speedo-format fonts (Closes: #192138)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in: pre-set a reasonable default for users
of the newport driver: depth 8 and resolution 1280x1024 (thanks, Bernhard
R. Link) (Closes: #208500)
* patch #097: new; add Bartosz Zapalowski's patch for supporting wheel mice
with large numbers of buttons; the ZAxisMapping option "pushes up" the
other buttons so that the mouse behaves sanely. This addresses problems
with how the X server parses wheel data from at least some devices that
use the ExplorerPS/2 protocol. (Closes: #166550)
* debian/control: remove build-dependency on libglide3-alpha-dev for alpha
architecture and add alpha-specific build-dependency on libglide3-dev
since Guillem Jover has merged the libglide3-alpha and libglide3 packages
(Closes: #209142)
* debian/control: xlibmesa3-gl now suggests the libglide3 package; updated
extended description explains why (Closes: #119297)
* debian/xserver-common.preinst.in: correct erroneous reference to debconf
template name
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: SECURITY: backport fix from CVS HEAD
+ CAN-2003-0730 (multiple integer overflows in the font libraries for
XFree86 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial
of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and
stack-based buffer overflow attacks)
+ Fix overflows in the test for integer overflows. Reported by Paul
Anderson.
* debian/xdm.prerm.in: clean up the old logic for deregistering the old
xdm-greeter alternative to only do so if upgrading from versions of the
package prior to 4.0.3 and that alternative is actually registered (see
bug #164021 for a similar issue with another package)
* debian/shell-lib.sh: various enhancements;
- Use special abnormal exit codes so that problems with this library are
more easily tracked down.
- Abort if the variables $THIS_PACKAGE or $THIS_SCRIPT are not defined, so
that we can do better error reporting.
- errormsg(): report package and script name in error messages
- internal_errormsg(): report package name, script name, and package
version in error message; also, tell people about reportbug
- usage_errormsg(): new; basically a version of internal_errormsg() that
doesn't care if the package was an unofficial build or not
- find_culprits(): exit with status $SHELL_LIB_THROWN_ERROR instead of 1
when packages obstructing an upgrade are found
- remove_conffile_prepare(), remove_conffile_commit(),
remove_conffile_rollback(): new functions to handle the obsoletion of
conffiles across upgrades; remove_conffile_prepare() can handle both old
dpkg (pre-1.10) and new md5sum command behavior (Closes: #152920)
- debugmsg(): new function to support debugging messages in the maintainer
scripts
- safe_debconf(): new function to run debconf confmodule commands
defensively (but which we expect to succeed nevertheless)
* debian/local/Xstartup: a bit of cleanup;
- quote all shell variables
- tighten up /etc/nologin conditionals to work the same but be less
redundant
- don't try to use xmessage if it's not in the path
- don't display the /etc/nologin file if it is zero-length
* Drop the /etc/X11/xdm/{Xreset,Xsetup} conffiles.
- They can no longer cause problems with xconsole running on multiple
servers. (Closes: #128338)
- debian/MANIFEST.*: drop files from MANIFEST
- debian/local/xdm.README.Debian: stop mentioning no-longer-shipped
Xreset and Xsetup conffiles
- debian/local/xdm.options.5: update wording to reflect fact that Xreset
and Xsetup are no longer part of the package
- debian/local/xdm/{Xreset,Xsetup}: deleted
- debian/xdm.install: drop files from package
- debian/xdm.preinst.in: use remove_conffile_prepare()
- debian/xdm.postinst.in: use remove_conffile_commit()
- debian/xdm.postrm.in: use remove_conffile_rollback()
* debian/xbase-clients.preinst.in: a bit of cleanup;
- rewrite deregistration of obsolete ancient xconsole alternative to only
take place on upgrades from extremely old installations, and fix up
usage of update-alternatives (see #164021)
- move workaround for bug #28519 into the main conditional block
* Migrate existing obsolete-conffile handling to use new shell-lib.sh
functions.
- debian/{xfree86-common,xbase-clients}.preinst.in: use
remove_conffile_prepare()
- debian/{xfree86-common,xbase-clients}.postinst.in: use
remove_conffile_commit()
- debian/{xfree86-common,xbase-clients}.postrm.in: use
remove_conffile_rollback()
* debian/xterm.{preinst,postinst}.in: migrate removal of obsolete old xterm
alternative to the package preinst script where it belongs
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ Fix an XAA pixmap cache server crash that can happen in some cases
when the off-screen memory is heavily fragmented. (Closes: #208804)
* Improve fix for #191463 (fix hangs when threaded apps use XInput library),
using the fix committed to upstream CVS HEAD after analysis by Bastien
Nocera, Owen Taylor, and Egbert Eich.
+ patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: in with the new
+ patch #095: out with the old (deleted)
* Robustify xdm maintainer scripts.
- debian/xdm.{config,preinst,postinst,prerm,postrm}.in:
+ improve comments
+ wrap bare db_* commands with safe_debconf()
+ quote shell variables where reasonable to do so
+ don't do things that depend on the value of $RET after a db_* if a
null value doesn't make sense
+ add debugging messages for tracing of various operations
+ move repair of ancient malformed K* links in /etc/rc[016].d from
postinst to preinst
- debian/xdm.config.in:
+ debconf is not a registry; use the basename of the path listed in
/etc/X11/default-display-manager as the default answer to the
shared/default-x-display-manager question if it is available;
otherwise fall back to existing value
+ uh, let's try defining the DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE variable since
we dereference it
- debian/xdm.postinst.in:
+ use HOST as our iterator variable when checking $DISPLAY instead of
HOSTNAME, which is often already defined
+ discard error messages from hostname command
+ stop searching for a $DISPLAY on $HOST:0 once we've found one
- debian/xdm.prerm.in:
+ don't attempt to find any children of the xdm daemon, and don't make
any effort to stop it, if pidof doesn't report any xdm processes
running
* Robustify xfree86-common maintainer scripts.
- debian/xfree86-common.{config,preinst,postinst,postrm}.in:
+ improve comments
+ remove long-commented-out fiddling with rgb.txt
+ convert informational messages to debugging messages
+ add debugging messages for tracing of various operations
+ move removal of long-obsoleted /etc/X11/window-managers file from
postinst to preinst
- debian/xfree86-common.config.in:
+ wrap bare db_* commands with safe_debconf()
- debian/xfree86-common.preinst.in:
+ Stop removing /usr/doc/X11 and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc symlinks; after
taking a look at old xfree86 package releases (potato, slink, hamm),
I've concluded that old packages get these symlinks out of the way
adequately. If the local admin wants to install symlinks here, it's
no sweat off me.
+ conditionalize removal of long-obsoleted /etc/X11/window-managers file
on upgrades/installs over xfree86-common 3.3.6-5
- debian/xfree86-common.postrm.in:
+ use $THIS_PACKAGE to drive call to update-rc.d
* Robustify xserver-common maintainer scripts.
- debian/xserver-common.{config,preinst,postinst}.in:
+ convert informational messages to debugging messages
+ add debugging messages for tracing of various operations
+ wrap bare db_* commands with safe_debconf() (Closes: #209181)
- debian/xserver-common.config.in:
+ stop using debconf as a registry; attempt to read variable settings
from /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config back into the debconf database
+ allowed_users_english_to_actual(),allowed_users_actual_to_english():
new functions to covert from debconf question terminology to config
file terminology
+ validate_nice_value():
+ renamed from checkval()
+ use return code to indicate validity instead of $VALID
+ if upgrading from xserver-common prior to 4.0.1-6, scan old wrapper
config file /etc/X11/Xserver for a default setting of allowed users
- debian/xserver-common.preinst.in:
+ stop displacing /etc/X11/Xserver on upgrades from << 4.1.0-6
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: revert some problematic changes to XKB;
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c):
489. Fix an xkbcomp bug that prevents a later definition from
specifying actions if the previous definition didn't (#5471, Joe
Moss).
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c,xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbmisc.c):
* In XFree86 4.3, Latin base maps can have many three- and four-level
keys. Some of the keys should behave as 'alphabetic' keys (should
depend on the CapsLock state) and others should be simple 'four level
keys'. To separate these two type of keys, people need to carefully
specify a type for each key in a symbols map. However, carelessness
can can be worked around if xkbcomp itself guesses the type of key.
This patch adds autodetection of four-level types in XKB symbols
maps.
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/misc.c):
* Xkbcomp has a check that prevents inclusion of the same partial map
in an include statement in different single layout maps. This made
sense before the multilayout mechanism was added. But now, it means
a complete layout can't be composed from 'single layout' maps if the
maps include the same file. Thus, this check has ben removed.
+ (xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbtext.c):
680. Correct problem when the server prints the name of a 'private
xkb action' in a format that xkbcomp cannot understand, and was
causing problems when calling XkbGetKeyboard (Ivan Pascal).
+ The above reversions should rectify some problems seen in 4.2.1-6.
(See what happens when one contracts Ben Collins's Disease?)

xserver-xfree86
* Smooth transitions from the Utah GLX packages' libGL and libGLU
implementation to XFree86's version of the Mesa Project's libGL and libGLU
libraries. If the Utah GLX packages stop providing the libgl1 and
libgl-dev packages (see #148718), these relationships will be necessary
because the shared library packages provide libGL.so.1 and libGLU.so.1
symbolic links in /usr/lib, and the development packages provide libGL.so
and libGLU.so symbolic links in /usr/lib. Also see #187365.
- debian/control:

* SECURITY: Fix for CAN-2003-0690; xdm did not verify the return value of
the pam_setcred() function, which could allow attackers to gain root
privileges by triggering error conditions within PAM modules, as
demonstrated in certain configurations of the MIT pam_krb5 module.
Fix backported from XFree86 CVS xf-4_3-branch: xdm now checks the return
value of pam_setcred(), issues an error message if it is not zero, and
treats this situation as an authentication failure.
- debian/patches/000_stolen_from_HEAD.diff: added patch
- debian/patches/002_xdm_fixes.diff: resynced offsets; update
pam_setcred() patch to use pam_error and pam_strerror() when reporting
problems
* Ship empty /etc/X11/app-defaults directory in xlibs package so we do not
ship a broken symlink, and provide a way for non-packaged
app-defaults-using software to find the directory to which they should
install their application defaults files. (Closes: #191818)
- debian/xlibs.dirs: new
* Bump package's Standards-Version to 3.6.1; no changes necessary (the
package maintainer scripts do no non-debconf-based prompting of the user).
- debian/control: update source stanza
* Further cleanups to XFree86's Mesa library package relationships.
Essentially, these reflect the necessity of handling the following
mappings of virtual package names to shared library symbolic links:
libgl1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
libgl-dev /usr/lib/libGL.so
libglu1 /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
libglu-dev /usr/lib/libGLU.so

libgl1 virtual package as far back as potato)
+ xlibmesa3-gl-dev replaces libgl1-dev instead of mesag-dev (mesag-dev
provided the libgl-dev virtual package as far back as potato)
+ xlibmesa3-glu conflicts with and replaces mesag3 (<< 5.0.0-1) (prior
versions of mesag3 shipped /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1)

+ xlibmesa3-glu-dev conflicts with and replaces mesag-dev (<< 5.0.0-1)
(prior versions of mesag3 shipped /usr/lib/libGLU.so)
* Remove extraneous line-continuation character in xserver-xfree86's
post-installation script that caused the X server symlink (/etc/X11/X) to
erroneously be placed in manual configuration mode on upgrades from the
Old World Order (prior to 4.2.1-10).
- debian/xserver-xfree86.preinst.in
* Update xlibs's pre-installation script to clean up after a mess made by
woody-era xlibs post-installation script: it used ln -sf instead of ln
-nsf to create a symbolic link to a directory, which often had the result
of creating a symlink "/etc/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults", which is bogus
and stupid. (Closes: #210980)

* Add pt_BR.UTF-8 locale support (as something other than an alias for
en_US.UTF-8) to Xlib; includes Compose file updates from Gustavo
Noronha Silva. (Closes: #204148)
- patch #096: new
- debian/MANIFEST.*: list new files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
- debian/xlibs.install*: ship new files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale
* debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.preinst.in: rework migration logic:
- create the configuration file auxiliary directory /var/lib/xfree86
on all installs and upgrades if it doesn't already exist
(Closes: #206790)
- don't throw a warning if the path to the auxiliary directory exists but
is not a directory; assume local admin cleverness
- don't migrate a configuration file if its debconf region markers have
been removed (Closes: #206524)
- if installing (not upgrading) the package, place the non-conffile
configuration files under automatic management, but only if they do not
already exist (Closes: #207268)
- when installing (not upgrading) xserver-xfree86*, point /etc/X11/X to
the "true" executable which serves as the "unconfigured" default; the
postinst updates the symlink for the debconf-indicated default X server
* debian/rules: stop calling debconf2po-update, per Denis Barbier
(Closes: #172579)
* debian/po/pt_BR.po: updated Brazilian Portuguese translations (thanks,
Andre Luis Lopes) (Closes: #206949)
* debian/{xserver-common.templates,po/{*.po,templates.pot}}: fix silly typo
in xserver-common/xwrapper/nice_value (thanks, Christian Perrier)
(Closes: #206971)
* debian/local/FAQ: remove bizarre garbage from file (thanks, Eloy Paris)
(Closes: #207229)
* Use $(tempfile -s ".xvfb-run") as the default X authority file, not
$(pwd)/.Xauthority (based on a patch from Gerard Gorman -- thanks!).
- debian/local/xvfb-run: implement
- debian/local/xvfb-run.1: document
* debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.postrm.in:
- fix horrendous paper-bag bug (failure to give fgrep a file to operate
on, causing it to wait forever on standart input) that prevented
xserver-common and xserver-xfree86 from being able to purge under some
circumstances (thanks, Ingo Saitz) (Closes: #207305)
- further robustify purge procedure; don't fail when there are no lines
left in the roster file except the name of the package we're purging,
and do not let cat spew noise to stderr if the temporary roster file
does not get created
* debian/po/fr.po: updated French translations (thanks, Christian Perrier)
(Closes: #207239)
* Backport support for new IA-64 relocation types from post-4.3.0 CVS
HEAD (thanks, Matthew Wilcox). (Closes: #206929)
- patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: updated
- patch #067: resync
* debian/rules: don't try to install the XFree86.1x manpage as
XFree86-debug.1x if the XFree86.1x manpage doesn't exist (it doesn't on
architectures that don't build the XFree86 X server, like s390; fixes
FTBFS on s390)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.prerm.in: when removing the X server package
providing the target of the X server symlink (and that symlink is still
under automatic management), set the symlink target to the unconfigured
default (the path of the "true" executable) and update the checksum; this
ensures that an X server symlink under automatic management gets removed
from the system when the last package managing it is purged

xfree86 (4.2.1-10) unstable; urgency=medium
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xlib: fix for buffer overflow in
_XlcLocaleDirName(); privileged binaries ignore the XLOCALEDIR
environment variable and are not vulnerable (Closes: #201750)
* debian/scripts/manifest-install-reconcile: new script to help keep
MANIFEST and *.install* files in sync
* debian/scripts/patch.{apply,unapply}: set LC_COLLATE=C to ensure that
patches are applied in the correct order (Closes: #199838)
* use manifest-install-reconcile script to find and fix several bugs in
*.install* files:
- xlibs-dev.install.{,netbsd-i386,s390}: ship several missing extension
header files: XLbx.h, bigreqstr.h, extutil.h, mitmiscstr.h,
multibufst.h, shapestr.h, shmstr.h, syncstr.h, xcmiscstr.h, xteststr.h
- xserver-xfree86.install.hppa: ship tdfx manpage
- xserver-xfree86.install.mips: ship XFree86 manpage
- xserver-xfree86.install.mipsel: stop shipping ati manpage (fixes FTBFS);
ship dmc, penmount, and r128 manpages (Closes: #199830)
- xserver-xfree86.install.{sh3,sh4}: ship citron manpage
- xserver-xfree86.install.sparc: ship calcomp, dmc, hyperpen, and penmount
drivers
- xutils.install{,.powerpc}: ship darwinLib.{rules,tmpl} Imake
configuration files
- xutils.install.arm: ship luit and scanpci programs, their manpages, and
darwinLib.{rules,tmpl} Imake configuration files
- xutils.install.{m68k,s390}: ship luit program, its manpage, and
darwinLib.{rules,tmpl} Imake configuration files
* debian/control: bump Standards-Version to 3.6.0
* debian/xserver-xfree86-dbg.install: install the XFree86(1x) manpage as
XFree86-debug(1x) in this package; cannot use a symlink because
xserver-xfree86-dbg does not depend on xserver-xfree86 (recommends it
instead), and dangling manpage symlinks are extremely annoying
* debian/{xbase-clients,xdm,xprt}.links: remove links to undocumented
manpage; that practice is no longer countenanced by Debian Policy
* debian/{xdm,xfs}.{posinst,postrm,prerm}.in: use $THIS_PACKAGE variable to
drive calls to update-rc.d and invoke-rc.d
* debian/xfree86-common.postinst.in: don't use $THIS_PACKAGE to construct
the path to the init script; this confuses lintian, triggering several
spurious warnings and errors
* debian/po/fr.po: update French debconf template translations (thanks,
Christian Perrier) (Closes: #203470)
* debian/xterm.postinst.in: only remove the obsolete old xterm alternative
if it is in fact registered; this shouldn't be necessary, but
update-alternatives is buggy, easily confused, and prone to wreak random
havoc (based on a patch by Eduard Bloch -- thanks!) (Closes: #164021)
* Fix my misunderstanding of how to use dh_install.
- debian/{libdps1-dbg.install,libxaw6-dbg.install,libxaw7-dbg.install,
xlibmesa3-gl-dbg.install,xlibmesa3-glu-dbg.install,
xlibosmesa3-dbg.install,xlibs-dbg.install}: destinations should be
directories, not filenames (Closes: #201586)
- rules: install the XFree86(1x) manpage as XFree86-debug(1x) in the
xserver-xfree86-dbg package
* debian/rules: update list of packages not to strip to reflect
xlibmesa3-dbg's split into xlibmesa3-gl-dbg and xlibmesa-glu-dbg
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in: explicitly assume the number of
autodetected video cards, corresponding X servers and drivers are zero,
and that the user does not have a multihead config; and do not let
discover trick wc into interpreting a blank line as a detected video card
(based on a patch by Nikita V. Youshchenko -- thanks!) (Closes: #195418)
* Be cognizant of different scheduling behavior in Linux >= 2.5.
- debian/xserver-common.config.in: if the user is running Linux > 2.5 at
the time this package is configured for the first time, set the default
nice value to 0 instead of -10
- debian/xserver-common.templates: advise users of Linux with O(1)
scheduler to use a nice value of zero; also, remove the default setting
for the corresponding template so that a default is set only by the
config script
* debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: chdir() to the directory where the X
server symlink is kept before executing its target, so that relative
symlinks work (Closes: #138195)
* debian/local/dexconf: write out non-standard modelines built-in to the
XFree86 4.x server to XF86Config files for XFree86 3.x servers
* debian/local/{Xsession,Xsession.d/*}: fix X session handling bug when a
specific program is handed to the /etc/X11/Xsession script where that
program would get ignored in favor of a user's $HOME/.[Xx]session file;
while I was at it, fixed a lot of confusing variable names that led to
this logic error in the first place, and add some explanatory comments to
the elaborate fallback procedure, though this duplicates the content of
Xsession(5) (based on a patch by Frank Murphy -- thanks!)
(Closes: #195845)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in: also issue debugging output if the
DEBCONF_DEBUG environment variable is set to a non-null value, and prefix
debugging messages with a proper identifier of what is issuing them rather
than the relatively unhelpful "DEBUG:"
* Help people find the X Strike Force on the web:
- debian/local/README.Debian-upgrade: provide the X Strike Force's URL
(Closes: #203460)
- debian/local/FAQ: update the X Strike Force's URL
* debian/local/Xsession.options.5: fix missing-word typo
* debian/local/*.[0-9]: "I SEE UNESCAPED HYPHENS!"; update all
Debian-authored manpages to properly escape ASCII 45 ("-", "HYPHEN-MINUS")
characters so that groff interprets them as dashes instead of hyphens
(they're actually used as dashes, so that's what we should be telling
groff they are, eh?)
* debian/local/*: update all GNU GPL copyright boilerplates to be consisent
(have correct address for the FSF; refer people to
/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL; tweak the noses of the Hurd-haters by
saying "the Debian operating system" instead of "the Debian GNU/Linux
system", and so forth)
* debian/local/FAQ: add new question by Colin Walters; "Why am I not able to
run "startx" as a non-root user?" (thanks, Colin!) (Closes: #149482)
* debian/local/FAQ: add more information about left-handed mouse use for gpm
users, courtesy of Osamu Aoki (Closes: #181579)
* xserver-common's postinst script no longer needs to ensure sanity of the X
server's socket directory since xfree86-common's init script does that
now.
- debian/control: increment xserver-common's versioned dependency on
xfree86-common from (>> 4.2) to (>= 4.2.1-5) so we can rely on its init
script to handle the server's socket directory for us
- debian/xserver-common.postinst.in: stop manipulating X server socket
directory
* Migrate away from the hated-and-reviled "manage <file> with debconf?"
technique of handling the /etc/X11/X, /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and
/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config non-conffile configuration file, and to a
proto-ucf style of handling:
- debian/xserver-common.templates: drop the
xserver-common/manage_config_with_debconf and
xserver-common/move_existing_nondebconf_config templates
- debian/xserver-common.config.in: stop asking the now-deleted questions
and stop manipulating files based on the answers
- debian/xserver-common.preinst.in: when upgrading from xserver-common <
4.2.1-10, check value of xserver-common/manage_config_with_debconf; if
it is true; attempt to back up and store md5sum of existing
Xwrapper.config file in /var/lib/xfree86; unregister the now-deleted
questions
- debian/xserver-common.postinst.in: automatically update the
Xwrapper.config file (based on the values of the debconf templates) if
and only if:
+ the file exists;
+ the MD5 checksum file exists;
+ the MD5 checksum of the current version of the file matches the
stored checksum (indicating that the file hasn't changed since we last
touched it); and
+ the newly written file actually differs from the existing one
- debian/xserver-common.postrm.in: on purge, remove the Xwrapper.config
checksum file; remove Xwrapper.config as well, but only if it matches
the stored checksum; remove parent directories of conffiles and
configuration files if possible
- debian/xserver-xfree86.templates: drop the
shared/clobber_x-server_symlink,
xserver-xfree86/manage_config_with_debconf, and
xserver-xfree86/move_existing_nondebconf_config templates
- debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in:
+ stop asking the now-delted questions and stop manipulating files based
on the answers
+ cap question priorities at medium if the configuration file we'd write
based on the answers already exists (i.e., assume existing defaults
are "reasonable" per debconf(7))
- debian/xserver-xfree86.preinst.in: when upgrading from xserver-xfree86
< 4.2.1-10, check value of shared/default-x-server and if it is
set to the current package, and the target of the symlink is the server
provided by this package, attempt to store md5sum of symlink target's
pathname in /var/lib/xfree86; check value of
xserver-xfree86/manage_config_with_debconf and if it is true, attempt to
store md5sum of existing XF86Config-4 in /var/lib/xfree86; unregister
the now-deleted questions
- debian/xserver-xfree86.postinst.in: automatically update the /etc/X11/X
symlink and XF86Config-4 file if and only if:
+ the file exists;
+ the MD5 checksum file exists;
+ the MD5 checksum of the current version of the file matches the
stored checksum (indicating that the file hasn't changed since we last
touched it); and
+ the newly written file actually differs from the existing one
- debian/xserver-xfree86.postrm.in: on purge, remove the /etc/X11/X
symlink and XF86Config-4 file checksums; remove the files themselves if
they match the stored checksum; remove parent directories of conffiles
and configuration files if possible
- debian/local/FAQ:
+ new question: "How do the XFree86 packages manage their non-conffile
configuration files like /etc/X11/X, /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config, and
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4?"
+ updated question: "How do I add custom sections to a dexconf-generated
XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file?"
- debian/local/dexconf:
+ support new option -f | --format, which writes XF86Config file in
selected format (XFree86 3.x or 4.x)
+ use getopt(1) for option handling
+ update comment header when writing 4.x format configuration files to
reflect the new scheme of things
+ only mess with "DEBCONF SECTION" stuff if writing a 3.x format
configuration file
- debian/local/dexconf.1:
+ document new behavior
+ update "FUTURE DIRECTIONS" section
- debian/local/dexlet/main.py: only mess with the obsolete debconf
templates when configuring an XFree86 3.x X server
- debian/control: for xserver-xfree86 and xserver-xfree86-dbg, tighten the
versioning of the dependency on xserver-common to (>= 4.2.1-10); these
packages' postinst scripts use functionality that was broken in earlier
versions of dexconf
* Add technique for deciding when to purge non-conffile configuration files;
maintain a roster file corresponding to the config file, for which each
interested package adds its name on package configuration, and removes it
on package purge.
- debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.postinst.in: if the roster file for each
non-conffile config file doesn't already list this package on
configuration, add it to the roster
- debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.postrm.in: on purge, remove this
package's name from each non-conffile config file's roster file (if that
leaves no packages managing a config file, look for a stored MD5
checksum of the config file; if that matches the current config file,
remove the config file; finally, remove the checksum file)
* debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.config.in: input validation errors in the
package config scripts are now presented with "critical" priority
* New workaround for optimized-code-generation bug in early versions of GCC
3.3.
- debian/control: add build-conflict with gcc-3.3 (<< 3.3.2-0pre1)
(rationale: not using a versioned build-depends because the code
generation bug is limited to packages of GCC 3.3 prior to that version,
and there's no reason this package can't be built with GCC 3.2, for
example)
- debian/rules: revert kludge that forced optimization level to -O
* debian/{xdm.{config,postinst,prerm}.in,xfree86-common.{config,postinst}.in,
xserver-common.{config,postinst,preinst}.in},
xserver-xfree86.{config,postinst,prerm},local/dexconf: be sure to source
the debconf confmodule before setting any variables local to the
maintainer script; the way confmodule works causes the values of any
unexported variables already set to be lost (I tremble at how many subtle
bugs and how much wacky behavior must have been caused by this). Thanks
to Eduard Bloch for noticing odd dexconf behavior which led me to this
realization.
* Perform log rotation on xdm's log file. (Closes: #200699)
- debian/rules: invoke dh_installlogrotate in binary-arch target
- debian/xdm.logrotate: new; log rotation policy file (thanks, Matt Swift)
* debian/po/*: update templates.pot and *.po files to reflect changes to
debconf templates
* debian/patches/002_xdm_fixes.diff: in auth.c:openFiles(), check the return
value of fopen() so that we don't SEGV when setting up an X authority file
in /tmp because we couldn't write one in $HOME (based on a patch by Neil
Brown -- thanks!) (Closes: #206141)

xfree86 (4.2.1-9) unstable; urgency=high
* urgency due to xterm security fixes; see below
* patch #001b: remove special-case logic in linux.cf that defined
"HasLinuxInput" to "NO" for Mc68020Architecture; m68k is now supported by
the Linux 2.4.20 kernel (at least in Debian), so we let this symbol be
defined to "YES" just like all the other architectures. This only really
affects the Wacom input driver and should not cause any regressions.
(thanks to James Troup for pointing out this no-longer-needed conditional)
* build and ship more static-PIC versions of libraries; Xau (for xcb) and
xf86misc (for xfce4)
- patch #046: updated
- debian/{MANIFEST,xlibs-pic.install}.*: add libXau_pic.a,
libXxf86misc_pic.a
- debian/control: update xlibs-pic's extended description

around potentially malicious text being spewed to terminal window
<CAN-2003-0063>">http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0063>;

escape sequences can lock the terminal window
<CAN-2003-0071>">http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0071>;
* patch #095: new; fix hangs when threaded apps use XInput library
(Closes: #191463)
* debian/control: move xlibs-pic from section devel to section libdevel
(syncrhonize with Debian archive override file)
* debian/rules: replace presently-useless $(DEBUGFLAGS) variable in
$(SERVERDEBUG_IMAKE_DEFINES) with -DDefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt=-O0 to turn off
optimiziation when compiling the debugging XFree86 X server
* debian/xserver-xfree86.install.arm: get this file up to date:
- stop shipping things that aren't built for this arch: imstt_drv, libafb,
imstt manpage
- start shipping more things that are built for this arch: nv_drv, s3_drv,
calcomp_drv, dmc_drv, hyperpen_drv, penmount_drv, dmc manpage, nv
manpage, penmount manpage
- tdfx driver name corrected to tdfx_drv

xfree86 (4.2.1-8) unstable; urgency=high
* the "you're damn right I'm bitter" release
* Release urgency due to 2 factors:
- the motivation for 4.2.1-7 wasn't actually fulfilled because of an error
on my part (see change to debian/xlibs-pic.install* below) (KDE
maintainer(s), you want this)
- GCC 3.3 miscompiles XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key generation and/or validation
routines at optimization level -O2 on more than just PowerPC; this hits
i386 as well. Also, GCC 3.3 ICEs at -O2 on ARM, but not (reportedly) at
-O. Therefore all of XFree86 is being stepped down to -O for all
architectures. I'm loving the Brave New World of regressions that GCC
3.3 is bringing us -- isn't it good all of them were stopped dead in
their tracks before release thanks to the rigorous testing gcc-snapshot
buys us?
- Urgency also high because people apparently do not know how to use the
Debian Bug Tracking System, and keep reporting the XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1
breakage over and over again. And again. And again. And again. And
again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And
again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And
again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. So,
just keep doing that, folks -- the more time I spend triaging redundant
reports, the less time I have to spend packaging XFree86 4.3.0.
* debian/control:
- move all "real" -dev and -dbg packages from section devel to section
libdevel (syncrhonize with Debian archive override file)
- set priority of xserver-xfree86-dbg to extra
- move xlibmesa3{,-dev,-dbg} pseudopackages to oldlibs
- add virtual alternative libstdc++-dev to build dependency on
libstdc++5-dev; it's up to the build-essential package to enforce the
version of the C++ compiler used, and up to the administrator of the
build environment to ensure he/she has the correct libstdc++-dev package
installed
- add virtual alternative libstdc++-dev to xlibmesa3-glu-dev's
dependency on libstdc++5-dev; same reasoning as above item
(Closes: #194136)
- xutils depends on cpp-3.2, because imake uses cpp (thanks, James Troup)
(Closes: #196176)
- slight clarifications to xserver-xfree86, x-window-system-core, and
x-window-system package descriptions
* debian/rules: step compile optimization level down to -O from
Policy-required -O2 for all architectures, not just powerpc, due to GCC
3.3 issues (see Debian bugs #195424,#196554,#196575,#196621, etc.)
* debian/xlibs-pic.install*: sigh; add usr/X11R6/lib/libxkbfile_pic.a so
that it's actually shipped in the package -- both LaMont and I overlooked
this subtle detail :-P
* debian/{xdm.postinst.in,xdm.prerm.in,xfree86-common.postinst.in,
xfs.postinst.in,xfs.prerm.in}: use invoke-rc.d to execute init scripts
rather than using the absolute path of the init script itself
* debian/local/Xsession: if $DISPLAY is set and the xmessage command is
present, also use xmessage to create a dialog box for the message being
reported (based on a patch by Petter Reinholdtsen) (Closes: #179904)
* debian/local/Xsession.5: document Xsession's new behavior

xfree86 (4.2.1-7) unstable; urgency=medium
* The "plans change" release; recently it had not been my intention to
release another revision of 4.2.1 at all, but LaMont Jones persuaded me to
due to problems building KDE on some architectures due to the absence of a
libxkbfile_pic.a file. This release also fixes several outstanding
issues, of course.
* RELEASE NOTE: I expect this release to continue to have Int10 problems on
the IA-64 architecture, and for the Radeon 3D acceleration to continue to
be broken due to GCC 3.2 issues. XFree86 4.3.0 should resolve these
issues, and packaging of XFree86 4.3.0 is underway; please see
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/>; for more information.
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
(xc/lib/Xrender/{Glyph.c,Xrenderint.h}):
+ Render uses int for 32 bits; Xlib uses long. This matters on Alpha.
(Keith Packard)
(xc/lib/Xrender/Glyph.c):
+ XRenderFreeGlyphs wasn't sending the glyphset. (Keith Packard)
+ CompositeGlyphs functions were re-using overwritten data and trashing
the output buffer. (Keith Packard)
+ CompositeText{8,16,32} weren't switching glyphsets at the right time.
(Keith Packard) (Closes: #181815)
+ Was miscomputing request length for String16 and String32. (Keith
Packard)
(xc/lib/Xrender/Xrender.c):
+ Skip unexpected data in QueryFormats. Deal with broken X servers a bit
better. (Keith Packard)
(xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i810/i830_driver.c):
Workaround for BIOSes which force 1MB stolen memory, and agpgart related
fix (#5300, Abraham vd Merwe). (Closes: #168469)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver:
(xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/r128_dri.c): Second stage of
mesa-4 merge. (Not a very useful commit message; fixes hardware scissor
handling when VT switching with DRI enabled.) (Closes: #185057)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_savage_driver:
+ (savage_video): Remove whitespace in front of pre-processor directives
(Marc La France)
+ (savage_cursor.c,savage_dga.c,savage_driver.c,savage_driver.h):
- Fixed VBE EDID read: due to a missing register setting read ended in
endless loop on certain systems (Egbert Eich).
- Savage driver: disable HW cursor on stretched LCD displays, let
SaveScreen and DGA test if HW cursor is on before disabling/reenabling
it (Egbert Eich).
+ (savage_driver.c):
- Initializing clock ranges in several drivers to get rid of the
annoying 'scaled from 0.0 MHz' message in xf86PrintModes() (Egbert
Eich).
- fixed typo in savage driver (Egbert Eich)
- Reinstate the VBEInit() call in the savage driver's PreInit(). This
appears to fix a problem on some Savage MX platforms (#5649, Mike
Harris). (Closes: #182788)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xman:
+ (buttons.c, handler.c):
* Initialize structure field man_globals->search_widget to NULL in xman
code, the help message states that pressing Ctrl+S in the help window
has no effect, but in some cases it would crash xman. (Paulo César
Pereira de Andrade)
+ (man.c):
* Fix compiler warning. (Torrey T. Lyons)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xtt:
+ (xttfuncs.c): removed extraneous hunk of patch that grabbed change to
font renderer registration, for which the support code hasn't been
backported (Closes: #182687)
+ (xttcconv.c): Fix an "xtt" font backend module crash that shows up on
Linux/PPC, related to an invalid code converter module being loaded
because of a broken string comparison in xttconv.c (#A.1647, Chisato
Yamauchi, Daisuke MASATSUNA). (Closes: #182835)
* patch #001a: #define CppCmd as "cpp-3.2" in gnu.cf; same for linux.cf when
using a Debian system
* patch #024,451: resynced with #000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver
* patch #032: uh, actually define a ComplexCplusplusProgramTargetNoMan()
rule, instead of redefining ComplexCplusplusProgramTarget() (thanks, Colin
Watson) (Closes: #186321)
* patch #046: updated to create static PIC version of libxkbfile.a as well;
fixes FTBFS of certain KDE packages (thanks, LaMont Jones)
* patch #049: new; remove duplicate XShmGetEventBase() prototype from XShm.h
(Closes: #182727)
* patch #052: new; have Xinerama header file #include Xlib header file,
since it references the Display structure (thanks, Xavier Bestel)
(Closes: #145740)
* patch #053: new; patch from Lobos Lunak via Adrian Bunk to fix memory leak
in Xlib's _XTextPropertyToTextList() function (Closes: #184817)
* patch #078: new; apply part of an xterm patch that was applied and
reverted long ago: set window size from xterm instead of child process to
avoid race condition with resize. (Keith Packard) (Closes: #39964)
* patch #084: new; fix typo in patch to XF86Config.man
* patch #910: new; change X server's "can't find default font" and "can't
find cursor font" error messages to whack users with a big fat clue
* debian/MANIFEST.*: updated to reflect new libxkbfile_pic.a object
* debian/*.conffiles: deleted; generation of these files is now handled
automatically by dh_installdeb when DH_COMPAT >= 4
* debian/*.debugfiles: renamed to *.install
* debian/{local/update-fonts-{dir,scale}},rules,xserver-common.postinst.in,
xserver-xfree86.config.in}: invoke head, tail, and diff commands in a
POSIXly correct fashion (thanks, Paul Eggert) (Closes: #191669)
* debian/compat: new file, implementing debhelper recommended best practice
for setting compatibility level; compat-level bumped from 2 to 4: this
means that, among other things, dh_installdeb creates DEBIAN/conffiles
files for me, ensuring they stay in sync with what is shipped
(Closes: #182505)
* debian/control:
- bump Standards-Version from 3.5.7 to 3.5.10 (no changes required)
- Build-Depend on flex-old instead of flex, since flex recently broke
backwards compatibility (fixes FTBFS on any box with a recent flex)
- Build-Depend on cpp-3.2; xbase-clients and xdm now Depend on cpp-3.2
instead of just cpp, since cpp-3.3 doesn't produce correct output (as
far as XFree86 is concerned) when the "-traditional" flag is used
("-traditional-cpp" doesn't work, either).
- minor tweak to xserver-xfree86's extended description
* debian/local/FAQ:
- removed reference to XFree86 FAQ; in the words of upstream
<URL:http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/>;, "The old XFree86 FAQ has been removed
because it is too out of date to be useful."
- added new question: "I just upgraded the X server and it doesn't work;
also, I'm using Matrox's proprietary "mga_hal" driver module or NVidia's
proprietary "nvidia" driver module; what's going on?"
- added new question: "I'm using a Macintosh, and while the keyboard works
correctly on a virtual terminal, in X it's all messed up. What's the
matter?"
- added new question, courtesy of Matthew Arnison: "Why do some programs
give authorization errors even when they are running as the same user
and on the same machine as the X server?"
* debian/local/XFree86-FAQ.html: deleted; see above
* debian/local/update-fonts-scale: only write fonts to the .scale file that
actually exist, so that removed-but-not-purged scalable font packages do
not register nonexistent fonts; this has the desirable side effect that
the count at the top of the file is also omitted (based on a patch by
Roland Rosenfeld) (Closes: #193185)
* debian/local/xterm.faq.html: updated from revision 1.75 to 1.77
* debian/po/ca.po: updated Catalan debconf template translations (thanks,
Ivan Vilata i Balaguer) (Closes: #183317,#183322)
* debian/po/{da,de,gl,it,ja,nl,pl,sv}.po: updated debconf template
translations for several languages courtesy of Denis Barbier, after a
buggy version of po-debconf eviscerated them (Closes: #170591)
* debian/po/es.po: updated Spanish debconf template translations (thanks,
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Peña) (Closes: #186147)
* debian/po/fr.po: updated French debconf template translations (thanks,
Christian Perrier) (Closes: #185708)
* debian/po/ru.po: updated Russian debconf template translations (thanks,
Serge Winitzki) (Closes: #182701)
* debian/rules:
- removed DH_COMPAT per debhelper recommended best practice (see above)
- remove calls to dh_undocumented
- add calls to dh_install --sourcedir=debian/tmp
- comment out hand-rolled "idempotency" code, since dh_install and dh_link
behave idempotently when DH_COMPAT=4 (thanks, Joey Hess)
- restructure, clean up, and add comments to section that defines
variables for use in controlling the upstream build environment
+ use dpkg-parsechangelog to get the version number of the source
package
+ fix (and rewrite) the logic that determines whether this is an
official package build
+ only define the BuilderEMailAddr Imake variable if we're doing an
official package build
+ GCC 3.3 appears to produce bad code for PowerPC at the optimization
level required by Debian Policy (the X server cannot validate
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 keys); when building on PowerPC, set
DefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt to -O instead of -O2
- expand @OFFICIAL_BUILD@ from $(OFFICIAL_BUILD) in maintainer scripts, as
we do with @SOURCE_VERSION@ from $(SOURCE_VERSION)
- stop generating and shipping the XFree86 FAQ (see above)
- remove (commented-out) invocations of dh_suidregister and
dh_installmanpages per debhelper recommended best practice
* debian/shell-lib.sh:
- internal_errormsg(): expand the message that is spewed, but only utter
it if the package was part of an official build
- check_symlinks_and_bomb(): given the past year's worth of reports to
debian-x, it appears that this function only ever generates errors when
someone is installing very old or non-policy-compliant packages on the
system at the same time XFree86 is being upgraded. Simplified the error
messages and called new function find_culprits() when this happens.
- find_culprits(): new function that finds Policy-violating overlaps with
the XFree86 packages' symlinks, and reports these to the user
* debian/xfree86-common.config.in:
- change test for official package version to just use the new
$OFFICIAL_BUILD variable
* debian/xfree86-common.doc-base.xfree86-faq: deleted; see above
* debian/xfree86-common.docs: update to stop installing XFree86 FAQ (see
above)
* debian/xserver-common.README.Debian: updated to remove mention of XFree86
FAQ (see above)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config.in:
- updates to handling of the use_fbdev question:
+ treat an empty /proc/fb the same as a nonexistent one, and clarify the
corresponding debugging message (Closes: #182704)
+ parse the contents of /proc/fb (first reported framebuffer device
only) so as to treat "VESA" and "OFfb" framebuffer types the same as
no kernel framebuffer at all, since these (and possibly some other)
framebuffer types do not work with the "UseFBDev" option (chipset
specific drivers require facilities of a framebuffer device which the
generic ones don't provide); also, clarify the corresponding debug
message (thanks, Michel Dänzer)
- remove "atimisc", "r128", and "radeon" sub-modules from autogenerated
list of video driver modules
- migrate existing debconf settings of
xserver-xfree86/config/device/driver from "atimisc", "r128", or "radeon"
to "ati"

xfree86 (4.2.1-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* This changelog entry updated on 2004-02-23 to include more information
about security fixes.
* This release includes fixes for two security issues found by Felix
Kühling:
CAN-2004-0093: Client-supplied data (screen number) used as array index
into X server-side DRI data structures without validation,
leaving X server open to SEGVs.
(xc/programs/Xserver/GL/dri/xf86dri.c)
CAN-2004-0094: Client-supplied data (screen number) cast from unsigned
char to signed int.
(xc/programs/Xserver/GL/glx/glxcmds.c)
* RELEASE NOTE: the ELF object loader in the XFree86 X server does not
recognize the new symbol relocations used by GCC 3.2 on the IA-64
architecture; this means that the "xserver-xfree86" package will not work
on IA-64. IA-64 users, put your "xserver-xfree86" package on hold, or use
"xserver-xfree86-dbg" instead, until someone is found to patch
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader/elf*.
* patch #000_post421: resynced with xf-4_2-branch as of 2003-02-18
+ Fix problems with earlier fix [...] to intermittent XDarwin crash when
changing cursors with dual processors (Torrey T. Lyons).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ removed patches to Xlib (xc/lib/X11); see below
+ (xc/config/cf/Library.tmpl): update and add targets to support proper
static compilation of Xlib (Egbert Eich)
+ (xc/config/util/{gccmdep.cpp,mergelib.cpp,mkdirhier.sh}): add sanity
checks (Egbert Eich)
+ (xc/include/Xos_r.h): warning fixes (Marc Aurele La France)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader/{elfloader.c,loader.c}): Make
loader ignore ELF objects that don't define any symbols. (H. J. Lu)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader/elfloader.c: warning fix (Marc
Aurele La France)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/loader/{elf.h,elfloader.c}): Add new
relocation entries for Alpha architecture to the loader which are used
when compiling with gcc > 3.1 (#A.891, Thorsten Kranzkowski)
(Closes: #178496)
+ (xc/lib/ICE/connect.c): Fix SEGV in ICE library (Petter Reinholdtsen).
+ (xc/lib/Xmu/EditresCom.c): XEditResCheckMessages trashed XtMalloced
memory on some widget hierarchies, due to using incorrect indexes when
removing duplicates (A.1409, Rob Arthan).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/ddxBeep.c):
- Fix the type/init value for some "Generation" variables. (David Dawes)
- Fix the number of beeps when using AccessX and XKB (#A.1302, Alan
Coopersmith).
- Warning fixes (Marc Aurele La France)
- Don't enter an infinite loop setting a new timer when one expires.
Problem easy to reproduce, press Alt+Shift+NumLock to enable/disable
MouseKeys and it will never stop beeping, even switching to the
console does not stop it. The problem also happens when enabling beeps
in accessx to notice state changes. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sun/sunInit.c): Fix SEGV that occurs when Xsun*
runs into an unrecognized framebuffer type (Marc La France).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/os/auth.c): Don't change the authorization data
(and in particular, don't enable local host access) if the X server's
authority file is removed or becomes unreadable while the server is
running (David Dawes, reported by Dietmar Schröter).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_driver.c): Add reporting
of G400/G450 in MGA driver (Andrew C. Aitchison).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/GL/dri/xf86dri.c,
xc/programs/Xserver/GL/glx/glxcmds.c): Add validation for the screen
number parameter received over the wire by the X server's DRI extension
code, and fix some similar checks in the GLX code. This fixes X server
segfaults when an invalid screen value is provided (#A.1434, Felix
Kühling). [SECURITY FIX] (CAN-2004-0093, CAN-2004-0094)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/fb/fbpict.c): Fix incorrect datatype for the pixmap
width in fbCompositeSrcAdd_8000x8000(), and add some small optimisations
(#A.1423, Keith Packard).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/xf86drm.c): Stop
the drm module from creating a world-writable directory in /dev. Since
dev nodes can only be created by root, there's no need for anyone else
to be able to write to /dev/dri (#5367, Brendan O'Dea).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/xf86drm.c,
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/xf86drm.h): Use
DRM_DEV_DIRMODE again (set to 0755). (David Dawes)
+ (xc/lib/xtrans/Xtranstli.c): Fix Xtrans TLI code to handle a port scan
and not fill the log file with error messages from
_XSERVTransTLIAccept() (#A.1333, Fiel Cabral).
+ (xc/lib/Xt/Create.c): Clear memory allocated in xtWidgetAlloc() to avoid
garbage from malloc() being referenced later (#A.1114, Adam J. Richter).
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c): Fix an xkbcomp bug that prevents a later
definition from specifying actions if the previous definition didn't
(#5471, Joe Moss).
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols.c,xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbmisc.c): In XFree86
4.3, Latin base maps can have many three- and four-level keys. Some of
the keys should behave as 'alphabetic' keys (should depend on the
CapsLock state) and others should be simple 'four level keys'. To
separate these two type of keys, people need to carefully specify a type
for each key in a symbols map. However, carelessness can can be worked
around if xkbcomp itself guesses the type of key. This patch adds
autodetection of four-level types in XKB symbols maps.
+ (xc/programs/xkbcomp/misc.c): Xkbcomp has a check that prevents
inclusion of the same partial map in an include statement in different
single layout maps. This made sense before the multilayout mechanism
was added. But now, it means a complete layout can't be composed from
'single layout' maps if the maps include the same file. Thus, this
check has ben removed.
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/xkb.c): If some LEDs are lighting when one
reloads the XKB keyboard map (using setxkbmap or xf86cfg) the LEDs
become 'frozen' and can't be switched off. The patch fixes this bug.
(#5544, Ivan Pascal).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/{ddxConfig.c,xkbInit.c}): Fix some memory leaks
in xkb initialization code. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/xkb/xkbInit.c);
- Fixed some memory leaks. (Egbert Eich)
- Reinstate the X server -xkbdir option, but only when the X server's
real and effective uids are the same (based on #A.1132, Ivan Popov).
- Fix segfault in XkbInitKeyboardDeviceStruct() (David Dawes).
- Fix problem in XkbInitKeyboardDeviceStruct(). Thanks to David Dawes
for telling me about the problem, caused by a previous patch by me. I
also added a comment in the code explaining the reason the strings
need to be duplicated. The problem is that
XkbInitKeyboardDeviceStruct() is an "entry point" for xkb, and the
function arguments are not guaranteed to be allocated, they may point
to static strings, command line parameters, etc. In the worst case,
there will be a "pseudo leak" of six strings that are used only when
the server is initialized; the strings are reachable from
xf86Info.xkbxxx, or equivalent data structure for xwin, xnest, etc.
(Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
+ (xc/programs/xauth/process.c):
- Various warning fixes. (Marc La France)
- Error out if memory cannot be allocated for authfilename. (Egbert
Eich)
- Fix a bug where xauth may write an incomplete authority file and
delete the old one if there is insufficient disk space (#5612,
Harald Hoyer). (Closes: #36184)
+ (xc/lib/xkbfile/xkbtext.c): Correct problem when the server prints the
name of a 'private xkb action' in a format that xkbcomp cannot
understand, and was causing problems when calling XkbGetKeyboard (Ivan
Pascal).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver:
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/atimach64.c): When the mode
on server entry is found to be using composite sync on a Mach64 variant,
turn on the "compositesync" option (Marc La France).
+ (xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/{atipreinit.c,ativersion.h,
ativga.c}): Fix atimisc panel support bug that occurs when the mode on
server entry is a VGA mode with large horizontal and/or vertical
blanking pulses (Marc La France).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_neomagic_driver:
+ Enabling 2D accel in 24-bit for neomagic 2360 and 2380 (Egbert Eich).
+ Added support for builtin 1024x480 mode of Sony subnotebooks for
Neomagic driver (Egbert Eich).
+ Fixed support for lowRes (320x240) modes in neomagic driver
(Egbert Eich).
+ When enabling PCI adapters, also enable their bus mastering capability;
Consequently, deprecate xf86EnablePciBusMaster() (Marc La France).
+ Fix 640x480 modes in neomagic driver (Egbert Eich).
+ Fix an incorrect check for the "StrangeLockups" option in the neomagic
driver (#5505, Mike Harris).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_newport_driver: new;
+ Support for 24bpp, fix screen blanking and bug fixes for newport driver
(#5329, #5349, Guido Guenther).
+ Newport driver updates, including:
- Add hardware cursor support.
- Workaround blank console after VT switch on some newports
(based on a patch from Dominik Behr).
- Support for the Indigo2 XL (based on a patch from Adrian
Schroeter).
(#5507, Guido Guenther).
+ Initializing clock ranges in several drivers to get rid of the
annoying 'scaled from 0.0 MHz' message in xf86PrintModes()
(Egbert Eich).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_savage_driver: (savage_driver.c): No need to
softboot twice; reduces startup time. (Alan Hourihane)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xaw: new; moved existing Xaw patches from
000_stolen_from_HEAD here, and added the following:
+ (AsciiSrc.c,MultiSrc.c): Silently ignore the useStringInPlace resource
if the string resource was not specified. This can be easily generated
when calling a program using the Xaw text widget. This is a very old
problem, and happens with any version of Xaw and Xaw variants. This
does not completely fix a problem with the multiSrcObject, if both,
string and useStringInPlace are specified, but avoids programs crashing
when, for example, calling it as: some-program -xrm '*useStringInPlace:
1' Thanks to Chisato Yamauchi for pointing the problem. (Paulo Cesar
Pereira de Andrade)
+ (MultiSrc.c): improperly checks open() return value (A.1415, Jaromir
Dolecek), Fix provided by Hideo Saito in NetBSD. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de
Andrade)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xdm: new;
(xc/programs/xdm/{Imakefile,access.c.auth.c,dm.c,policy.c,resource.c,
sessreg.c.,xdmcp.c}):
+ xdm fixes from Sebastian Krahmer (#5511):
- non exploitable overflow in ReadWord,
- use snprintf() everywhere,
- try to make DNS spoofing impossible.
(xc/programs/xdm/Imakefile): Don't build xdm greeter as a module when
HasSharedLibraries is NO. (David Dawes)
(xc/programs/xdm/daemon.c): libc5 build fix (Marc La France)
(xc/programs/xdm/{error.c,greeter/{Login.c,greet.c}}):
+ dont't use stdio or exit() in signal handler. (Matthieu Herrb)
+ On OpenBSD passwords can be more than 8 chars long (Terence M. Rokop).
+ Warning fixes (Marc La France)
(xc/programs/xdm/resource.c):
+ Remove OS/2 specific stuff and fix a typo (Holger Veit)
+ define DEF_RANDOM_FILE as "/dev/urandom" if the "linux" symbol is
defined (Egbert Eich)
(xc/programs/xdm/config/Imakefile):
+ Fix 'su' usage for FreeBSD in the default xdm config (Eric Anholt).
+ Warning fix (Matthieu Herrb)
(xc/programs/xdm/greeter/verify.c):
+ libkafs is in not needed for kerberos IV support (Matthieu Herrb)
+ explicit cast of NULL to void * in va_list (Matthieu Herrb).
+ Make xdm check the full password string (on Linux) for locked
accounts rather than just the first character (#5485, Mike Harris,
Nalin Dahyabhai).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xlib: new; moved existing Xlib patches from
000_stolen_from_HEAD here, and added the following:
+ (GetColor.c,LookupCol.c,ParseCol.c): Don't pass a transformed color name
to the Xserver, if Xcms.txt is installed and there is an entry for a
given name, the Xcms routines would convert for example "gray70" to
"tekhvc:0.0/70.0/0.0", which does not exist in rgb.txt. This patch just
remembers the argument string, and if Xcms does not return success, pass
the original string to the Xserver request. The string returned by
_XcmsResolveColorString() is a pointer to a string in a static table in
cmsColNm.c:pairs. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
+ (GetDflt.c,PutImage.c,ImThaiFlt.c,lcEuc.c,lcGenConv.c,lcJis.c,lcSjis.c):
warning fixes (Marc Aurele La France)
+ (ICWrap.c): Prevent core dumps in Xutf8Reset/Lookup code of Xlib (Masaru
Yokoi).
+ (Imakefile,XlcDL.c,xlibi18n/Xi18nLib.conf): miscellaneous cleanups,
including restriction of the _MACH64_NAME weirdness in XlcDL.c to
UltraSPARCs only (Egbert Eich) (Closes: #178289)
+ (Imakefile,XlibInt.c): Remove inconsistencies in the way extension headers are
referred to (David Dawes).
+ (Imakefile): Fixed Xlib build rules so it builds a truly static library
again (Egbert Eich).
+ (XDefaultOMIF.c): pacify GCC 3.2 (Marc Aurele La France)
+ (XErrorDB): synced with HEAD; while I did not backport the RENDER and RandR
extensions themselves from HEAD, I thought it might be useful if Debian's
Xlib could recognize the protocol errors from these extensions.
- recognize XF86VidModeGetPermissions request
- fix incorrect labeling of two vidmode extension error codes
(XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled, XF86VidModeClientNotLocal)
- recognize XFree86-Misc requests XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState,
XF86MiscSetClientVersion, XF86MiscGetFilePaths
- recognize RENDER extension requests and errors
- recognize RandR extension requests
+ (XKB.c): The functions XGetXlibControls and XSetXlibControls must work
even if the X server doesn't have the XKB extensions (#5513, Ivan
Pascal).
+ (XKBCtrls.c): XkbSetControls should return True when successful, not False
(#A.1385, Stephen Montgomery-Smith).
+ (XKBCvt.c,lcCT.c,lcUTF8.c,lcUniConv/iso8859_11.h): Add support for
th_TH.ISO-8859-11 (#5327, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).
+ (XKeysymDB): resynced with HEAD; seems harmless to recognize some new
keysyms.
- Remove XFree86-specific keysyms that already have generic equivalents
(Menu, Redo, Print, Undo).
- Add private keysyms for the new XKB actions (XFree86 special keys), and
move those actions to an XKB compatibility map. This fixes side-effects
(loss of auto-repeat and mousekeys functionality) of the way this was
implemented previously (Ivan Pascal).
- Add extended symbols for the "Logitech Cordless Desktop Navigator"
keyboard (#A.1480, Gilbert Fridgen).
- Add "Inet" key definitions for the Trust Direct Access keyboard
(#A.897, Raphaël Poss).
- Added support for special keys found on many ACPI control, Easy Access
Keyboards, Internet keyboards, laptops, notebooks and PDA (via
xkb/symbols/inet). Added new key symbols for these keyboards (Stanislav
Brabec).
+ (XlcDL.c):
- Fix bad assumption that SPARCs are the only architectures that can have
the _LP64 symbol in the build environment. (Egbert Eich)
- Have fetch_symbol() return NULL if a NULL symbol is requested. (Egbert
Eich)
+ (XlibInt.c):
- Protect "cvl" references in recent changes with '#ifdef XTHREADS'
(reported by Dan Holm).
- Fix a problem in _XEventsQueued() that causes an event reader lock of
another thread to be released. This can cause a hang and keyboard
lockup in KDE (#5619, Ewald Snel).
+ (Xutil.h): ISO_Level3_Shift was breaking compose sequences because Xlib
wasn't recognising it as a modifier key (#5594, Ivan Pascal).
+ (imCallbk.c): Only free cbs.data.text when cbs.type is XIMTextType in
_XimStatusDrawCallback() (#A.1342, Owen Taylor).
+ (imDefIm.c): Make XIM locale checking case-independent (based on #A.1422,
Leon Ho).
+ (imLcPrs.c): Reduce the stack usage from 64k to 8k in imLcPrs.c, which
fixes a problem with Java for FreeBSD (#5568, Eric Anholt).
+ (imThaiFlt.c):
- Fix a bug in previous Thai XIM changes (#5563, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).
- Thai XIM fixes:
- Fix the arguments in calling to StringConversionCallback in Thai XIM
filter, according to Hideki Hiura's explanation on the protocol.
- Add input sequence correction capability to the Thai XIM by
exploiting the XIMStringConversionSubstitution operation.
(#5553, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).
- Add support for th_TH.UTF-8. with XIM (#5336, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).
- Fix some bugs in the Thai XIM:
- excessive '(' char when switching XKB keyboard group
- ineffective Ctrl-<key> and Alt-<key>
(#5335, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan).
+ (imTrX.c): Fix a crash that can happen when some apps are run in CJK
locales (#5489, Havoc Pennington).
+ (lcEuc.c,lcJis.c,lcSjis.c): Allow UTF8 conversion to work for Japanese
locales (#A.1527, Etsushi Kato).
+ (lcFile.c):
- clean up _XlcLocaleDirName() (Egbert Eich)
- Fix some memory leaks in libX11 i18n code (#A.1314, Olivier Chapius).
+ (omGeneric.c):
- clean up code and improve comments in Oliver Chapuis's fixes (Egbert Eich)
- fix memory leaks and speed font loading (Oliver Chapuis)
+ (omText.c): Fixed obvious typo in OMlib (Egbert Eich).
+ (xlibi18n/Xi18nLib.conf): reindent preprocessor statements (Egbert Eich)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xtt: new; several fixes nicked from CVS HEAD
to fix crashing problems et al.; this does not include the
FontFilePriorityRegisterRenderer() change (and corresponding revision
number bump), which requires changes elsewhere. (Closes: #179731)
+ Fixed a core dump problem in libXtt (?) (Egbert Eich). [That's the
XFree86 CVS commit message / changelog entry, but it sucks. Here's a
better one:] "With xtt backend, loading a proportional iso10646 font
always results in X server crash. This is also responsible for some of
the mysterious mozilla crashing X problems. Because mozilla some times
load iso10646 font even without user's explicit request. The problem is
caused by the following code inside the "freetype_compute_bounds"
function in xc/extras/X-TrueType/xttfuncs.c (between line 1073 and
1114). The [...] code loop through all characters in an encoding to get
their metrics. If the very first "c" is 0, there's a problem of
referencing null pointer "tmpchar" at where I marked with ^. For most of
the encodings in xtt implementation, character does not start from 0.
Iso10646 is one of a few that does, thus manifest the problem. The
problem exists in all versions of 4.x."
+ Fix for two problems where the combination of xtt and XAA could result
in a crash. The first problem was xtt returning a NULL pointer for the
bitmap even though the height was non-zero. The second problem was
glyph ascent/descent exceeding the range of maxbounds.ascent/
maxbounds.descent (A.1484, Chisato Yamauchi, Masanori Shimada).
+ Fix an XTT problem where garbage is displayed when there are undefined
glyphs for fixed width fonts, and fix some other potential problems
(#A.1541, Hidetoshi Yamanouchi, Chisato Yamauchi).
+ Improve the XTT code that prevents unexpected data to be passed to
XAA (#5600, Chisato Yamauchi).
+ [...] fix a missing portion in X-TT's Big5HKSCS-Unicode table (#5362,
Branden Robinson and ThizLinux Laboratory Ltd).
+ Fix a crash in the "xtt" font module caused by a NULL dereference when
the font cache becomes full (#A.1611, Chisato Yamauchi and
tokeijikakenoringo).

helping out with patches to fix bugs in the ServersOnly build when X
library headers aren't installed in the build environment.
(Closes: #170508,#170510)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ dropped patch "Fix the number of beeps when using AccessX and XKB
(#A.1302, Alan Coopersmith)" since it causes the server to beep nonstop
until it's restarted if you press Shift-NumLock to enable PointerKeys.
("xset b off" shuts it up, but it's just beeping silently, as a
subsequent "xset b on" reveals) (Closes: #171294)
+ GLU and GLw aren't extension libraries, so key their default build
status to BuildLibraries. (David Dawes)
+ BuildServersOnly fix when building on a system with no installed X
headers or libraries (#5559, ISHIKAWA Mutsumi).
+ (xc/lib/xkbfile/xkberrs.c): build fixes (Alan Hourihane)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_savage_driver: new;

add NO_PLANEMASK to ScreenToScreen as code doesn't handle that case
(Alan Hourihane).
+ Remove "Option VideoRam" from savage driver, there's no need for
it, and utilize the entities given VideoRam size (Alan Hourihane).
* patch #009: deleted; didn't do what it was supposed to, and caused other
Xv problems in i810 (Closes: #166234)
* patch #021: new; patch to startx to check for GNU hostname regardless of
what uname reports the OS as; first check to see if "hostname --version"
works at all, and then if it does check both stdout and stderr of that
command for "GNU" (Closes: #167212)
* patch #022: new; fix Xaw's StripChart widget to draw scale lines correctly
(thanks, Nikita V. Youshchenko) (Closes: #167448)
* patch #033: new; fix for ICE message replies when using subprotocols
(thanks, Jochen Voss) (Closes: #95951)

Kalle Olavi Niemitalo) (Closes: #174282)
* patch #909: change XF86Config-4(5x)'s NAME section to refer to itself as
XF86Config-4 instead of XF86Config so that "man XF86Config" brings up the
section 7 manpage preferentially
* patch #004,008,046,085: resynced with other patches
* debian/control:
- add Build-Dependency on libstdc++5-dev (for libGLU in xlibmesa3-glu)
- add dependency on debconf to xfree86-common
- remove dependency on debconf from xbase-clients, xfs, xlibmesa3, and
xterm (see below)
- add dependency on xprt-common to xprt, and update its extended
description to describe its broken state and available alternative
(thanks, Drew Parsons) (Closes: #170678)
- C++ ABI 1.02 transition / Mesa 5.0 awareness:
+ xlibmesa3, xlibmesa3-dbg, xlibmesa-dev split into:
xlibmesa3-gl, xlibmesa3-gl-dbg, xlibmesa-gl-dev,
xlibmesa3-glu, xlibmesa3-glu-dbg, xlibmesa-glu-dev (Closes: #175157)
+ xlibmesa3-gl conflicts with and provides libgl1 (pure virtual package)
+ xlibmesa3-gl replaces mesag3 and xlibmesa3
+ dropped old replacement of xserver-xfree86 (<< 4.0.2) by xlibmesa3;
those versions of xserver-xfree86 are long dead and were never part of
a stable Debian release
+ xlibmesa3-gl-dbg depends on exact same version of xlibmesa3-gl
+ xlibmesa3-gl-dbg conflicts with and replaces xlibmesa3-dbg
+ xlibmesa-gl-dev conflicts with and provides libgl-dev (pure virtual
package)

+ xlibmesa-glu-dev conflicts with xlibmesa-dev and libglu-dev (pure
virtual package)
+ xlibmesa-glu-dev provides libglu-dev (pure virtual package)
+ xlibmesa-glu-dev replaces mesag-dev (<< 5.0.0-1) and xlibmesa-dev
+ dropped dependency on xlibmesa3 from xlibosmesa3 (was redundant
anyway, shlibs files work fine within the build)
+ added dependency on xlibs-dev to xlibosmesa-dev, since libOSMesa links
against Xlib and Xext
+ x-window-system-core metapackage depends on xlibmesa3-gl and
xlibmesa3-glu instead of xlibmesa3
+ xlib*mesa* package descriptions tweaked
- added xlibmesa3, xlibmesa3-dbg, and xlibmesa-dev pseudopackages
- added (<< 4.2.1-5) versioning to Conflicts and Replaces relationships on
old xlibmesa3, xlibmesa3-dbg, and xlibmesa-dev packages
- added missing versioning (<< 4.0) on xutils's replacement of xlib6g-dev
- updated extended descriptions of x-window-system{,-core}
- fixed typo in xprt's extended description
- bump xdm and xfree86-common's versioned dependencies on debconf to >=
1.2.9 on advice from lintian
- uncomment call to dh_installinit in binary-indep rule, since
xfree86-common now has an init script
* debian/rules: add "-DXnestServer=NO -DXVirtualFramebufferServer=NO
-DXprtServer=NO" to SERVERDEBUG_IMAKE_DEFINES (thanks, ISHIKAWA Mutsumi)

* debian/xdm.options: identify correct location of this conffile in comment
* debian/xdm.options.5: cosmetic and roff-stylistic fixes
* debian/xfree86-common.init: new init script which runs in runlevel S that
simply ensures that the X server's Unix domain socket directory exists and
has proper ownership and modes (N.B., this does not start any processes)
(Closes: #170638)
* debian/xfree86-common.{postinst,postrm}.in: invoke update-rc.d and run the
package's init script on package configuration; invoke update-rc.d on
package purge
* debian/xfs.init: when starting the daemon, ensure the font server's socket
directory exists and has proper ownership and modes
* debian/xfs.options: identify correct location of this conffile in comment
* debian/xfs.options.5:
- identify correct location of the documented conffile (Closes: #170513)
- cosmetic and roff-stylistic fixes
* debian/xlibmesa*: debhelper and shlibs files updated to reflect -gl and
-glu package split
* debian/xlibs.shlibs: update Xrender dependency info to xlibs to (>>
4.2.0), since Xrender added symbols between XFree86 4.1.0 and 4.2.0
(thanks, Eric Dorland) (Closes: #174589)
* debian/{xbase-clients,xfs,xlibmesa3,xterm}/postinst.in: nuke quaint and
curious relics of forgotten debconfage (don't source the confmodule since
we're doing anything debconf-related) (also, remove pointless invocation
of db_stop in xfs's postinst)
* debian/xserver-common.files: the dexconf manpage is in section 1, not 8

G.P.Halkes).
+ Fix the number of beeps when using AccessX and XKB (#A.1302, Alan
Coopersmith).
+ Add symbols that were missing from the registrations lists. This
removes a lot of the misleading "unresolved symbols" messages that show
up if 'X -configure' crashes. (David Dawes)
+ [fbdev] The xf24_32bpp module isn't needed when using fb. (David Dawes)
+ Fix an fbdev driver crash when the VT isn't active (#5169, Michel Dänzer).
+ Fix 24bpp displays with the fbdev driver when not using shadowfb (#5351,

Tsukahara Ken).
+ Fix a SEGV on server reset in the PM3 driver. (Alan Hourihane)
+ Fixed GetTimeInMillis() to use deltas instead of absolute time returned
by gettimeofday(). This ensures time is monotonic in X (Egbert Eich).
(Closes: #85365)
+ Sync with Type1 font rasterizer from HEAD:
- Some minor include cleanups. (David Dawes)
- Avoid redefining abort(), a well known C library function. This can
cause errors when the abort() prototype from stdlib.h is included
later by Xos.h. (Matthieu Herrb)
- A "hammer" approach at ensuring font properties are freed properly.
(Marc La France)
- Modify Type1 font RAM allocation heuristics to allow for larger fonts.

according to the VESA GTF). (David Dawes)
+ Regenerate xf86DefModes.c with newly added modes. (David Dawes)
+ Allow Xnest/Xprint to build without traversing lib/X11 subdir. (Alan
Hourihane)
+ Document 'xset dpms force on'. (David Dawes)
+ Don't assume mmap returns the pointer hint requested. This is in
the DENSE map code for Linux/alpha (#5439, Ray Strode).
+ Fix a segfault when using xkbcomp's -I option, and update the man
page to correctly document the way this option works (#5447, Joe Moss).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver: new; many, many bugfixes to
pre-Rage128 ATI chips (sorry, the r128 and radeon sub-drivers have been
overhauled far too much since 4.2 for me to steal those); among other
things:

generation integrated Mach64 controllers (Marc La France).
+ In the ATI driver, add option "CrtDisplay" to force CRT display in a
dual display situation (Marc La France).
+ In the ATI driver, rename option "CrtScreen" to "NoPanelDisplay",
keeping "CrtScreen" as a private option for compatibility (Marc La
France).
+ An attempt at disabling display switches while the server is running on
an LT Pro or Mobility M1 (Marc La France).
+ Fix rounding error in Mach64 DSP calculation (Marc La France).
+ Add PCI ID for ATI Radeon Mobility M7 'LX' (#5233, Mike Harris). (This
patch moved from #000_stolen_from_HEAD.)
+ Fix long-standing colour map bug in ATI driver (Marc La France).
+ Fix panel support bug for ATI LTPro, XL and Mobility M1 chips (Marc La
France).
+ Ignore (with messages) any HorizSync and VertRefresh specifications for
panels when using ATI LT, LTPro, XL and Mobility M1 (Marc La France).
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_cyrix_driver: new; updated version of former
patch #021; this fixes support for the 5510, 5520 and 5530 -- this driver
only works with VSA1 based chips (#A.1260, Alan Cox).
* patch #002,905: some Debianisms moved to patch #905 where they belong;
also, update StorePid() function to use Matthieu Herrb's changes that
refuse to open an existing pid file, and take more care with the size of
the Pid_t type; lots more changes, including better logging
(Closes: #63201)
* patch #003,906: some Debianisms moved to patch #906 where they belong;
also, update StorePid() function to use Matthieu Herrb's changes that
refuse to open an existing pid file, and take more care with the size of

* patch #087,100: resynced with #000_stolen_from_HEAD_ati_driver
* patch #089,100: resynced with #000_stolen_from_HEAD
* patch #090: new; support for ATI Radeon 9000 cards (N.B., not the 9500 or
9700)
* patch #091: new; drop the sumFile() function from xdm's genauth.c file,
define DEV_RANDOM for Linux and the Hurd, and change the meaning of the
randomFile resource to indicate the file that should be opened for the
reading of entropy. The default random file on Linux and the Hurd is
/dev/random; on NetBSD it remains /dev/urandom per the existing XFree86
code. Twinks who don't want xdm "draining their entropy pool" can edit
/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config and set "DisplayManager.randomFile" to "/dev/zero"
if they want. Anyway, this fixes a bug with xdm causing machine checks on
some architectures when reading a lot of data from /dev/mem.
(Closes: #107311)
* patch #102,103: new; patch xf86Events.c to recognize Sun Type6 keyboard
scancodes, and provide XKB data for type6 keyboards; please test

* patch #901: updated to fix a few compiler warnings
* patch #905: fix typo when declaring authDir resource (fortunately, the
default upstream location is a symlink to the location defined, so this
doesn't really change anything) (Closes: #167642)
* patch #907: in XTerm's color app-defaults file, use instance names, not
class names (see #167495)
* debian/{xfonts-pex.files,xlibs.files.alpha}: removed these obsolete files
(thanks, ISHIKAWA Mutsumi) (Closes: #169429)
* debian/MANIFEST.*: updated to reflect re-sectioning of dexconf manpage
* debian/{*.templates,/po}: migrated to po-debconf
* debian/control:
- add build dependency on po-debconf, and bump versioned dependency on
debhelper to (>= 4.1.16) for support of the New Debconf Template
Translation Order
- Discuss Xlib's loadable modules for i18n in the extended package
descriptions of xlibs and xlibs-dbg. In xlibs-dbg's extended
description, give tips on how to debug the i18n modules.
- Update URL to driver status document in xserver-xfree86's extended
description. (Closes: #168289)
* debian/local/dexconf:
- improve usage message
- rework handling of temporary directories and files; respect $TMPDIR
instead of using the more complex method we had before (Closes: #166177)
- be sure to quote all expansions of variables that the user can influence
- clean up a few diagnostic messages
* debian/local/dexconf.8: renamed to debian/local/dexconf.1

a bit; produce them with shell functions
* debian/local/update-fonts-{alias,dir,scale}.8: updated; added sections on
operands and diagnostics; other minor edits
* debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: (cosmetic) wrapped source code at 80
columns
* debian/local/xvfb-run.1: minor cosmetic updates
* debian/rules:
- try and cut down on the time and space required by the XFree86 build
process; when copying the build tree for the debugging server build,
omit the doc, fonts, and nls directories
- call debconf2po-update after generating and after cleaning the
xserver-xfree86-dbg.templates file; I'm not crazy about having to do
this, but I don't see any alternative with the current po-debconf tools
- do another substitution (this one for $THIS_SERVER) when generating
xserver-xfree86-dbg's maintainer scripts, so that the package doesn't
have an identity crisis
- install dexconf manpage to section 1
* debian/scripts/vars.m68k: on m68k, make x-window-system-core depend on
xserver-xfree86-dbg instead of xserver-xfree86 since the XFree86 module
loader doesn't work on this arch at present; m68k hackers, please help fix
this!
* debian/xdm.init:
- sleep for one second after using start-stop-daemon --stop successfully
so that we don't needlessly signal the daemon while it's shutting down
- minor change; use shell arithmetic operator ("$(( ))") instead of expr
to do simple math
* debian/xdm.prerm.in:
- migrate the last bit of interactivity in the maintainer scripts to
debconf; use debconf to ask the user if he/she wants to stop a running
xdm daemon that is managing sessions
- stop de-registering an obsolete alternative
- stop defining an unused variable
* debian/xdm.templates: add template xdm/stop_running_server_with_children
* debian/xfs.init:
- sleep for one second after using start-stop-daemon --stop successfully
so that we don't needlessly signal the daemon while it's shutting down
- comsetic change; prevent words from being run together when xfs daemon
won't listen to SIGTERM
* debian/xlibs-dbg.debugfiles: ship unstripped versions of Xlib's i18n
modules in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/common
* debian/xserver-xfree86.templates: add discussion of new "altwin" symbols
file and how to use multiple symbols files with xkboptions to

xserver-xfree86.files}.netbsd-i386: add files to support Debian GNU/NetBSD
for i386 (Closes: #164050)
* debian/README: "rezoned" the patch sequence numbers for non-Linux Debian
ports; those who of you who care about such things should re-read this
file
* debian/control:
- add "hurd | freebsd | netbsd | openbsd" as alternatives to
"kernel-headers-2.4" build dependency (Closes: #130877)

* debian/shell-lib.sh:
- use "which" instead of "command -v"
- analyze_path(): don't freak out if a dpkg backup directory doesn't exist

xfree86 (4.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* patch #000_post421: resynced with xf-4_2-branch as of 2002-10-06
+ Xdm patches: realloc usage, zero malloc()ated memory, enable
/dev/urandom on NetBSD 1.4 and later (#5345, Mike A. Harris, #5401,
Matthias Scheler) (Matthieu Herrb)
+ Fix crash in the TextWidget reported by Hans Wilmer. The bug is fixed in
the TextAction.c patch (actually it was fixed in head, but I forgot to
update the 4.2 branch, that is what most people are using). Also synced
some other bug fixes only in CVS head. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
* patch #002: resynced with xf-4_2-branch updates
* patch #024: new; fix for hangs upon VT switch back to XFree86 on Rage128

(thanks, Michel Dänzer) (Closes: #163359)
* patch #026: new; patch from Steven Davies to implement double-buffering
support for the XVideo extension in the tdfx driver; he wanted testers, so
I'm sticking this code in to test it. Welcome to Debian unstable!
* debian/control:
- update versioned Replaces in xdm to not reference a version of
xbase-clients that only existed when woody was unstable
- update xbase-clients's extended description to mention xf86cfg,
xf86config, xrandr, xtrapchar, xtrapin, xtrapinfo, xtrapout,
xtrapproto, xtrapreset, and xtrapstats; remove mention of xieperf, which
is no longer shipped
- update xlibs-pic's extended description to mention libI810_XvMC
- correct typos in extended descriptions of xserver-xfree86{,-dbg}
* debian/rules:
- use find | xargs --no-run-if-empty to drive strip for the stripping of
server modules because, duh, there ain't none on architectures where
DoLoadableServer is NO; fixes FTBFS bug on those arches
(Closes: #163522)
- move aliases for ISO 8859-8 fonts from /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias
to /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base-transcoded.alias, since that's where
the ISO 8859-8 fonts are

* patch #047: really got __vendorversion__ defined correctly this time, I
mean it
* patch #314: new; fix to chips driver's assumption that all ARM machines
run NetBSD. Fixes build failure. (thanks, Michel Dänzer and Othmar
Pasteka)
* patch #453; new; unaligned-load functions for ia64 in compiler.h should be
declared "static __inline__", not "extern __inline__"; otherwise a
non-optimized build will fail to have them at all. Fixes build failure.
(thanks, Matt Chapman)

* patch #000_post_xf-4_2_1: resynced with xf-4_2-branch as of 2002-09-17
- xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/sgml/README.sgml: fix typo in URL
(David Dawes)
- SECURITY: Implement LocalClientCred() to return the credentials of local
clients connected through Unix domain sockets on systems that have the
required support (for now recent Linux, FreeBSD >= 4.6, OpenBSD >= 3.0
are implemented), and use that in ShmAttach() to grant access to the
client. When client credentials are not available, require world
accessibility. (Matthieu Herrb)
- xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/r128_driver.c: BIOSDisplay
was always getting forced to R128_BIOS_DISPLAY_FP on cards that might
have a FP attached. This was wrong if a CRT is being used instead, and
caused both sets of DPMS routines to get used, which resultsed in a SEGV
on CloseDisplay(), as well as making DPMS not work for a CRT. (Stuart
Anderson)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
- Don't build the GLw library when BuildServersOnly is set. (Marc La
France)
* patch #001:
- Use new symbol DefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt from xfree86.cf instead of
hard-coding optimization levels for most architectures.
- In LinuxDebian section, set optimization level per Debian Policy (but
use #ifndef so it can be overridden in the build environment).
* patch #004:
- Define new symbol, DefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt, if it is not already defined
and HasGcc2 is true. Make DefaultGcc2{Axp,i386,Ppc}Opt use this by
default. This enables more control over the build with fewer things
passed to IMAKE_DEFINES.
* patch #016: new; updates to mga(4x) manpage
* patch #017: new; fixes to xrandr(1x) manpage from Colin Watson
* patch #018: new; patch from Michel Dänzer to fix broken OpenGL point and
line drawing on ATI Rage128 chips
* patch #024: deleted; existing patch #074 should fix this problem in a
better way
* patch #047: new; define new imake variable, XFree86ManVersionString, and
use that for XVendorManVersionString; XFree86VersionString has an embedded
space that I can't rid of, and messes up manpage .TH macro arguments
* patch #052: deleted; dropped this Debian-specific meta/alt/windows key
thing because XFree86 4.2 has the "altwin" symbols file; Emacs users need
to check it out (/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin)
* patch #059: fix bdftruncate's usage message to not refer to itself as
"bdftruncate.pl"
* patch #061: reworked this patch to fix more problems and make it
consistent with other X manpages
* patch #085: new; major enhancements to imake's manpage generation support,
making it possible to do different cross-references to OS-installed
manpages versus X11-distributed manpages
* patch #086: new; started overhauling manpages to take advantage of patch
#085, use consistent style, fix errors, use proper roff idioms, etc.
* patch #069,072,077,082,100,150,500: resynced with other patches
* debian/MANIFEST.{arm,hppa,s390}: updated
* debian/{MANIFEST.*,xlibs.conffiles,xlibs.files*}: removed
etc/X11/xkb/symbols/alt, as a consequence of the deletion of patch #052
(see above)
* debian/control: bumped Standards-Version to 3.5.7 (see changes to
debian/rules below)
* debian/copyright: updated to reflect upstream 4.2.1 release
* debian/local/dexconf: don't reference the Generic Mouse InputDevice
section in the ServerLayout section if the Configured Mouse is a gpm
repeater device
* debian/local/xterm.faq.html: updated to version 1.75
* debian/local/xvfb-run{,.1}:
- added several options to make this script's behavior more configurable
- documented the new options
- cleaned up the formatting of the manpage
* debian/rules:
- set up DEBUGFLAGS more simply thanks to patches #001 and #004 (just use
-DDefaultGcc2OptimizeOpt='-O0')
- recognize "build-arch" and "build-indep" targets (both of them simply
call "build", however, so this package still has no Build-Depends-Indep
field)
- support "noopt" and "nostrip" flags in $DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS
- explicitly tell dh_strip to strip the modules in
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/{drivers,input}

* patch #999: make this debugging patch actually do something (oops), but
also move it to old-patches directory since it produces copious output to
the X server log file
* debian/local/dexconf: don't write a Generic Mouse section if the
Configured Mouse is a gpm repeater device, because we cannot know what gpm
is repeating, and it might be a USB mouse (Closes: #154057)

xfree86 (4.1.0-17) unstable; urgency=low
* patch #069: set the r128 driver's pitch increment to 8 * 32 instead of 8 *
64 bytes, since we know that a pitch of 800 bytes works on, for instance,
ATI Rage 128 LF-based clamshell iBooks; thanks to Michel Dänzer for his
help identifying the problem
* patch #070: patch from Michel Dänzer so that the fbdevhw layer doesn't
fail silently when no framebuffer device (e.g., /dev/fb0) can be found, or
doesn't respond to ioctl()s
* Renamed Danish debconf template translation files from *.dk to *.da, and
updated internal tags accordingly. (thanks, Denis Barbier)
(Closes: #144111)
* debian/control:
- xserver-common suggests configlet-frontends
- xserver-xfree86 suggests discover (Closes: #145870)
- xlibs-dev suggests xspecs (Closes: #144391)
- updated xserver-xfree86's extended description to mention discover
* debian/local/FAQ:
- added new question: "Why do the menus in xterm have the wrong font,
size, background color, or foregound color?"
* debian/local/Xsession.5:
- minor clarification
* debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c:
- sigh Ben Collins changed our FROZEN C library back to pre-SuSv2 nice()
semantics, so rewrote the nice() error handing
- correct limits on legal nice values from -20 <= x <= 20 to
-20 <= x <= 19
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
- allow three digits in a PCI bus number
- when testing for fbcon, actually cat /proc/fb if it exists; it's only in
use if a string is returned
- do not explicitly load the "dri" module on the sparc architecture if the
sunffb driver is being used, because of an apparent upstream bug in the
module loader (thanks, Ben Collins)

changed expectations about how /etc/X11/X should be handled
(Closes: #141636)

all that XWSC_SPECIAL_DEPENDS stuff actually has a chance to work; also
updated this package's extended description (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)

much memory?"

when LD_BIND_NOW is used, causing stack poisoning (Keith Packard, Kevin
Puetz) (Thanks, Kevin!) (Closes: #137145)
* patch #064: fix in fbdev driver; fbdev wasn't telling shadow layer when
there was no framebuffer available (i.e., when switched away to a
different VT) (patch courtesy of Keith Packard, Roland Schulz, and Michel
Dänzer)
* patch #065: raped again by Herbert Xu and Ben Collins; you're not
"supposed to" Build-Depend on a kernel package and at the same time the
glibc versions of the kernel headers exclude SiS DRM ioctls that we need
#defined to compile properly. Kludge these #defines into sis_alloc.c
because, of course, it's XFree86's job to know what the uderlying kernel's
ioctl numbers are. While we're at it, why don't we just stop using
standardized constants in our C programs altogether? :-P Oh, by the way,
these are the ioctl's for i386 Linux. Talk to Herbert and Ben if this
sucks for you. (Closes: #139511)
* patch #451: fix for page size problems on ia64 (thanks, Bdale Garbee and
Chris Ahna)
* patch #452: workaround for an ATI expansion ROM problem that is fatal on
HP McKinley prototype systems (thanks, Bdale Garbee)
* patch #500: Gerhard Tonn's patches to enable X server code on the s390

3-digit bus numbers (thanks, Richard Hirst)
- update BusID validation code to accept XFree86's special "-1" value,
which appears to indicate an ISA bus
- store selection_method template from configlet (thanks, Richard Hirst)

exits with an error message if it cannot be found (thanks, David Schleef)
* debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: change nice() usage to fit SuSv2
semantics; see Debian Bug #140012
* debian/rules:
- define special substvar F:XWSC-Special-Depends to take care of the fact
that s390 doesn't build xserver-xfree86, and still keep the

* debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
- big-time changes, mostly to support DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
- documented proper syntax for the shell functions used
- changed syntax of exiting validate_* functions so that question priority
is supplied as an argument, and updated all function invocations to
correspond to this
- new functions; validate_bus_id_db_input(),
validate_monitor_frequency_db_input(), and auto_answer(); use these
new validate_* functions when getting bus ID's and monitor data, instead
of inlining the code
- stopped using and eliminated tsl() function; dropped in favor of
auto_answer() instead
- collect information about installed video cards in one pass at the
beginning of the script, and set NSERVERS, NDRIVERS, NCARDS, and MULTIHEAD
accordingly
- MULTIHEAD is now set if NCARDS is greater than one, not NSERVERS
- updated and added some debugging messages
- migrated debconf questions that MUST have answers, and do not have
"safe" defaults, to use auto_answer() instead, note that if you do not
pre-answer these questions and configure this package with the
noninteractive frontend, the X server is NOT guaranteed to be configured
in a sane way
- change all autodetect questions to use auto_answer() function, set to
false if the question cannot be asked, and stop setting the seen flag to
false before asking the question (Closes: #137869)
- specify MAY_BE_NULL variable on the same line as the call to
validate_string_db_input, always
- handle case where mdetect returns no output at all; also, break out of
autodetection loop after one iteration if the autodetection question is
not being aksed
- don't do string compares on $?
- pre-answer video card and monitor identifier questions with
locale-specific generic answer when a default cannot be determined with
probing

xfree86 (4.1.0-12) unstable; urgency=low
* patch #000_post-410: more fixes from xf-4_1-branch:
+ Fix a bug in readPciBIOS() that was causing incorrect values to be
written back to the PCI config space (#5109, Luugi Marsan).
+ Fix twm core dump if no locales are present (#4902, Johnathan Kamens)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ Gerd Knorr's v4l fixes (memPhysBase issues in r128 and radeon drivers,
and correct handling of multiple v4l devices) (Closes: #125865)
+ Default *sampleText*international to false in xfontsel's app-defaults
file, since it breaks if the user has '*international: true' (#4842,
Juliusz Chroboczek). (Closes: #126672)
+ Remove OS dependency from vgaHW.c, fixing colormap restoration on the
Hurd. (Closes: #106605)
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD_xterm: xterm patch #165
+ modify "uxterm" script to strip encoding part from environment
variable before adding ".UTF-8" (based on Debian #125947, but
using a more portable solution). (Closes: #125947)
+ add an assignment statement in VTInitialize() to make "awaitInput"
resource work.
+ use new macros init_Bres(), etc., in VTInitialize() to add trace of
the initialization of resources.
+ modify checks for $LC_ALL, related environment variables to ensure
the resulting strings are nonempty (report by Markus Kuhn).
+ add an ifdef in charproc.c for num_ptrs variable in case all
configure options are disabled.
+ modify definition of getXtermBackground() to avoid negative array
index warning on Tru64 (report by Jeremie Petit).
+ improve fix from patch #165 (still Debian #117184, report by Matt
Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>) (Closes: #117184)
+ correct install rule for uxterm in Makefile.in, to handle the case
where building in a different directory than xterm's source (patch by
Paul Gilmartin).
+ documented ANSI.SYS-style cursor save/restore escape sequences in
ctlseqs.ms, which are in xterm since X11R5.
+ correct two entries in the default charClass table, which did not
follow the manpage comment about the character number corresponding
to the class (patch by Marc Bevand <bevand_m@epita.fr>).
+ fix a couple of typos in comments in the app-defaults files (David
Krause <xfree86@davidkrause.com>).
+ Modify UXTerm.ad's font5 resource so that xterm can display double
width characters using a font distributed with XFree86 (#4962, Tomohiro
KUBOTA). (Closes: #122109)
+ Restore a comparison to zero in getXtermBackground() still needed
because some other parts of the code may pass a negative number.
+ Modify getXtermForeground() to also compare against MAXCOLORS so the two
macros make similar range checks.
+ Also, add a couple of null-pointer checks to _GetSelection(), found in
the trace-code while debugging the problem with getXtermBackground().

these commands are misused

xfree86 (4.1.0-11) unstable; urgency=medium
* the "honk if you ignore manpages and changelogs" release
* medium urgency upload because some people were annoyed with the debconf
enhancements in -10; this release attempts to be more things to more
people, but due to the law of conservation of cluelessness, this means
more incoherent anger will simply be concentrated among fewer people
* patch #000_post-410: more fixes from xf-4_1-branch:
+ Autodetect when -fno-merge-constants is needed for building modules,
and enable its use by default in those cases (Marc La France, David
Dawes, Mike Harris).
* debian/MANIFEST.s390: updated (thanks, Gerhard Tonn)
* debian/control: tighten xserver-common's versioned dependency on debconf
again, to 1.0.21, for the reasons mentioned in that version's changelog
entry
* debian/local/dexconf{,.8}: refuse to write anything if no debconf markers
are in the config file (and document this change in behavior in the manual
page, which no one reads anyway)
* debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: skip lines in Xwrapper.config that don't
match expected format (e.g., comments)
* debian/xserver-common.config:
- don't ask any further debconf questions if the user does not wish to
manage the wrapper config file with debconf
- don't ask any further debconf questions if user chooses to manage config
file with debconf but existing file has no markers and user refuses to
move it
- don't ask about clobbering the X server wrapper config file
- fix validation test for nice value template (Closes: #123021)
* debian/xserver-common.postinst.in: only write X server wrapper config file
if user wants to manage it with debconf, and it contains debconf markers
* debian/xserver-common.templates:
- removed old "clobber X server wrapper config file" template
- added "manager X server wrapper config file with debconf" template
- added "move old non-debconf-marker-using config file" template
* debian/xserver-xfree86.config:
- don't ask any XF86Config-4 questions if user does not wish to manage the
config file with debconf
- don't ask any XF86Config-4 questions if user chooses to manage config
file with debconf but existing file has no markers and user refuses to
move it
- don't ask about clobbering the X server config file
- fix validation test for horizontal sync and vertical refresh string
inputs (my fix for #120521 had problems) (thanks, Greg Norris)
(Closes: #123070)
- validation tests for double-quotes and numeric input were too generous;
made stricter
- add driver list for hppa architecture, containing only "fbdev"
* debian/xserver-xfree86.postinst.in: only invoke dexconf if user wants to
manage the config file with debconf
* debian/xserver-xfree86.templates:
- removed old "clobber X server config file" template
- added "manage server config with debconf" template
- added "move old non-debconf-marker-using config file" template

this template)

location of app-defaults directory (Debian #87611)
+ correct a case where "ptyInitialErase" and "backarrowKeyIsErase"
resources combine to set "DECBKM" mode, but a "reset" command would
not reset xterm to that state, making the erase character revert to

- s/offscreen/off-screen/ in package descriptions (thanks, Matt Zimmerman)

* debian/local/debian{,bw}.xpm: updated, better-looking versions, courtesy
of Jared Johnson (Closes: #120168)
* debian/local/dexconf:
- no longer completely overwrites XF86Config files; instead, just replaces
the part between "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION" and "### END DEBCONF
SECTION", so people can add their own ServerFlags sections, their own
Layouts, do multi-head support, etc. etc. etc.
- recognize all XFree86 3.x X servers
- temporary directory should be named after dexconf, not dexter
- don't write ServerFlags section anymore
- write Modules section as configured by user (don't write if no Modules
enabled)
- write Files and DRI sections only if the templates say to do (Files only
for version 3 servers)

* debian/xbase-clients.{preinst,postinst,prerm}.in: change xkbcomp migration
logic a little; if /etc/X11/Xmodmap is the version shipped with the
package, delete it; otherwise, move it. The reason is that the default
version contained in the package contained only comments, and an example
file is already shipped in /usr/share/doc/xbase-clients/examples.

* debian/xbase-clients.{templates*,config}: removed for debconf abuse
* debian/xbase-clients.files: actually ship new Xmessage-color app-defaults

Zorzenon Neto) (Closes: #122437)
* debian/{xdm,xfs}.init: use a regex test in stillrunning() instead of a
literal string compare, because arguments also appear in
/proc/$PID/cmdline, separated by nulls
* debian/xfree86-common.postinst.in: change xkbcomp migration logic a
little; if /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40xfree86-common_xmodmap is the version
shipped with the package, delete it; otherwise, move it. The reason is
that, in all likelihood, people modifying it did not anticipate the
changes in /etc/X11/Xsession that would render a slightly modified old
version useless. (thanks, Andreas Tille)
* debian/xfs.README.Debian: corrected typo (thanks, Mark Purcell)
(Closes: #117358)

- put on a diet for debconf abuse
- improved XKB support (Closes: #84127)
- don't permit doublequotes in string inputs (Closes: #116608)
- well, Zephaniah Hull was his usual helpful self, so just give gpm users
every option there is and let them figure it out; FAIR WARNING: any bugs
filed against X asking about gpm repeater protocols will be reassigned
to gpm; if you want sanity, dpkg -P gpm (Closes: #117711)
- don't permit anything but digits in video RAM input (Closes: #121607)
- support customization of Modules section
- let the user disable the writing of the Files and DRI sections
- remove question about clobbering XF86Config file, since we don't clobber
it anymore
- allow non-leading spaces in horizontal sync and vertical referesh inputs
(thanks, Dr. Peter Kalthare) (Closes: #120521)

- remove the default display manager file if it currently references the

* debian/*.{preinst,postinst,prerm,postrm}.in: put package and script name

links files

- downgrade libxaw6-dev's priority to extra
- fix typo in xlibs's extended description (Closes: #113336)

Debian and do not comply with the Debian app-defaults policy

Why?"

various manpages for the 3.x servers and 4.x server

- use an internal version of run-parts in anticipation of having one in
debianutils someday that doesn't care if the files are executable

functions, and use them
- cleaned up up script style a bit (upcased shell variable names, etc.)
* debian/local/Xsession.5: extensive rewrite; now describes current behavior
of Xsession script, and how to write your own Xsession.d script to, say,
merge in Xmodmap files (Closes: #103068,#112408)

and it refers to the display manager being removed (Closes: #113070)

- stop managing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt manually; the packaging system

move it out of the way (it is no longer a conffile)
* debian/xlibs.{preinst,postinst,postrm}.in: when upgrading from < 4.0,
just nuke the whole app-defaults directory in /usr
* debian/xlibs.{links,postinst.in}: create the app-defaults symlink in the
postinst so dpkg doesn't howl about file overlaps that don't exist in
reality (because the xlibs preinst script gets things out of the way);
in woody+1, this kludge can be reversed

* debian/*.alpha updated (thanks, Chris Chimelis) * MANIFEST updated for hppa (thanks, LaMont Jones) * MANIFEST updated for mips (Closes: #107338) and mipsel (Closes: #107340) architectures (thanks, Ryan Murray) * updated MANIFEST.* (except arm) to include new transcoded versions of luBIS19 font * patch #000_post-410: more fixes from xf-4_1-branch: + upstream has committed the xfs DoS fix to this branch * patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: more fixes from the main CVS trunk + Alan Hourihane: Fix horizontal stripe problem in Permedia3 driver. * patch #000_xfs_SECURITY_DoS_fix: deleted (see above) * patch #001: don't #define HasLinuxInput if we're on an m68k box (this, as well as the Build-Dep exclusion below, can go away once m68k has a 2.4 kernel) * patch #002: #ifdef LinuxDebian, set DEFAULTVT to vt7, so that we actually specify a default vt in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers * patch #020: fix for PCF writing problem (thanks, Mike A. Harris) (Closes: #81056) * patch #100: one-line update to PCI domain patch * patch #400: HPPA fixes from LaMont Jones * updated debian/*.s390 (thanks, Gerhard Tonn) * debian/*.templates.de: much-needed updates to German translations (thanks, Philipp Matthias Hahn) (Closes: #107063,#107064,#107065,#107066,#107067) * debian/{xserver-xfree86,xterm}.templates.fr: updated French translations (thanks, Jérôme Schell) * debian/control: - added "x-window-system-core" and "x-window-system" metapackages for tasksel - make the *-transcoded font packages' short descriptions distinct from their non-transcoded brethren - the *-transcoded packages Replace their non-transcoded counterparts (<< 4.1.0), and the old (pre-potato) names of those packages (Closes: #107279) - the *-transcoded packages also Conflict with xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2-{100dpi,75dpi,base} (<< 3.0.0-10), because they violate Debian Policy 12.8.5.14 ("Font packages must not provide alias names for the fonts they include which collide with alias names already in use by fonts already packaged."). (Closes: #107490) - removed the language about xfonts-base-transcoded being required for the "fixed" font (erroneous paste from the xfonts-base description) - added "kernel-headers-2.4.7 | kernel-headers-2.4 [!m68k]" to Build-Depends - bumped Standards-Version to 3.5.6 * debian/copyright: added SGI FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE B (Version 1.1 [02/22/2000]) to license list (Closes: #107149) * debian/local/dexconf: - minor fixup in the format of an error message - it is acceptable for the value of use_fbdev to be undefined (Closes: #107390) * debian/shell-lib.sh: - add -s argument to fold so that it doesn't break lines in the middle of words - new function, internal_errormsg(), for problems that are the package's fault rather than the sysadmin's - check_symlinks_and_bomb() uses internal_errormsg() now, not errormsg() * debian/xdm.*: laid commented-out groundwork for the Pax Displayicus Managerius (Message-ID: <20010803034044.A11521@deadbeast.net>) * debian/xfonts-{75,100}dpi{,-transcoded}.files: ship previously ungenerated ISO-8859 versions of luBIS font

xfree86 (4.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* new upstream version (Closes: #68843,#79939,#85954,#97765,#99406) * Thanks to those who have been patient while I prepared these packages, and those who have already tested them. * patch #000_post-410: some fixes from xf-4_1-branch: + Add two missing symbols to loader reference for the glint driver (#4740, Mike Harris). + Fix glide driver that causes -configure to fail for all drivers (Alan Hourihane). + Fix broken TGA driver (Alan Hourihane). + Fix FIFO reset trouble in tdfx driver by lowering the FIFO size due to suspect code in Glide3. (Alan Hourihane). + Fix Xvideo in tdfx driver when using YUY2 or UYVY data (Alan Hourihane). + Fix problem in Ib/Xaw/AsciiSrc.c:nitStringOrFile() when descriptor 0 is closed, as a zero return value from open(2) is taken as an error (splite at purdue.edu). + Add missing vbeFree symbol to mga driver (Alan Hourihane). + Fix fatal bug in XAA's N-to-N CopyPlane acceleration (#4782, Elliot Lee). + Fix 3Dfx Voodoo Banshee timing problem (Alan Hourihane). + Fix Radeon VE support (Alan Hourihane). + Fix int10 build for GCC 3.0 (Marc La France). + An attempt at fixing the i740 driver to not reference options before they are collected (Marc La France). * patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD: some fixes from the main CVS trunk + Alan Hourihane: fix typo in Bitmap.h (#4757) + Mark Vojkovich: The tdfx driver wasn't setting pScrn->fbOffset. This seems to have been preventing the V4L module from working properly. + Marc Aurele La France: Fix bogus handling of BUS_CNTL Mach64 register + Mark Vojkovich: Have fb observe the pGC->fExpose flag. + Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade: The fbdev driver uses the same DGA initialization code as the vesa driver, this fix the bug the same way done in the vesa driver. + Matthieu Herrb: shared libXft minor revision number increment + Mark Vojkovich: Fix bug in ProcDbeGetVisualInfo reported by HP. * patch #000_xfs_SECURITY_DoS_fix: Paulo César Pereira de Andrade's fix for denial-of-service vulnerabilities in xfs; in Debian, this vulnerability was a local DoS only, because in our default configuration, xfs does not listen on a TCP port * patch #004: do not use the xserverrc if a display argument is given (really Closes: #99481) * patch #016: - update several InstallManPageAliases rules to install actual versions of manpages that are mentioned (Closes: #99598) - update mkfontdir manpage to not mention fonts.dir, fonts.scale, fonts.alias, and encodings.dir in the NAME section because InstallManPageAliases cannot install aliases from one manual section to another (Closes: #99599) * patch #017: small patch to not have server abort message mention server logfile if the logfile was never opened * patch #019: fix broken Imakefile for VBE server module that treated it like a library * patch #100: David S. Miller's PCI domain patch for SPARC (Closes: #99737) * patch #150: Michel Dänzer's Rage128 video endianness fix * patch #151: Michel Dänzer's Rage128 accelerated dashed bresenham endianness fix * patch #152: David Gibson's Rage128 fix for video mode saving and restoring when there is no video BIOS (such as on a PowerPC...) * patch #200: Brian Paul's GLX memory alignment fix for Alpha * patch #303: updates to arm, hppa, and s390 PCI support * patch #350,351: mips and mipsel support fixes from Guido Guenther * patch #907: use colors from rgb.txt instead of the rgbi colorspace in an effort to fix things for people who use absurdly shallow color depths. If this doesn't work, edit the app-defaults conffile like a Real Man. (Closes: #96496,#105624) * updated MANIFEST.{i386,ia64,m68k,powerpc,sparc} * debian/*.{pre,post}{inst,rm}.in: - found and cleaned up some stylistic cruft from the massive maintainer script overhaul - use message_nonl() instead of echo -n - consolidate message() + errormsg() into plain errormsg() * debian/*.suid: removed due to deprecation of dh_suidregister * debian/*.templates.{pt_BR,ja}: added trailing spaces after the colons for blank fields; for some reason debconf freaks if there is no trailing space * debian/{*.shlibs,shlibs.local}: bumped versioning to >> 4.1.0, and added libXmuu to xlibs.shlibs * debian/README: added warning not to build official architecture: all packages on alpha or ia64 (xfonts-pex can't be built on those arches, so a package would be missing) * debian/control: - upstream has dug xmh out of grave; restored to hideous unlife - added ia64 to architecture list for libosmesa{3,-dbg,-dev} - add references to dpsexec, dpsinfo, glxgears, texteroids, and xftcache utilities in xbase-clients's description - remove reference to SuperProbe in xutils's description - add references to bdftruncate.pl, ccmakedep, cleanlinks, and ucs2any.pl in xutils's description - fsinfo renamed to xfsinfo, xutils's description updated accordingly - xlibosmesa{3,3-dbg,-dev}: now available for powerpc architecture - xfonts-base Conflicts/Replaces/Provides xfonts-cjk - added versioning to Build-Depends on libglide-{2,3}-dev, since the compile will error out if the version of glide is too old - added xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base}-transcoded: Because XFree86 4.1.0 ships many fonts encoded in ISO 10646-1, these packages contain various ISO 8859 (other than Latin-1) -encoded versions of the fonts in xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base}, which contain ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1 versions. Additionally, xfonts-base-transcoded contains several KOI8-R versions of some of the fonts in xfonts-base. Fonts in other encodings without an ISO 10646-encoded version remain in the non-"-transcoded" version of the package. In sum, no fonts have been removed from the existing xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base} packages; ISO 10646 versions have been added to them; and people seeking other encodings are encouraged to install the xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base}-transcoded packages. - added "libxaw6-dev |" before xlib6g-dev's dependency on libxaw-dev (Closes: #103885) - xserver-common and xterm now Conflict: suidmanager (<< 0.50) per the dh_suidregister manpage * debian/copyright: updated * debian/local/FAQ: - added questions: + What are app-defaults? + What is the difference between "bits-per-pixel" and "color depth"? + Why does the "single-quote" (') symbol in the fonts not look the way it used to? + How do I use Xnest, the nested X server? - updated questions: + What is the X Window System? + How do I change the color depth of my X server? + Why doesn't my backspace, delete, or some other key work? + How do I change xterm's default terminal type or key bindings? * debian/local/Xsession.d/40xfree86-common_xmodmap: removed (Closes: #28408) * debian/local/dexconf: - a couple of cosmetic and stylistic changes - write out UseFBDev option as determined by debconf template - write out XkbRules and XkbModel as determined by debconf template (thanks to Peter Haworth for coming up with the winning combination for Sun keyboards) - fix thinko in error message construction when desired debconf variable not found (thanks, Eric Gillespie, Jr.) * debian/local/startx{,.1x}: deleted; go back to patching upstream versions * debian/local/xdm/Xsetup: - fix typo (thanks, Sebastian Klamar) (Closes: #98423) - do not run xmodmap anymore (Closes: #65115) * debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c: allow unprivileged execution of X server with "-version" argument * debian/patches/*: almost completely overhauled. Many of our changes are now upstream. Things to note: + Numbering scheme has changed. See debian/README. + Some architecture-specific patches had to be moved to held-patches because of large changes upstream. * debian/rules: stop shipping separate startx and manpage * debian/shell-lib.sh: - new function, message_nonl() which is the moral equivalent of "echo -n" - errormsg() now accepts an error message as an argument - ensure there are semicolons at the end of all shell functions - use fold instead of fmt * debian/xbase-clients.files: - add dpsexec, dpsinfo, glxgears, texteroids, xftcache, and their manpages - ship Options file for xf86cfg * debian/xbase-clients.templates.es: add Spanish translation (thanks, David Martinez) (Closes: #104535) * debian/{xdm,xfs}.init: If we upgraded the daemon, we can't use the --exec argument to start-stop-daemon since the inode will have changed. The risk here is that in a situation where the daemon died, its pidfile was not cleaned up, and some other process is now running under that pid, start-stop-daemon will send signals to an innocent process. However, this seems like a corner case. C'est la vie! * debian/xdm.pre{inst,rm}.in: when getting rid of obsolete old greeter library alternative, also remove broken .so -> .so.1 symlink that ldconfig leaves around * debian/xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base}.files: these packages now contain only ISO 10646-1-encoded fonts, ISO 8859-1 versions generated from them, and fonts that do not yet exist in an ISO 10646-1-encoded version. Many bitmapped versions of the non-DFSG-free Adbobe Utopia Type1 font are now present in 100dpi and 75dpi versions, at several sizes. (Bitmapped fonts are not subject to copyright as hinted fonts such as Type1 or TrueType are.) * debian/xfonts-{100dpi,75dpi,base}-transcoded.{files,post{inst,rm}.in}: new packages; see above * debian/xfonts-scalable.post{inst,rm}.in: add "xftcache" to list of commands to be run when updating font directory * debian/xfree86-common.{conffiles,files}: no longer shipping 40xfree86-common_xmodmap * debian/xfree86-common.docs: - add README.dps document - add X.Org manpage * debian/xfs.templates.de: add German translation (thanks, Sebastian Feltel) (Closes: #100569) * debian/xlibs.{conffiles,files}: - modified for added and removed XKB data files: + cs, cs_qwerty, and czsk (Czechoslovakian) symbol files removed + cz, cz_qwerty, sk, and sk_qwerty (Czech Republic, Slovakia) symbol files added + by (Belarus) symbol file added + gr (Greek) symbol file renamed to el + hr (Bosnia-Herzegovina) symbol file added + lv (Latvia) symbol file added + "extra" types file added - ship two new bitmaps, black6 and box6 - th_TH and zh_* localization files reorganized and renamed a little (see /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale for details) - libXft's minor version number has incremented - new library; libXmuu, a minimal X utility library that depends only on libc (shared version) * debian/xlibs.files.{alpha,ia64}: these architectures don't mess with PEX * debian/xlibs.links: update soname symlinks to reflect libXft's new minor version * debian/xlibs-dbg.debugfiles.{alpha,ia64}: these architectures don't mess with PEX * debian/xlibs-dbg.links: supply soname symlinks for libXft and libXrender (Closes: #101054) * debian/xlibs-dev.files: - ship headers for XvMC extension (experimental work-in-progess) - ship new file version.def - new library; libXmuu, a minimal X utility library that depends only on libc (static version) - new manpages: + XF86VidModeValidateModeLine.3x + XeviQueryExtension.3x + XtIsSessionShell.3x + XtVaGetSubvalues.3x + XtVaSetSubvalues.3x * debian/xlibs-dev.files.{alpha,ia64}: these architectures don't mess with PEX * debian/xlibmesa{3,-dev}.{files*,links}: - upstream puts the GL and GLU libraries in /usr/X11R6/lib and my patch to fix it doesn't work anymore; work around the problem with symlinks from /usr/lib/libGL* and /usr/include/GL into /usr/X11R6/lib and /usr/X11R6/include - Since the presence of DRI modules is highly architecture-specific, I moved xlibmesa3.files to xlibmesa3.files.i386, and made xlibmesa3.files the plain-jane no-DRI version which is appropriate for a majority of the architectures. * debian/xlibmesa3.{config,templates}: added question warning about skew between Mesa/XFree86's version of DRI, and the kernel's * debian/xlibmesa3.templates.es: added Spanish translation (thanks, David Martinez) (Closes: #104033) * debian/xlibmesa3.templates.fr: added French translation (thanks, Jérôme Schell) * debian/xlibmesa3.files.i386: add radeon DRI module * debian/xlibmesa3.files.powerpc: add DRI modules for gamma, mga, r128, and radeon * debian/xmh.{conffiles,files,menu}: xmh lives again... * debian/xserver-common.templates.fr: updated French translation (thanks, Jérôme Schell) * debian/xterm.templates.es: Spanish translation update (thanks, Carlos Valdivia Yagüe) (Closes: #102994) * debian/xutils.files*: - remove SuperProbe and its manpage - add ccmakedep and cleanlinks - renamed fsinfo to xfsinfo * debian/xutils.undocumented: - no manpages for ccmakedep and cleanlinks, sorry * debian/xserver-{common,xfree86}.templates.ja: added Japanese translations (thanks, ISHIKAWA Mutsumi, Kenshi Muto, NAKANO Takeo, and Debian JP Documentation team) (Closes: #100610,#100613) - if the vga driver is selected, set default mode list to only 640x480, and set default depth to 4 (only affects these questions if they are not seen) - use "fold" instead of "fmt" - add driver list for ia64, mips, and mipsel architectures - issue non-fatal error message if architecture is unknown - add vmware to i386 driver list - add imstt, savage, and tdfx to m68k/powerpc driver list - add ati to sparc driver list - add /dev/sunmouse to non-devfs mouse port listing; use BusMouse protocol if it is selected - ask question about keyboard model * debian/xserver-xfree86.template: - new question: use FBDev; only asked if /proc/fb exists - new question: keyboard model; this is merely the tiniest of beginnings to real XKB configuration, but it should be enough to get some people over the hump * debian/xserver-xfree86.docs.*: - add README.rapidaccess document * debian/xserver-xfree86.files.*: - add 2 new encoding conversion modules: libBIG5HKSCS.a and libGBK.a - add vmware driver and its manpage to i386 and ia64 packages - add imstt, tdfx, libdri, and libdrm modules (and manpages) to powerpc package * debian/xserver-xfree86.templates.gl: cleaned up some between-template whitespace that an old version of debconf shouldn't have cared about, but did * debian/xspecs.docs: - the documents have reverted to their upstream names since upstream rejected my patch to rename them - a few more docs build now, so ship them: + analysis.ps + dbe.ps + dbelib.ps + secint.ps + security.ps + sync.ps + synclib.ps * debian/xterm.README.Debian: stop talking about xterm's X resources file, since it no longer exists (Closes: #98609)
