Modular X requires FE5 Fixes
============================
The major change created by modular X is that XFree86-devel and
xorg-x11-devel are no longer provided in the buildroot. All packages in
both Core and Extras are now expected to have BuildRequires on the
individual libFOO-devel packages of the newly split modular X. In order
to ease into this, the current monolithic xorg-x11 package in rawhide
contains many virtual provides for libFOO-devel. Modular X itself will
hit rawhide *REAL SOON NOW*.
Will we see corresponding "Provides: libFOO-devel = x.y.z" being added
to xorg-x11-devel for FC4/FC3 for better FC5-> FC4/FC3 rpm.spec backward
compatibility?
