2005-05-24
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Product     : Fedora Core 3
Name        : xorg-x11
Version     : 6.8.2                      
Release     : 1.FC3.34                  
Summary     : The basic fonts, programs and docs for an X workstation.
Description :
X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System.  It
provides the basic low level functionality which full fledged
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed
upon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Since the last official update of xorg-x11 for Fedora Core 3, a
number of bugs have been fixed in Fedora Core development builds.

This test update merges the fixes that are currently in our
Fedora Core 4 builds into Fedora Core 3 to get more widespread
testing coverage.  Please refer to the changelog below for a
fairly complete list of changes that have occured since the
last update.

Users who have experienced problems with Xorg in Fedora Core 3
who have filed bug reports already are encouraged to install
and test this latest release and provide feedback in bugzilla
for previously reported issues.

There may be additional test updates prior to the next official
FC3 xorg-x11 update.

Please report any regressions in this new release via bugzilla.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
* Mon May 23 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-1.FC3.34

- Enabled FC4 patches for FC3, and synchronized FC3 CVS with FC4.
- Built 6.8.2-34 as 6.8.2-1.FC3.34 for FC3-testing release.

* Mon May 23 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-34

- Add libFS.so and libGLw.so to -devel package file list, as they were just
  discovered to be missing all along due to a bug (#108778) in rpm not
  detecting unpackaged symlinks in buildroots.

* Fri May 20 2005 Bill Nottingham <notting at redhat.com> 6.8.2-33

- Fix xfs.init 'fonts.dir: No such file or directory' errors (#155349)

* Mon May 16 2005 Kristian Høgsberg <krh at redhat.com> 6.8.2-32

- Add patch xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-ppc-enable-dynamic-clocks.patch
  from David Woodhouse to enable dynamic clocks for radeons by default
  on PPC (#152648).

* Fri May 13 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-31

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-ragexl-ia64-avoidcpiofix.patch to workaround issue
  on ia64 with CPIO disabled in ati Mach64 driver (#155609,155610).  For
  future reference, this is also included in RHEL4_U1 build 6.8.2-1.EL.13.5.

* Sat Apr 30 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-30

- Disabled xfs.init-fc4-startearly.patch as it breaks systems that /usr is
  on NFS. (FC4Blocker #156413)

* Mon Apr 25 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-29

- Added xfs.init-fc4-startearly.patch to patch xfs.init to start earlier in
  the boot process for gdm early login on FC4 builds.  This is done to the
  RPM_BUILD_ROOT installed file to ensure the changes do not get checked into
  CVS for the master initscript accidentally.

* Fri Apr 22 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-28

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-xft-releasefile-crash.patch for fc4 builds (#155634)
- Reordered patch section to clean up numbering inconsistencies
- Update freetype BuildRequires to version 2.1.8, which is what ships in
  6.8.2 stock.

* Fri Apr 22 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-27

- Change xfs initscript dependancies from "Requires(preun,postun):" to using
  two separate lines because rpm has a bug (#118773) that causes dependancies
  of this syntax to be ignored.

* Thu Apr 21 2005 Soren Sandmann Pedersen <sandmann at redhat.com>

- Make old custom-modelines RHEL4 only. Add .laptop-modes.patch with
  support for various weird laptop resolutions.

* Wed Apr 20 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-26

- Re-enable xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-disable-broken-renderaccel-by-default.patch
  patch on FC3/FC4, until we have a new renderaccel patch to test.
- Delete Xprint manpage.

* Mon Apr 18 2005 Kristian Høgsberg <krh at redhat.com> 6.8.2-25

- Add xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch to revert
  radeon dynamic clock setup to what we had in 6.8.1.  The 6.8.2 code
  still causes lockups on some systems (#152648).

* Sat Apr 16 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-24

- Remove the Speedo font files, as Xorg no longer supports Speedo fonts in
  6.8.0 onward but includes the fonts accidentally. (#142744,154191)
- Changed base subpackage post script to remove the Speedo font path from xfs
  configuration to avoid warnings in /var/log/messages from xfs about bad
  font path elements.

* Fri Apr 15 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-23

- Disable xorg-x11-6.8.2-ati-radeon-disable-broken-renderaccel-by-default.patch
  patch on FC3/FC4, so we can test the real bugfix.

* Tue Apr 12 2005 Kristian Høgsberg <krh at redhat.com> 6.8.2-22

- Remove xorg-x11-6.8.3-intrinsics-gcc4-fdo2893-2305.patch and
  remember to cvs add xorg-x11-6.8.3-deassert-ddc-lines.patch
- Add patches nominated for 6.8.3:
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-alpha-srel32-fix-fdo1765-2174.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-canonicalize-builderaddr-1-fdo2884-2293.patch

   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-radeon-cursor-sync-fdo2844-2230.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-radeon-render-byteswap-fdo2164-1863.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-radeon-set-fb-location-fdo2698-2079.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-saver-c-fdo2194-1613.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-uname-fdo2123-1587.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-void-fdo2467-1828.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-xnest-fdo2599-1964.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-xorgcfg-typo-fdo2896-2311.patch
   - xorg-x11-6.8.3-xset-fdo2258-2166.patch
  Add patch to deassert i2s lines after ddc probe
  (xorg-x11-6.8.3-deassert-ddc-lines.patch).

* Tue Apr  5 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-21

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-xorg.conf.man-dont-refer-to-nonexisting-example.patch
  to fix bug (#69335)
- Removed dead XFree86-4.2.99.901-parallelmake.patch as it has not worked for
  several X releases and is unmaintained.

* Tue Apr  5 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-20

- Updated pre script to only strip away XkbRules lines indicating "xfree86"
  or "xorg" rules be used.  (#142429)
- xfs.init reordered find "-maxdepth" option to be first in the list of
  options because some people report errors, although I can not reproduce
  locally, implying it is a change in GNU findutils.  (#154056)

* Mon Apr  4 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-19

- xfs.init updated with fixes for chkfontpath invocation, as the previous
  code did not filter the output of chkfontpath very good.  The new sed
  filtering is more reliable now, until chkfontpath is enhanced to provide
  the info in a way that does not require filtering.
- xfs.init updated to handle .ot[cf] fonts before .tt[cf] fonts, which is a
  small optimization for the case of dirs containing .ot[cf] and .tt[cf]
  fonts, as it bypasses the prior invocation of ttmkfdir which would get
  discarded anyway.  Now only one of the two will be invoked, however the
  resulting fonts.dir will be identical to before.
- xfs.init updated to *always* run fc-cache without arguments, in order to
  ensure all fontconfig configured font directories have updated cache
  files. (#133451)
- xfs.init should no longer try to create files on read-only filesystems,
  coincidentally due to the above changes, except when the font metadata
  is genuinely outdated, which is an error condition no matter how the
  filesystem is mounted (#74398)

* Sun Apr  3 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-18

- Added new file "CHANGELOG-rpm" as SOURCE25, which contains all rpm spec
  file changelog entries from XFree86 4.3.0 and older era of historical
  significance, in order to reduce the per-subpackage rpm payload costs
  of large changelogs at install time, and to generally reduce spec file
  clutter.

* Sun Apr  3 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-17

- Remove precompiled video and input drivers and duplicate copy of Xorg
  server binary from xorg-x11-sdk subpackage as they are unnecessary and
  non-useful duplication consuming CDROM space.

* Sat Apr  2 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-16

- Added xorg-x11-6.8.2-use-linux-native-pciscan-by-default.patch to fix PCI
  config space contention issue by changing the X server to default to using
  Linux native PCI interfaces instead of directly banging on PCI space
  itself (#152608).
- Clean up xorg-x11-doc subpackage by removing junk that gets installed that
  should not have been installed by the upstream Makefiles.

* Sat Apr  2 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-15

- Added "find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT -name CVS -type d | xargs rm -rf" to rm -rf
  section of %install, to force CVS directories to be removed so they do not
  end up getting installed in the final packaging.

* Tue Mar 29 2005 Mike A. Harris <mharris at redhat.com> 6.8.2-14

- Added "Provides: libGL = 1" virtual provide to the xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL
  subpackage, and "Provides: libGLU = 1" virtual provide to the
  xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU subpackage, so that packages providing the headers
  can require the virtual provide, rather than a specific implementation.
  Currently restricted to build_fc4 for beta testing.
- Added "Requires: libGL >= 1, libGLU >= 1" to xorg-x11-devel package, as the
  libGL and libGLU headers are currently present in xorg-x11-devel.  Also
  restricted to build_fc4 for testing.  Once confirmed safe, with no
  regressions, all of these changes should be enabled simultaneously for all
  builds.
