Ben (or anyone else with a fd.o account), are you able to ssh into your shell access? I can't: (17:13:30 Sat Dec 01 2007 jeremy@tifa i386) ~ $ ssh jeremyhu@annarchy.freedesktop.org ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host (17:13:40 Sat Dec 01 2007 jeremy@tifa i386) ~ $ ssh jeremyhu@people.freedesktop.org ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host --- Ok, now for the bulk of what I am here to say... I have marked git as 1.3.0-apple2 for xserver and bumped X11.app to 2.1.0. Files for these are being uploaded to my school computer since fd.o is down and I don't want to put them at xquartz.macosforge.org yet until others test out the package to make sure I didn't screw it up. This is the first .pkg I've ever made, so PLEASE test it out. I tried it on my powerbook G4, and it seems to work. You can get it here: http://cloud.cs.berkeley.edu/~jeremy/X11/2.1.0/ Assuming I get no negative feedback on this in the next few hours (or requests to wait for feature X that will be patched soon), I'll put it up on xquartz.macosforge.org and announce it. Ben, I don't really like the idea of using the wiki file-attachment for our releases. Is there any way we can get a simple ftp drop? Maybe even http://xquartz.freedesktop.org just for the file distributions? --Jeremy

Nope, annarchy seems to be Tango-Uniform to me; I'm asking them about it.

Looks good! It seems to install cleanly on my system. Eventually, we may want to add a README or some explanatory text. Only minor nits I noticed: 1. What's the difference between xvfb and xfake? How about xnest and Xephyr? I'm asking, because I'm trying to figure out what we (Apple) need to pick up for a future update. 2. Is there any reason we can't go ahead and call this X11R7.3 in the About box? 3. We should probably refer to this package as "X11" (as opposed to X11User), because it includes parts of what would traditionally go into the SDK package (the man pages for functions, and the header files). That's perfectly fine; I see no reason to bother with splitting it into two packages. 4. It'd be super-spiff to get the Dock icon for Xquartz thing in, but being able to pass arguments to X11.app is probably good enough. Eventually I want to get us hooked up with Sparkle, but this is more than good enough for our first "release". Looking good!

Also, wasn't there a patch to xauth to get rid of the stupid warning message? -- Ben Byer CoreOS / BSD Technology Group, XDarwin maintainer

Yeah... and the license file as well...

I dunno... I just work here...

X11R7.3 includes xserver-1.4 and many other changes (which are gonna go into X11.app 2.2 ... check the ChangeLog I have in the wiki). xserver-1.3 was intermediate between x11r7.2 and 7.3

Ok, I just noticed that the package was called X11User.pkg still in the Leopard install, so I wanted to keep that the same... I'll change it.

I'll take a look at that again and see how easy it is to include.

Yeah, I figure we'll do 2.1.1 sometime in a couple weeks. I just want to get something out there with all these fixes we do have rather than keep delaying for "one more fix" forever.

Looks like Xvfb and Xnest are dated and unmaintained... and Xephyr and Xfake do all that they did plus more... I'm guessing that we should just include Xephyr and Xfake. If people complain about the missing Xnest/Xvfb and Xephyr/Xfake can't take care of their needs, then it is probably a bug that needs to be fixed in Xephyr/Xfake. --Jeremy

Okay, that sounds like a plan to me. -- Ben Byer CoreOS / BSD Technology Group, XDarwin maintainer
