In the wake of a sea of confusion, "huh?"s and "what?"s about this ...

We're eliminating a historical FHS exception for /usr/X11R6. This is
moving in a direction that distribution X packagers are interested in
moving, and a direction that upstream seems to be moving.

I've already widely publicized parts of this move -- >=6.8.0-r4 install
to /usr/lib, ebuilds as far back as xfree installed fonts to
/usr/share/fonts and docs to /usr/share/doc/${P}. This ebuild simply
finishes the move with include/ and bin/, then creates a top-level
symlink at /usr/X11R6 instead of many deeper ones.

If one builds vanilla upstream X with ProjectRoot undefined, it would
install to roughly the same locations as we are now using.

....if only the FHS had considered that one might want multiple versions of the
same package installed...

(seriously, though, there was even a bit of discussion in the freedesktop
mailing lists about the possibility to have multiple X installed, but I guess
that FHS compliance kills this possibility, or at least an easy
implementation of it.)

You're free to install multiple X versions, just do it outside of
portage. There's no more reason to slot X than to slot anything else in
the world, but we don't make every other package slottable.

Something like this:
cat >> xc/config/cf/host.def << EOF
#define ProjectRoot /usr/local/Xone
#define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES
EOF
make World
make install

Hello.

Thank you for you work.

Just installed. The best way to test opengl is to play quake3(?). Thus
After kde starts and then 10 minuts of playing I can tell you that this
release works for me. If you see this message pan is also working (based
on gtk+2.0).

Here are USE flags I compiled with:
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 -3dfx -3dnow -bitmap-fonts
-cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -hardened -insecure-drivers
-ipv6 -minimal +mmx +nls +opengl +pam -sdk +sse -static -truetype-fonts
-type1-fonts (-uclibc) +xprint +xv 0 kB

BTW. I have bitmapfonts installed.

My hardware is IBM Laptop T41:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000] (rev 02)

Thank you again.

Donnie,

All looks good from the ppc standpoint, only ran into 1 issue which was
albeit minor in my upgrade from ppc stable (6.7.0-r3) on all 3 machines
I tried it on. My normal upgrade path for xorg is to emerge -C xorg-x11
&& rm -rf /usr/X11R6 && emerge xorg-x11. Durring the merge phase I ran
into 2 directories in /usr/include (GL and X11) that ended up being
symlinked to themselves (../X11R6/include/GL and ../X11R6/include/X11)
which I could clearly not write to. I had to rectify the problem by
removing the symlinks and creating standard directories in their place.
I don't know if this problem was my fault due to the way I choose to
upgrade xorg or if it is something that should be looked into, I was way
too tired to do so when the build finished last night. Other than that,
kudos are in order, it works great, and dri on my mini now functions
even on my 20" Cinema Display. I plan to test it on ppc64 tonight.

Keep up the good work

Well, apart from that reported problem, compiles and works just fine
so far (I removed fle manually though, not tested your patch). Will
report if there's any further problems. Thanks!

You've got a directory for cyrillic in both places -- /usr/share/fonts/
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/. The one in /usr/X11R6 should be a symlink
to the other one.

I've modified the build slightly to ewarn there instead of die. The
migration, which runs just after remove_font_dirs(), should also catch
that kind of problem.

I have installed this release candidate on a couple sparc systems, and
note the following:

1. (Previously noted) A couple font directories (cyrillic, ukr) were
never made into symbolic links before, and right now they must be
removed by hand;
2. (Previously noted) A couple orphan symbolic links:
a. /usr/include/X11/X11 --> ../X11R6/include/X11
b. /usr/include/GL/GL --> ../X11R6/include/GL (I think; I removed it
before writing this note.)
3. For some reason, /usr/include/GL/glu.h does not get installed (it is
not in /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903/image). With version
6.8.1.902, it is in the image directory and is installed. The problem
seems to be that with ...903, nothing which started in
/usr/X11R6/include/GL is installed, but only files from
opengl/xorg-x11.
So, for example, GL/glext.h is present (it is in both GL/include and
in opengl/xorg-x11/include originally), but GL/glu.h is not installed
because it is only in include/GL to begin with.

This might be sparc only; I cannot verify.

I note that for one install, this file (glu.h) was automatically
moved to /usr/include/GL/glu.h, but apparently from
/usr/X11R6/include/GL, because it is definitely not in the image
for .903.

4. (Sparc only) For this test, I forced the sunffb/xaa patch to
be installed unconditionally because at some point it will be
part of the mainstream patch set. This is just a one-line
change to the ebuild: This, for anyone interested:

- --- xorg-x11-6.8.1.903.ebuild- 2005-02-02 17:54:13.000000000 +0000
+++ xorg-x11-6.8.1.903.ebuild 2005-02-02 17:55:08.000000000 +0000
@@ -487,6 +487,7 @@
cd ${WORKDIR}
EPATCH_SUFFIX="patch" \
epatch ${PATCHDIR}
+ epatch $(FILESDIR)/092_Xserver_sunffb_xaa_extension.diff
cd ${S}
}

Otherwise, everything seems fine. Except for poine -3.-, nothing
really troubling. I haven't figured out what is going on with the
GL include files yet, but the libraries seem to be OK.

Bookkeeping notes:
=================
a. On both systems, I use x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4

b. Use flags for the build/install:
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 (-3dfx) (-3dnow)
+bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened
- -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse)
- -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv [1]

Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
[1] /usr/local/portage

c. This is two installs from one build: First install was from
emerge -buv xorg-x11;
Second from 'emerge -kuv xorg-x11'

d. Both systems use sunffb graphics driver; one for Elite3d-m3, one for
Creator3D, series 2 (ffb2+).

e. This note was written on U2-SMP (ffb2+) running xorg-x11-6.8.1.903
(modified by hand as suggested above).


Hope this helps,
Regards,
