I agree, that would be the sensible thing to do :-).

Last thing: sorting the list in order of priority (as proposed by someone in the ML) would be more clear together with grouping the "duplicate" entries. (Uh -- well, I feel pretty stupid now, probably thanks to a sudden shortage of caffeine in my bloodstream :) so feel free to ignore me!

If you look at the bottom of that bug it gives a link to the new bug on
which work on packages are currently being done:

https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2075

That's the bugreport I was talking about :-) I've re-read it but I'm still confused about what I should do with the version of XFree86 I'm currently using/testing now :p


(If I've read it correctly, only gtk+ and libXpm are the elements affected by this specific security issue and I have a handful of X-related programs that uses one or both of them -- fortunately I'm the only one using the RH9 box used for QA and I have a tight firewall in it, but still, I don't know what I should do :-)
