Actually, my question was just about whether you pick "exact" 4.3.0 code or >probably the code several hours more fresh... No prob. Our XFree86 source code tarball is 100% pristine and created from a CVS tag of the official codebase (xf-4_3_0). That way any modifications done to the source code base via patching are very clear what is official pristine code and what is a modification of the pristine code. When CVS checkins go into the stable branch of CVS for 4.3 now, I will update Patch0 in the rpm packaging to patch the pristine source up to the stable branch (as I've done in the past with 4.2.1, 4.2.0, 4.1.0, 4.0.3, 4.0.2). This way we've got both the pristine release, and the pristine stable branch, and can easily determine what was changed, and wether it was an upstream change since 4.3.0 or a Red Hat change, etc. Makes it easier for other people to know wether something is modified or pristine as well, and wether any change was done upstream or elsewhere, etc. >Yes, I checked - xkprint has no patches.

If this isn't in our bugzilla already, feel free to add it too and I'll track it. >I just hope, when you'll make rpms for 8.1 - you'll either pick >more fresh XFree from CVS or apply some patches to fix this >couple of problems. We don't make RPMs for Mandrake 8.1, but I can pass any patches on to their maintainer. >I take all these things close to my heart because I participated >in this 4.3.0 XKB "revolution" (by submitting xfree86.xml) and >really want these things to work properly...
