I have moved xinit (and thus startx) from xserver-common to xbase-clients,
so this no longer necessary. Nothing in xserver-common depends on the X
libraries, which was the original intent of the package.
XFree86 3.3.2.3a-8pre9v4 is available at
htt
here's always room for one more. But in a crowd like that,
don't expect (or necessarily try) to be the life of the party.
Now, I've got a lot of work to do and I need to get back to it. I've got
Slootman on my back about X for the Alpha again. :)
This concludes my announce
d versions of these packages as
soon as is convenient, in the event that their contents do change in the

4) Get xfs running as its own user, not as root.
5) Further examine PAM-ification issues of xdm and the X server. The X

the design of xdm as far as good PAM support is conc

I do think we should go ahead and get some policy in place, however, for

addition of a versioned contour flag to "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS" or
