[Glibc-bsd-devel] Xfree86 status

[Robert Millan]

Hi!

The status of Xfree86:

 - I took a snapshot from Branden's repo and added my patches, plus more stuff
   to fix misc build errors.
 - I reestructured my patches to sync with the ones that were already merged
   in upstream (for 4.4 release), and fixed gnu.cf to be used for all GNU
   variants with Glibc. This means the imake program in xutils should be
   working again (Santiago, you can rejoice now!)
 - I ported the X server. Had to change a lot of checks for kernel/libc
   identification, but got to write no new code. The most significant changes
   was porting the K*BSD-specific code to Glibc. It compiles on GNU/KNetBSD
   and is likely to compile on GNU/KFreeBSD too. I haven't actualy tested
   the binary on either.
 - A build for GNU/KNetBSD is being uploaded to gnuab. The whole thing should
   build on GNU/KFreeBSD, provided that:
     - the X server compiles (since it is enabled now)
     - you fill the necessary debian/*.freebsd-i386 files
