If there is strong enough interest in 6.9 rpms, I might be able to
be convinced to spend some of my personal time updating my previous
6.8.99.x packages on the weekend sometime. Of course it has to be
a pleasant experience for me to expend the effort though. The last
time I did it, the feedback I got from people was mostly inflammatory
and negative, with no appreciation for the effort, so I stopped doing
it. For an example of what I mean by this, simply look back a few
messages in this list to discover how rude and thankless people can
sometimes be.
I am very interested in 6.9 rpms for FC4 (I need multihead,
independent, and concurrent X servers). I tried to rpmbuild my own
using the kit at
http://sergiomb.no-ip.org/xorg/ which is based upon
your previous 6.8.99.x packages, but could not get a working package.
I considered trying to get it to work myself, but the spec file is
more complex than any spec file I have ever seen.
So, I for one would be very appreciative of any time you spent on the
issue. Hurray for Mike Harris!
