[SOLVED] xorg-server-1.10 - when it will be in slackware-current ?

y0g1 · 08-01-2011, 01:55 AM

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a chanse to get xorg-server updated in slackware-current.
I sow some posts, that it brakes libc5 compatibility. I would like to try xorg-server-1.10 on slackware. Do I have to build my own package, or there will be an update to 1.10 for slackware in near future?

It's not even out yet?

EDIT:

Ok the server is finished but the rest of the release is still been worked on.

nvidia problems though ....

You can always check the source and compile your own if you need it so badly

I know, that I can compile it.
I would like to know if xorg-server will be updated or it will stop on version 1.9 ?
I sow message:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archive...ry/052607.html
and I think that it could brake Slackware libc5 compatibility.
Now I read in Slackware description that there is nothing about libc5.
So dropping libc5 compatibility from xorg-server should not be a problem for Slackware.
Am I right?

It says 'older slackware'. libc5 was last in slackware-8.1.

Which is odd, why would you run the latest X server on such an old setup.

Sadly I still remember a.out -> elf and libc5 -> libc6/glibc
