ROCK Newsflash September 2004
Last month the main topic on the rock-devel list was praenti's X.org
patches. Unfortunately he didn't manage to get a dual-installation
of both XFree86 and X.org working in a reasonable manner so it's
currently only possible to select one or the other during build.
Another hot topic were problems arising from the new package
splitting feature: tar choked on the colon in the filename, assuming
it should put/get the file on/from a remote host. After some
discussion that it should not do so if reading from stdin it was
fixed by forcing it to use the local host.
A few days later th found another occurrence of the problem which was
fixed similarly.
That's all for this month.
