Description Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2004-10-31 09:44:03 UTC 
Hi Keith,
        in the process of building X.org packages for Debian, i noticed that the
version of Xrender 0.8.4 shipped at http://pdx.freedesktop.org/~xlibs/release/
is not the same as 0.8.4 shipped inside the monolithic tree.

The difference appears to be isolated to AddTrap.c and relavant include files.

Wouldn't this change require a change in the version of the soname?

Both the version generate so.1.2.2 but they are not the same and the new tree
(can't remember exactly where) would fail to link/compile with the old 0.8.4
if shipped externaly (as Debian does).

Regards
Fabio

PS nevermind that Debian still ships 0.8.3. I did my own test packages before
reporting here.

The posted tarballs are total bong, and need to be updated; see
http://freedesktop.org/~xlibs/xlibs-1.0.1/proposed-tarball/ for something which
is far closer to accuracy.
