Hey everyone,

If anybody has good reasons why -r4 shouldn't be unleashed upon the
unsuspecting ~arch users, respond to this (on-list please) before 0000
UTC Wednesday. Why then? Well, my finals will be over, so I'll have time
to deal with the expected deluge of reports.

Why is -r4 interesting again?
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/22986 details a number
of the changes. I recently added a new patchset with some more,
including fixes to:

* keyboard model default and key repeating -- might fix a few "some of
my keys don't work" problems, because the default used to be pc101
rather than pc105 with the new kbd driver.
* libGL segfaults
* some xmodmap problems
* latest Xpm security fix allows absolute paths again (fixes the GIMP's
Xpm plugin)

We need more testers to see which other packages are broken regarding
how they test for X libraries. Some of them assume the libraries won't
be in /usr/lib so supply a -L/path/to/X/libs even if they're
in /usr/lib. This results in a naked -L, which breaks things. If anyone
sees things suddenly breaking, check config.log for this. See
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72124 for an example fix.

Thanks,
Donnie
