[gentoo-dev] fvwm 2.4.16-r1 marked stable

[Tavis Ormandy]

I've just marked fvwm-2.4.16-r1 stable on x86 and alpha. 

I'm probably going to break some configurations with this update, as
i've introduced some new USE flags and changed the way the USE flags are
handled (-flag now means disable feature, rather than only enable
feature if required libraries/whatever are installed).

Also, fvwm-2.5.7 (from the development branch) is now in portage, it is
totally bombproof, and has some really cool features (Xft anti-aliased
fonts, better internationalisation, alpha-transparency, native png
support, more eye-candy features, etc, etc). Similar to the mutt 
ebuilds, i would like to see this in stable one day...

Other arches, please test :)

sparc: 2.4.8 stable, 2.4.16 marked ~sparc
ppc: not stable, 2.4.16 marked ~ppc
x86: 2.4.16-r1 stable, 2.5.7 ~x86
alpha: 2.4.16-r1 stable, 2.5.7 ~alpha

Tavis,
  fvwm-2.5.7 built and installed fine for me on a couple sparc systems,
and I am right now using it as window manager on them.  What specifically
are you interested in knowing about?

In any case, I'll just keep using it to see what happens. The only change 
I have had to make so far was to adjust "ModulePath" in my
.fvwm/.fvwm2rc file.
