This is for information only: Later today (after one last build), I intend
to mark xorg-x11-r1 stable for sparc.  This is a security upgrade, 
affecting only xdm -- see bug 53226.  (The same security patch is present
in xfree-4.3.0-r6, and old xfree-4.3.0-r6 HAS BEEN RENAMED -r7; -r6 is
marked ~sparc and will stay that way unless someone screams:  With the
upgrade you do get the xdm patch, but you still have to apply the 19776
patch by hand if you care about libGL.)

As far as I can tell, the upgrade is seamless.  It has the advantage of
getting all xorg-x11 users on the same baseline (instead of on various
~sparc versions of xorg-x11 picked up along the way).

If this causes anyone grief, now would be a good time to mention it.

Regards,
Ferris
