Packages
Rebuilt
- a/shadow-4.2.1-arm-5.txz
adduser: added “input” to additional user groups. Thanks to stormtracknole. - a/sysvinit-scripts-2.1-noarch-11.txz
Handle remote (NFS, etc.) mounts with spaces in the name. Thanks to upnort. - l/libzip-1.5.1-arm-4.txz
Make sure that the API-CHANGES file is included in the package documentation. - x/xorg-server-1.20.0-arm-3.txz
Applied some patches that other distributions have been using for a while:
Fix glamor so that the return value from glamor_fds_from_pixmap matches
what's expected (thanks to Darth Vader for pointing out these patches).
Autobind secondary GPUs to the master as output sink / offload source. This
seems like a beneficial patch until/unless DEs start to handle this.
For nvidia cards, if they are GeForce 8 or newer use the modesetting driver
by default. Seems to be recommmended by upstream where they indicate that
fixes going into nouveau are primarily to target older cards for legacy
support and that the modesetting ddx is preferable for newer ones:
