* End user modifiable configuration has moved from
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<someprog>
to
/etc/X11/<someprog>
This is consistent with our own policies as well as other projects.
The files & directories that were moved have _NOT_ been marked
`obsolete', as they contain user configuration and therefore we
don't want the automatic "obsolete file removal" mechanism to
remove them.
* The /etc/font/* and /etc/X11/* configuration files are installed
with 'configinstall' (not 'install'), using CONFIGFILES and
CONFIGSYMLINKS.
This is so that a normal 'make build' in src/x11 will not
trash your configuration.
* A 'distribution' target has been added to src/x11 to perform
'make configinstall' in the appropriate subdirectories.
(Should we consider making 'configinstall' a first-class target?)
* The xdm pixmaps have have been moved to /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps
where the other pixmaps are.
(I don't consider these pictures end-user configuration).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
* These changes require an up to date xsrc, and 'make cleandir' should
be performed in src/x11 before a build for the changes to fully take
effect.
(from /usr/xsrc) using bsd-style Makefiles.
Why?
- sane cross building
- easy builds from read only source
- non-root building
- imake is evil
