[Ltib] Re: Found issue relating to xorg-x11-proto-devel.spec and xextproto-7.0.2.tar.bz2

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Rodney,

I have uploaded the missing file referenced by xorg-x11-proto-devel.spec
so your build should now work (at least for that package).

There are 2 ways that xextproto can be provided, either as an individual
package (when building Kdrive) or as part of a combo package provided by
xorg-x11-proto-devel.spec when building the full (and experimental) full
X server.

Because xorg-x11-proto-devel.spec is actually imported from
xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.3-12.fc9.src.rpm (Fedora 9), I'd like to leave
this .spec file as-is.  The other version came into existence when X was
 originally provided as split-out packages by ProFUSION.

Regards, Stuart
