<para><application>XFree86</application> is a freely redistributable open-source
|
|
implementation of the
|
|
<application>X</application> Window System. <application>XFree86</application> provides a client/server
|
|
interface between display
|
|
hardware (the mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
|
|
while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a standardized
|
|
application interface (<acronym>API</acronym>).</para>

|
<para>The first three packages are the <application>XFree86</application> programs,
|
|
the fourth and fifth are fonts, the sixth is normal documentation, and the seventh
|
|
is hardcopy documentation. There are also two packages
|
|
<filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, which contain programs to regenerate hardcopy
|
|
documentation, and <filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename>, which contain
|
|
<application><acronym>GNU</acronym> <acronym>TAR</acronym></application>
|
|
and <application>zlib</application> which are already installed on an
|
|
<acronym>LFS</acronym> system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To check your downloads for integrity, download the <filename>SUMS.md5sum</filename>
|
|
file. Then:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>md5sum -c SUMS.md5sum</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The only errors you should see are for <filename>README</filename>,
|
|
<filename>doctools-1.3.1.tgz</filename>, and
|
|
<filename>utils-1.1.0.tgz</filename> files if you did not download them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The fixes subdirectory also has a <filename>SUMS.md5sum</filename>. Note that
|
|
this is the same filename as the sums for the main sources, so you need to rename the
|
|
file if you download it. Otherwise, you can just look at it and use it to
|
|
check against the patch files:</para>
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>md5sum 4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff.gz</command></userinput>
|
|
<userinput><command>md5sum fontfile.diff</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>After unpacking the <filename>X430src-?.tgz</filename> files and uncompressing the
|
|
diff file, change to the <filename class="directory">xc</filename> directory and run:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>patch -Np1 -i ../4.3.0-4.3.0.1.diff</command></userinput>
|
|
<userinput><command>pushd lib/font/fontfile/</command></userinput>

<userinput><command>patch -N -i ../../../../fontfile.diff</command></userinput>
