Package maintainers,

Please find attached a list of binary packages which currently list a
dependency on monolithic xorg-x11-* packages, together with their new
dependencies as I could best determine.

Please review this list and:

* Let me know if there is anything you think may be missing from your
packages, e.g. fonts or programs.

* Dependencies listed in (parenthesis) are obsolete libraries.
Compatibility packages for these libraries will be provided in the
short-term so that nothing breaks, but you should be prepared to rebuild
your package ASAP after the transition.  libXp6 and libdpstk1 are
disappearing altogether; packages using libXaw8 will depend on libXaw7
once rebuilt.

* If your package is installed into /usr/X11R6, be aware that this is
being removed from PATH in the transition.  Please be prepared to
rebuild your package ASAP after the transition into /usr.

These dependencies will be updated immediately after X11R7.4 is moved
into the distro; timing is dependent on the ITA under review.

If you have any questions, please let me know.


Yaakov
