Re: New Linux x86 binaries of Xprt

Thanks for doing this and for finding/fixing bugs in Xprt.

I see in your FAQ you say:

The best way to get the bug fixes into the X.org & Solaris distributions is
to fill out the bug report form in the X.org source tree and mail it to
[email protected], which will send it to the X.org SI maintainers and the X.org member vendors (including Sun).  Bugs including
reproducible test cases and
fixes are handled more quickly than those without.
