Hi Philip,

I wrote UpdateXorgRecipe to ease the task of creating new recipes for Xorg
packages. What it does it to scan the Xorg repository at
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual for new version of programs.
The script attempts to create a new version of existing recipes, or to
create a new recipe if there's no previous recipe for that program. The
script also modifies the meta-recipe (the recipe which "groups" recipes,
such as Xorg-App and Xorg-Driver).

Still, some recipes may need to be manually updated. In your specific case,
it could be that Xorg-Server still holds a reference to the old Xorg-Proto
meta-recipe. You can check that by looking into its Resources/Dependencies
and the actual Recipe file.

Gmane was shut down a while ago. It looks like marc.info can help you,
though: https://marc.info/?l=gobolinux-users
