We occasionally put out patches to X Consortium software, to fix any
|
|
serious problems that are discovered. Such fixes (if any) can be found
|
|
on <b>ftp.x.org</b> in the directory <b>pub/R6/fixes</b>,
|
|
or on your local X mirror site,
|
|
using anonymous FTP.<tt> </tt>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For those without FTP access, individual fixes can be obtained by
|
|
electronic mail by sending a message to
|
|
<dl><dt><dd>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
xstuff@x.org
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the usual case,
|
|
the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line body and
|
|
no subject, in either case the line looking like:
|
|
<dl><dt><dd>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
send fixes <i>number</i>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
where <i>number</i> is a decimal number, starting from one. To get a
|
|
summary of available fixes, make the line:
|
|
<dl><dt><dd>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
index fixes
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you need help, make the line:
|
|
<dl><dt><dd>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
help
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
|
|
addresses. If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response. If you
|
|
happen to know an explicit return path, you can include include one in the
|
|
body of your message, and the daemon will use it. For example:
|
|
<dl><dt><dd>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
path <i>user</i>%<i>host</i>.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</dl>
