xorg-server-21.1.1

[Bruce Dubbs]

New version. Was 21.1.0, now 21.1.1

[Xi Ruoyao]

It needs a new library, libxcvt: ​https://www.x.org/archive//individual/lib/libxcvt-0.1.1.tar.xz

libxcvt is a simple MNNI package.

[Douglas R. Reno]

XWayland has also been separated out and will need to be added as a new package.

Both Xorg and Xwayland installs xvfb. We should disable xvfb in one of them.

I'm in no position to do research at the moment, but I'd think probably Xwayland should have it disabled.

From Marty Jack, on blfs-dev:

When you get to xorg-server 21.1.1 (21.1.0 had a new release engineer and a bunch of missing files) there is a patch you should strongly consider.

​https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/xorg-server/trunk/0001_revert_dpi_calculation.patch

Without this, some applications render huge.  In my testing it was limited to xterm and Qt 5 (but not 6) applications.

[ANNOUNCE] xorg-server 21.1.0
This is the final release of X server 21.1. There has been just one fix since
the second RC and at this time there are no known regressions since the 1.20
release series.

I expect that increased usage after the final release may still uncover
something interesting, so there is a potential for subsequent 21.1.1 patch
being released in the coming weeks rather than after the usual interval of
several months.

Notable changes since 1.20 include:

  - The meson support is now fully mature. While autotools support will still be
  kept for this release series, it will be dropped afterwards.

  - Glamor support for Xvfb.

  - Variable refresh rate support in the modesetting driver.

  - XInput 2.4 support which adds touchpad gestures.
  
  - DMX DDX has been removed.
  
  - X server now correctly reports display DPI in more cases. This may affect
  rendering of client applications that have their own workarounds for hi-DPI
  screens.

  - A large number of small features and various bug fixes.

Note that since 21.1 series XWayland is released separately and thus this
release does not include it.
