Description
Zeckma brought this up:
x11perf has moved upstream. Instead of new versions being in https://www.x.org/pub/individual/app/, they are new in https://www.x.org/archive/individual/test/.
in /individual/test there are even more releases of x11perf, there is also a 1.6.2. Seems that the tarballs in /individual/app are just remnands.
If using that /individual/test/ url, we might need to adjust the script in x7app.xml like
mkdir app
cd app
while read sum name; do
[ "${sum:0:1}" == "#" ] && continue
case "$name" in
x11perf-*) dirnm="individual/test" ;;
*) dirnm="individual/app" ;;
esac
echo "$dirnm/$name"
done < ../app-7.md5 | wget -i- -c -B https://www.x.org/pub/
md5sum -c ../app-7.md5
or something like that.
The line in app-7.md5 should read
c740047b28c2a55829849c7043d523c9 x11perf-1.7.0.tar.xz

I am leaning in the direction of just removing that package which doesn't take too much work. Talking with folks on other platforms, I get the impression that no one actually uses it, directly or indirectly.

I commented the package out of the xorg apps page. I note that the package is the only one left that has a .bz2 extension.
Leave the ticket open for a while for comments.

I think the best approach might be to remove this package. It doesn't seem to be used for anything in the book, and I don't think we need a performance benchmarking utility for X11.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xorg-x11perf/ shows there's nothing using x11perf. Maybe we can just remove it.
