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 ftp.x.org in the directory pub/R6/fixes, or on your local X mirror site, using anonymous FTP.
For those without FTP access, individual fixes can be obtained by electronic mail by sending a message to
xstuff@x.org
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:
send fixes number
where number is a decimal number, starting from one. To get a summary of available fixes, make the line:
index fixes
If you need help, make the line:
help
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:
path user%host.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
