Subject: Application defaults fail to get loaded (xrdb error messages)
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:01:17 -0500
Package: xterm
Version: 244-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
__> xrdb -merge /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color
In file included from /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color:4:
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm:200:8: warning: missing terminating ' character
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color:23:64: warning: missing terminating ' character
The problem is, this makes several colors default to the
background color (black, for me), and you get black on black text.
This affect, amongst other things, git diff -- no file names can be
seen, which is a trifle disconcerting.

Description:
xterm - X terminal emulator
Closes: 531597541089541160541236541603
Changes:
xterm (246-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
+ interaction between allowSendEvents and the various allowXXXOps
resources clarified in manpage (closes: #531597)

work on 64-bit platform. Wrapping flags (stored in the line-index) are
now copied with line-data (closes: #541160)
+ modify comments in app-defaults files to avoid problem with C
preprocessor used by xrdb (closes: #541603)
+ restore special case in makeColorPair needed for colorBDMode resource
(closes: #541089)
+ correct SetLineFlags() macro, broken in patch #244 when recoding to
avoid gcc-specific bitfields (closes: #541236)
* The issues with the fifo-lines code should now be fixed, so enable it
again.
