XFree86 3.9.16 can be found at the XFree86 ftp server, and at mirrors of this server. This snapshot is available primarily in source form. Binaries for some platforms may be made available at a later time.
The source for version 3.9.16 is split into three tarballs:
X3916src-1.tgz
, X3916src-2.tgz
,
X3916src-3.tgz
. The first contains everything except the
fonts and general X11 documentation. It is sufficient for building
XFree86 is you already have a set of fonts. The second contains the
fonts and the source for the general X11 documentation. The third
contains the general X11 documentation in hardcopy format.
A source patch relative to version 3.9.15 is also available.
Because of its size, it is split into two parts.
The patch files are 3.9.15-3.9.16.diff1.gz
and
3.9.15-3.9.16.diff2.gz
. These patches should
be applied to a clean 3.9.15 source tree, working from the directory
containing the xc/
directory. The patches should be applied by
running:
gunzip < 3.9.15-3.9.16.diff1.gz | patch -p0 -E
gunzip < 3.9.15-3.9.16.diff2.gz | patch -p0 -E
rm -fr xc/fonts/scaled/Type1/latin2
The contrib part of the distribution can be found in the following tarball:
X3916contrib.tgz
.
To format the XFree86 documentation, the latest version of our doctools
package. That is available as doctools-1.1.tgz
.
