70ed656: Add some X11-related packages
For XEmacs I need libXpm... which needs libX11... which needs...
I looked at the descriptions of libpthread_stubs, but it just says
"libpthread_stubs". For util-macros it just says "Xorg util-macros". For
libxcb it says "libxcb".
This is beyond lazy and IMHO unacceptable. Cleaning up the repository to
fix useless package descriptions will be no fun, most likely it will
never get done. These have to be sensible from the moment a package is
first made available.
When I search for stuff and stumble across one of these packages, I want
to know exactly what it is and what it is good for, and I assume I am
not the only one. To get an idea of what the description of
libpthread-stubs should have been, see
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/general/libpthread-stubs.html
Please update the packages with proper information about them. I don't
want to google the package name when the description should have been
right there in the package.
Best regards,
-Stephan
