We have two choices:
* Move those apps outside of package/x11r7, so that package/x11r7 only
contains packages that are part of official X11R7 releases. But we
already have things like the x86-input-tslib package that is in
package/x11r7, but is in fact not a X.org project at all.
* Add additional exceptions for those applications in the xorg-release
script, just to make the output of this script more meaningful.
I also feel like we have a lot of those old xapp_<something> and that
not many of them are actually useful beyond a good old xeyes to test
that your X.org server runs and that the mouse is working, and possibly
a few tools like xapp_xev and stuff like that.
But really, who cares about xman, xmh, xbiff, xcalc and similar things?
Best regards,
Thomas
