Dunno how can you not be able to extract my tarball.. probably a really weird archiving tool you got there - how about just 'tar xvfz xorg-server-git.tar.gz'?
About gitorious/github, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. That we'd do changes _there_ and the other one, whoever is the maintainer, would just update the package(s) in the end? Wouldn't that be rather unnecessary thing to do, when 1) the changes would first be posted to gitorious and _then_ here - is the log keeping so important? 2) If the xorg-server git tree changed and the package would need to be updated in order to compile and the maintainer one wouldn't be able to update the package for whatever reason (and didn't know that was gonna happen and thus didn't disown the package) then what(?) - the other person would either need to wait for the maintaining person to update the package or tell a TU in the forums/IRC/mailing list to disown the package so that he could update it himself.
I wouldn't really like to be doing that :S.

Still the same situation.
Det maybe we can collaborate on them using git I got repo on giorious for this.

Nope, you probably just had "xorg-server-git.tar.gz" on your desktop already causing my tarball to be renamed to "xorg-server-git.tar(1).gz" or something like that. When you tried extracting _this_ tarball it resulted in a .tar file with name something like "xorg-server-git (1)" that would of course then need to be renamed to "X.tar" to have it extracted completely.
But you need not to just stop "associating" with this thing and "glib2-newest" when you can just orphan both packages and then we both do changes to each one of them when we think such changes should be done.
E.g. If you are busy enough to not update either of these packages - I can do it for you by adopting -> updating -> disowning.
I used to do that for like 6 months when I started out as a 'package maintainer' (or whatever) but in the whole 6 months period only _1_ person actually updated one of my packages when it was out of date - and just that single time. But maybe 'we' will do better than that.

@Det: The package you uploaded is broken (I got only xorg-server-git file inside of it) and it's format is bz2 not tar.gz ;)
BTW. Would you like to adopt package when it will be orphaned?

Ok, apparently libxres was included with [Testing]'s xorg server 1.9 as a makedependency.
