Maybe you should consider using a different ProjectRoot setting for each release, for example: #define ProjectRoot /usr/XFree86_4.3.0 #define NothingOutsideProjectRoot YES that should ensure that no existing files get overwritten (unless you happen to already have stuff installed under /usr/XFree86_4.3.0). > Finally in the xf86site.def file it still lists a bunch of stuff related > to Tcl/Tk and XF86Setup.

Is anyone interested in seeing it resurrected? Maybe the 'xmseconfig' command (which relies on parts of the XF86Setup code being installed) could be useful still. > > Regards, > > --- > Kendall Bennett > Chief Executive Officer > SciTech Software, Inc. > Phone: (530) 894 8400 > http://www.scitechsoft.com > > ~ SciTech SNAP - The future of device driver technology! ~ > > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
