Maybe it's not the most efficient, but a single tree would cause a whole different kind of problems, and this is how things are, so you have to be aware of the gotchas when mixing the two. > > > The ability to track changes to that with reasons so that we can keep a > > > stable DRM and also the 'DRM of the day' visible to the kernel people - > > > perhaps the devel kernel tree having an option for "Development DRM > > > (XFree86 4.4) (Y/M/N)". > > I like that idea ... essentially two copies of DRM in the kernel tree. > One that is visible always as it is considered most stable with the > current release of XFree86 and the running experimental version. I'm not sure that's a good idea. If someone really needs a bleeding edge DRM, she'll know how to get it. Putting it in the kernel might tempt people to consider it released, which would remove headway for us to iron out interfaces and the like. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
