This is a good time to remind people/establish the principle that driver bug fixes should be propogated to the mesa-6_0_branch of the Mesa repository. Brian's always done a good job of making sure core mesa fixes get copied over, but it shouldn't come down to him alone.
In particular, the recent TCL lighting fixes for the radeon & r200 drivers should get pushed down into Mesa 6.0.
Do we want to bring Mesa 6.0's branch into the DRI repository now or stick with the way we have it currently ?
I guess if we stick with the way it is now, then most developers will track Mesa's trunk and we may start to lag stable releases.
I like the way we have it now, to be truthful. If we develop on a branch or branches, we get little or no testing, and we really want testing.
If someone wants a stable branch, they will be able to get one. It doesn't take too much effort to ensure bugfixes make their way onto the stable branch also. If someone has a bug with the stable branch, the information that it is fixed on the trunk will help track it down.
What I'd really like to be able to do now is build the dri drivers directly out of the Mesa tree.
