Adam, I just spent a significant amount of time improving the Xorg 7.4 build system in the trunk so that I will be able to provide compatible RPMs to help users migrate from TurboVNC. Once the final stage of that project is complete, I will be able to provide binary RPMs and DEBs that we can release with TigerVNC 1.1 and which will work on RHEL 4 and later. Eventually, I would like to replace this build system with the new Xorg 7.5 build scripts I developed for Cendio, but those are not yet fully working, and neither of us has time to debug them.
For the foreseeable future, I will need Xorg 1.5.x support to remain in the code base. I am of the school that something should not be removed unless (a) we are very sure that no one is using it, (b) it is becoming difficult to maintain, or (c) it is causing verifiable harm. Xorg 1.5.x support is doing none of the above. Darrell On 4/27/10 8:50 AM, Adam Tkac wrote: > Hello, > > I would like to remove X.Org 1.5.X support from trunk.
