Mostly it's been getting new tarballs out with the accumulated bugfixes and cleanups that have been sitting in git for months, along with getting them built with current autoconf/autotools (including AM_SILENT_RULES) so that fewer people have to autoreconf before building them. There was also a bit of me getting tired of the docs sitting in xorg-docs waiting for someone to convert them to a format with free, open source widely available tools before moving out to the individual modules, and deciding that *.txt files and groff files counted for that. I wasn't expecting groff to cause as many issues as it did in the tinderbox - sorry about that - since we release xorg-docs so rarely I tried to get a bunch out of it before this release. I also would have liked to see them out farther before the release, but didn't have a chance to get them done myself before now, and no one else got to it either. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list xorg-devel@lists.x.org http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
