So far, the general plan has been to bump the ABI the first time a change occurs after a release and then not bump it again for the rest of the release process. We've only got a 16 bit integer space to work in though, so if it changes once a month, we'll have to come up with a plan for what to do in about 5000 years. > Does it really have to be supported to build against random older > snapshots of unstable xserver? Previous stable versions, yes. Random server du jour bits from master, less important to me at least. The ABI/API may well change in various incompatible ways during the development process and so an absolute rule requiring perfect compatibility with every checkout may be a pain to follow. -- [email protected]
