The MIT-SHM patches have been available since March in my xextproto repo, and were finally reviewed last Thursday by Adam; I'm afraid I was a bit too busy on Thursday to also release a new version of that package. > Not sure what the xserver 1.15 release plan is, but I get the feeling > that you're trying to rush this in just before the release. All of this code has been published for months now; the last week saw some minor protocol updates in response to comments made during XDC. The only rush part of this was the review. I got valuable feedback from several people about technical details in the extension, but I don't recall ever getting feedback about how this might work in non-Linux environments until RC1 was released. > That seems a seriously bad plan given the obvious lack of proper > review and testing that all this new stuff has received. I'm happy to respond to review comments at any time. Sooner is always better, but we're still two months before 1.15 final, so this doesn't seem like the last minute to me. I'm not sure how to get additional testing before RC1 though; I've been running all of this code for months on my machines, but I haven't heard of anyone else bothering to give it a try. The fact that it requires rebuilding a large chunk of the system definitely doesn't encourage building by casual users. > The issue raised by Kristian defenitely feels like a show-stopper to > me. Patch submitted to the mailing list; please help by reviewing and testing in your environment. -- [email protected]
