[Xorg 6.9 & 7.0 are built from the same source code, but with different build systems - the classic Imake for 6.9, and GNU autoconf tools for 7.0. I'm working on dropping the 6.9 bits into our build system so we can have packages for testing soon, and will see if we can get those out to the OpenSolaris community somehow. Getting migrated to the 7.0 build system will take longer, but is planned once we've got the code stable. -alan- ]
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Xorg 6.9 and 7.0 Release Candidate Zero Date: Tue, 02 Aug 2005 01:10:38 -0400 From: Adam Jackson <[email protected]> Reply-To: X.Org Modularization Working Group Discussion List <xorg-modular at lists.x.org> To: xorg at lists.freedesktop.org, xorg-modular at lists.x.org We're pleased to announce the availability of the zeroth release candidate(s) of the next Xorg release(s). Both the monolithic 6.9 tree and the modular 7.0 tree have been tagged. The monolith tarball is available at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R6.9-RC0/xorg-x11-6.8.99.900.tar.bz2 The modular build is available as individual tarballs under: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R7.0-RC0/ The RC number is not accidental. This is unpolished and rough, and is only just at the point where we can usefully have large numbers of people testing it and fixing things. So please do! In particular, the modular distribution is only known to build on a few platforms so far (solaris/x86, linux/x86, linux/ia64; and at least partially on linux/amd64, solaris/sparc and osx/ppc), and will probably need fixes to work on other platforms. The only way other platforms can be supported is if people build, test, and fix them, so please test the modular build on as many systems as possible. Bugs should be reported either on the xorg-modular at lists.x.org mailing list or on the Xorg bugzilla at bugs.freedesktop.org. The summarized changelog is available at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ChangesSince68 Further information for working with the modular source tree can be found at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide - ajax
