Yes I was enquiring about objections from others here. If you have objections you mention it, which you have done anyway. So what is the problem with that ? I am building FOX while having only FOX itself on the build machine. All Nevada Xwindows packages were removed. So this config is causing Xscreensaver to enable the extrusion plugins which fail without Freeglut and Gle. The FOX packages should be self-hosting. > I mean in my state / condition of being totally at the end, with pain in my > stomach, hardly capable of performing a thought.

All you need to do is a hg pull and resolve the merge conflicts if any. Alan has been periodically checking in stuff and I have been periodically merging while at the same time testing and building. What is the big problem with that ? And hg in fact makes merging a lot easier. This is not how opensource development works. One does not commit perfect huge codebase in one shot. Rather you should be committing often even if your changes are not fully complete. This also gives others to look at your code assist in bug-fixing and improving. It is an inclusive development model, whereas what you are doing is an exclusive one. Have you posted your diffs at all ? I have no clue what changes you made, and I will actually have problems dealing with one huge merge coming in since I have made several changes to the source that you are working with. > Dear Moinak, I am glad of / happy about having the *privilege* to co-work > with you.

What do you think? > Please do not do one huge merge, it will cause problems. The FOX tree is currently being used for Project Indiana and I have been working to get a working resynced build. One huge merge will cause problems at the last momment. Have you tested your modified Xserver on x86 ? Rather post your diffs somewhere, even if in the form of a tarball so that others can look at it. Then merge one module at a time not everything at once and not the Xserver changes immediately before it is tested on x86 - please post the Xserver patchset and I can then do the testing on x86. What changes do you have for the apps stuff ? Please post your diffs first. I can hold back on merging my apps stuff but I do not understand what big problems it will cause.
