Ah, yes: I recall that you have a selective memory: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-October/002453.html "MB> #0) I told you many things you did not remember.

"based on that work" ??? Yes, true. We didn't push our code into the mercurial gate, but rather released stuff on external file servers, for several reasons that don't matter here. But didn't we release the full complete diffs and tarballs??? e.g. here: http://www.martux.org/xorg/FOX1.0/src/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/FOX1.0/src/FOXpre1.0_Alan20070901__Moinak20070501__Martin20070930__x64_x86_sparc_merge_XXX.tar.bz2 http://www.martux.org/xorg/FOX1.0/src/fox-gate__AlanMercurDefault20070901sat1153hCEST___VERSUS___XXX__fox-gate__Alan20070901__Moinak20070501__Martin20071012__x64_x86__sparc.gdiff.bz2 http://www.martux.org/xorg/FOX1.0/src/fox-gate__AlanMercurDefault20070901sat1153hCEST___VERSUS___XXX__fox-gate__Alan20070901__Moinak20070501__Martin20071012__x64_x86__sparc_gdiff.txt Announcement: 20071012fri: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-October/002578.html and of course in April: http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20070503__7.2.0/src/0__20070227/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20070503__7.2.0/src/1__20070410/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20070503__7.2.0/src/2__20070430moinakg__x86_NOsparc/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20070503__7.2.0/src/3__20070430moinakg__Belenix_OR_marTux_x86_OR_sparc/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20070503__7.2.0/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/20071008mon/ http://www.martux.org/xorg/OLD/fox-gate/ Observe and take into account that it is called "FOX", CC'ed to indiana-discuss, full of complete Sun license headers, and that the pkgdefs for the binary packages have use the "SUNW" prefix, not BLNX, MRTX or whatever. Bundled with complete and detailed instructions? You could easily have taken the code and pushed it in by yourself. It was synced back then. And I practically had bombarded the xwin-discuss list with all my status info and findings (especially in April, May and then late summer of this year), eg. here: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=27458&tstart=0 Or when I worked on testing the water in terms of a Xsun ddx wrapper module 10 nights and days long: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=144733&; If you don't have the Alzheimer's desease you cannot have forgotten my full-time involvement. It is also unlikely your partner/boss Mr. "S. [anonymoous]" would have gently picked me up from SFO Intl. airport to drive me to Menlo Park and introduce me to the whole rest of the X server group if I hadn't done something that looks important enough to you: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-October/002598.html Seeing you now writing lied half-truths like above ("based on that work") brings me to the point where I will take rotten eggs and fish.

Haven't enough mails been written? No, thanks. Keep it. I wish you what you deserve, more than wishing me, what I do. A long-term community member and good friend had once warned me about you, and back then I didn't believe him. I thought you were my friend. Now, unfortunately, I have to. p.s.
