At this point, given that the X.Org tree is still monolithic, our Mesa usage is somewhat independent of Mesa releases in my view. I chose to integrate the development branch because of the great advances made in the DRI drivers in general (though we have some issues to resolve still, as bugzilla shows), though I was concerned about using something that wasn't blessed as a release. I would like to continue using the current codebase, though we should probably make it clear in glxinfo (for example) that this is a development branch we're using. That is, unless a release were to happen from the head branch the next couple of days. -- Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
