Yep - that's what's written in our release process instructions at: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ReleaseHOWTO > It would be very useful if each `module' repo were also to have tags > that reflect which of its revisions is included in which xorg > releases.

That probably wouldn't be too hard to automate given the scripts I already wrote to map modules & tags to the release versions, but I don't think I'll have time to get to it soon. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
