Perhaps I should have stated this explicitely: My point wasn't really that much that xorg-edgers entirely removes the need for local builds. But it makes them much easier: you can simply get recent versions of all the protos and other dependencies from xorg-edgers -- making the actual build almost trivial... -antrik- _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
