Hi, I don't understand why the 1.20.x -> 21.x.y change was needed, but I can accept it.
That said, why try to keep VENDOR_RELEASE in the form 1.21.x.y « for backward compatibility » according to comments in meson.build and confiugure.ac (in 21.1 branch) ? This causes XORG_VERSION_SNAP to be set to a non zero value in 21.1.1 and causes the following text to be displayed on startup, even though this is a relased version. """ This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation. It is not supported in any way. Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/. Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release. Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository. See http://wiki.x.org/wiki/GitPage for git access instructions. """ Some may make jokes out of the "It is not supported in any way." sentence. Are relases any more supported ? I'd like to either submit a merge request to remove the PRE_RELEASE test completely from xf86Init.c, or just drop the "compatibililty" right shift of the version. I'm typeing this from an X server build with VENDOR_RELEASE = (((21) * 10000000) + ((1) * 100000) + ((1) * 1000) + 0) and have found no issue yet. What was the need for this "backward compatibility" ? What do you think ? -- Matthieu Herrb
