* Eric Anholt [So, 09 Mai 2004 at 10:21 GMT]: Welcome back. You must have really missed hacking, since you spend the first days home hacking instead of adding the last Cuba entry to your LJ :-) > The next steps, off the top of my head: > - Commit remaining libraries > - Make sure libX11's locale stuff is complete.

Why not keep the XFree-libraries as non-default, and if people want to use the XFree86-server, they can set XFREE86_VERSION? > The last part is what I'm not sure on.

Well perhaps we do it the same way, as we did it with XFree 3 vs 4. Defining XFREE86_VERSION in make.conf. regards tilman
