As the XFree86 3.1.3 development cycle is drawing to a close in the
next few weeks, I think it would be beneficial to test the current
beta on some office machines and perhaps other machines around MIT.
In particular, it would be valuable to test XF86Setup.
To hold source and builds, I'd like to request the following
volumes:
Volume Quota Please mount on
project.xfree86 100megs project/xfree86
xfree86.netbsd.nb 100megs project/xfree86/tmp/n
xfree86.linux.nb 100megs project/xfree86/tmp/l
(The source tree is 35.8 megs compressed)
Please note that while the XFree86 Consortium is somewhat fascist with
beta code, they're not entirely so. In particular, the following is
part of the beta agreement:
This material is for your use solely, or the use
of any individuals directly responsible to you (any such individuals
are subject to the above listed terms).
As such, please acl the mounted volumes to jhawk:xfree86-acl:
[lola-granola!jhawk] ~> pts mem jhawk:xfree86-acl -c sipb
Members of jhawk:xfree86-acl (id: -99057) are:
nygren
jhawk
I think a reasonable interpretation is for me too add anyone
reasonable who asks to the acl (assuming they agree to the terms of
the agreement, which are pretty mild but I won't include them here;
probably I'll reference them in the locker's toplevel README).
I'm not sure what the right thing to do with this locker is when the
beta cycle completes. Probably we'll end up clearing out the build
volumes (and of course, there's the next build cycle)...
Thanks.

ps: it might not be unreasonable to do builds for platforms other than
the i386. In particular, it might be useful/sensical to replace some of
the X11R6.1 stuff in outland with XFree86. More thought than I want to
devote right now, that is...
