cygwin-xfree

[Chris Faylor <cgf@cygnus.com>]

I have recently offered CVS space to the the guy who has been working on
the port of XFree86 to Cygwin.

I thought he wanted it to upload the source code for a few drivers.

It turns out that he wants to upload pretty much all of the XFree86
source code since there were, apparently, a number of changes required
for Cygwin.

So, two question:

1) What does everyone think about adding another 150MB to the server.  There
   seems to be more than adequate disk space available for this but 150MB
   is still a pretty massive project.  I can just imagine what will happen
   to sourceware the first time someone checks this out.

2) I assume that if you all think that 1) is no problem then this directory
   should be winsup/xfree.  The winsup directory is not being mirrored by
   any of the CVS mirrors, right?

I'm have mixed feelings about this.  If we can't provide this, the developer
will go to Source Forge.  Maybe that's the best thing.  He's already split
the development that had started for cygwin so that there is just a generic
msvc/mingw version of everything as well as a cygwin-specific branch.  It
would probably be not too much work to set up on Source Forge and maybe
it would even give Cygwin a little publicity.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?
