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? cgf From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chris Faylor To: overseers@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: cygwin-xfree Date: Wed, 03 May 2000 19:18:00 -0000 Message-ID: <20000503221805.A13179@cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-q2/msg00142.html Message-ID: <20000503191800.Ykm5888jG4eG6YWtKZDgsYvWqUxUWaNPYNXnZXVaQU0@z> I have recently offered CVS space to the the guy who has been working on the port of XFree86 to Cygwin.
