Dear developers,
I heard 10.1 will contain X.org 6.9, but seeing as 7.0 is going to be the branch for future updates, why did we not choose to use 7.0? Fedora Core 5 uses 7.0 so that's a proof-of-possibility, right?
The difference from 6.9 to 7.0 is only the way of packaging. It does not make a big difference whether this move is done between 10.0 and 10.1 or between 10.1 and 10.2.
Code wise it's the same - but it is indeed separate packages and AFAIK no more /usr/X11R6 anymore. So, this needs changes to other packages and since for the user there's no visible change in running the apps, we decide to upgrade after 10.1 is out, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
