Re: [Ltib] XFree86 package

[Ken Gilmer]

Hey Stuart,

  Ok, thanks for that.  I just looked in the dist/lfs directory, saw  
that package, and assumed it would work.  I have some questions  
still :).  So is the general rule that packages in /var/freescale/ 
pkgs are supported packages and those in dist/lfs are not?  IRT the  
new LTIB features that you mentioned, do you have a rough time when  
you expect to release?

  Also, in terms of full distribution vs LTIB, could you clarify  
where the line is?  What else beside XFree86 do you as out of scope.   
And, is the reason for this distinction technical or simply a matter  
of overhead and maintenence time?

Thanks!
Ken Gilmer
