I'm not sure why I did things this way in the first place. I think perhaps I was concerned about that I didn't know the license terms for those files and didn't want to get stuck with manually updating them. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> It looks promising as the terms of the license are copied from the X11 license. <A HREF="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB/SGIFreeSWLicB.2.0.pdf.">http://oss.sgi.com/projects/FreeB/SGIFreeSWLicB.2.0.pdf.</A> The build reproducibility is important. Various distros building X must do so from the same source code. Those building from tarballs expect the source code to be complete. One should be able to rebuild a 2 year old server with the same 2 year old gl spec. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> Perhaps it would be better to simply remove these files, and I should just create a package for cygwin containing these files, and then make that a build-time requirement? _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A>: X.Org development Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
