The git tree builds fine here, anyway (modulo some warnings). so quick, cut an alpha1 before it breaks. ;) (but if you mean: we should get the latest stuff on the list in first, and fix it so it builds - ok - but there will probably always be more stuff to pull in, so at some point when we have a reasonable amount of it in place, we could cut a test release? There's always "alpha2"...) -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
