[Gnu-arch-users] X.org deciding on a rcs/scm

[Zenaan Harkness]

"We should see X11R6.8 released in the near future, bringing Composite
and many of the eye-candy enhancements first really developed in Kdrive
to our desktops. But freedesktop.org also have their sights set on
X11R7, with some major architectural changes planned or in discussion.
Since they forked from XFree86, the developers have been trying to
modularize the codebase to make it more manageable and digestable, and
by X11R7 they hope to have completed this process. They're also thinking
about moving the files from /usr/X11R6 to /usr (a pet hate of Daniel's),
and after some developers expressed misgivings about CVS they are now
discussing which Revision Control System (RCS) to use."
