[Dri-devel] dri-devel FAQ

[F. <j_r...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I've finished compiling the the information gathered from the dri-devel 
archives into the FAQ. Since my university network was again down I was 
not able to put in my workstation's web server so I took the liberty of 
attach it in this mail. I'll publish in the same site 
(http://mefriss1.swan.ac.uk/~jfonseca/dri/ ) in the meanwhile anyway.


I hope that you don't get disappointed - it's not yet complete but has 
several pieces of wisdom. I'm sure that some of the original authors will 
get nostalgic feelings when reading it.. :-)

I would like to get feedback on it. Either personally or to the dri-devel 
mailing list (to receive peer review).


I especially want that you make corrections on:

- Incorrect information: e.g., I've taken some assumptions is the 
questions as right since they were'nt refuted in the answers but that is 
not necessarily true.

- Out of date information: e.g., There are reference to branches which I 
don't know if they were merged in the trunk.

Please don't bother yourself to make comments/suggestions on:

- FAQ Structure: There are obviously stuff misplaced but the structure 
will evolve as I include stuff from the DRI original documents.

- Style or typos: Only once the whole information is gathered I will start 
looking on this.


If you have memory of interesting emails in the dri-devel that weren't 
included please tell me so. You may feel free to give more FAQs (with 
answers of course!) to include.

In summary, now it only matters that the information is _here_ and is 
_correct_, as much as possible.

Regards,

Jose Fonseca
