3.2 will be wrapped up and released as soon as I find and fix a
few more specific bugs.  Hopefully within a week.

3.2b1 = 3.2 beta 1

There is no 3.1 tree/branch.  The sources were tagged when 3.1 was
released.  It's done.  3.2 is the stabilization of 3.1.  That means
no new features; only bug fixes.

When you do a check-out or update use the -r (revision) option
to specify the mesa_3_2_dev branch:

	cvs update -r mesa_3_2_dev

The default, main trunc has the Mesa 3.3 sources.  There's been a LOT
of changes from 3.1/3.2 to 3.3.  3.3 is used for the DRI project.
That's where new development happens.

Yes, as I said in email yesterday.

No, as I wrote this morning you'll have to get a sourceforge login and
send it to me so I can add you to the project and enable CVS writes for
you.


> Is the CVS server address still the same as before?

No.  Visit mesa3d.sourceforge.net for the new CVS instructions.

Great! We will concentrate on using the 3.2 sources for our release 
stuff since that will sync up well with us. We may have other bug 
fixes that we want to contribute back also.

Right, I did not look at the version I am using but it is currently 
Mesa 3.3 ;-)

Ok. Is it possible to sync up to *both* branches, so I can have the 
3.2 sources in one directory and the 3.3 sources in another? I would 
like to help work on 3.3, but we need to stick to 3.2 for the time 
being until we release the product.

Ok, I will go do that.

Are there now two Mesa 3D development lists, the original one and now 
the SourceForge one? Wouldn't it make more sense to simply have one 
list?

If you've got bug fixes for 3.2 please check them in ASAP.

Sure, I have two Mesa CVS directories, one for each branch.

Yup.  I'll probably have the old dev list and bug list shut down over
the weekend.

Re: [Mesa3d-dev] Getting Mesa via CVS?

[Kendall B. <Ken...@sc...>]

Hi again,

One other thing I forgot. On the SourceForge web pages it says that I 
need SSH1 in order to get developer access rights to CVS (I am now a 
developer of Mesa so I have the permissions). However where do I get 
SSH1 for Win32 so I can do this (and no, I can't do this from Linux!).

Hi Brian,

> If you've got bug fixes for 3.2 please check them in ASAP.

I don't have any at the moment, but we will be doing some testing 
shortly so we might uncover some. There are a few issues we are 
fixing that we want to add back in if the stuff is not already there.
