standalone, for testing.
They had to fork, since one can use glibc, the other can not.
Has anyone recently worked to merge this with current x.org and scitech code?
it's been on the list for years. The last time we tried it, with some "optimized" code from other places, it totally broke.
So we need to be careful. }}}
#25: Remove one x86 emulator from the tree? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: uwe | Owner: somebody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: code | Version: v3 Resolution: | Keywords: Include_gantt: 0 | Dependencies: Due_assign: MM/DD/YYYY | Due_close: MM/DD/YYYY ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by stepan):
* version: v2 => v3
Comment:
I suggest we leave the userspace version out of v3, but dont touch it in v2. This way we can always easily find it but it does not become a burden
