That's even easier to understand: Bijoux = ATrpms Plus Stuff. That could be very useful as there have been moments in the past when I've needed things in Myth for which there are patches but which haven't yet made it into your releases (VDPAU, etc.) I'd love to hear from Yeechang on the downgrading (backgrading??) question. I would imagine using Bijoux for some feature but then moving back to ATrpms once that feature makes it there. But that would probably mean going from an older Bijoux release to a newer ATrpms release. Seems like lots of possibilities for problems. _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list atrpms-users@atrpms.net http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
