Is a possibility, but I'm not keen on having more and more dangling symlinks. 1. Do nothing; have redundant files. 2. Remove them, expect complaints. 3. Mark them as deprecated, remove in 5.9? 4. Symlinks forevermore (not clear if we can symlink and emit a warning) 5. Profit? -Chris _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
