Basically no, there's no real progrss on the issue. I was speaking with Brett Smith[0] from the FSF last night about it though, and they are very interested in seeing the issue resolved. You may want to contact him if you're really interested in working on it. - David Nusinow [0] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

tags 368560 etch-ignore thanks I'm granting an etch-ignore tag for this bug because I understand that there is work in progress to persuade the copyright holder to free the code in question, so we should conceivably see a change in the licensing during the lifetime of etch. (Of course, removing mesa from the distribution would completely not be an option anyway, so the only other choice would have been to delay the release and wait for someone to reimplement this code...) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
