Hi all,
since we now have a new website and a new webmaster I will be
unsubscribing from dri-devel.
I would like to congratulate Liam on a job well done. At the same time I
would like to apologize for my lack of involvement until recently. Had I
gotten a little more involved from earlier on, the

I think the site is ready for primetime. Do the transition all in one go
when you are ready, if you need help let me know.

Much, much better. I have a few more comments though . ;)
1. For the mailing list info, there is a link to the old Geocrawler
archives. I think that should probably be removed because SF.net has their
own archives now and they also include the content from the old Geocr
Two more things that really bug me... :)
1. The large top frame with the logo takes up a lot of screen space. I
really don't think it's needed and it would look nicer if you removed it
or made it smaller.
2. I think you should remove the border around the main logo on the home
page. ie: border=0

Hi Ian,
to upload the new site you have to tar it up, then do the following:
scp tarball.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/groups/d/dr/dri/htdocs/
Then login to dri.sf.net with ssh and your SF user id and untar the site
into a temporary directory. Make sure its 'chmod a+r'.

Hi Jens, Ian and all ...
I don't really care what anybody wants to do with the site. I don't have
time (or much interest to be honest) to do anything more with it, other
than to maintain it.
So, if Ian wants to overhaul the whole thing, then he should go nuts.

Hi,
I'm getting repeated emails from people asking for an extras package.
Anybody want to volunteer to make one? All it needs to contain is an
updated X server binary and a shell script that installs the binary and
does suid root on it.

You can now grab the snapshots directly by following the 'Download' link

We broke something in the install script. Don't update using the script
