Sorry to hear that, as the i810 snapshot doesn't work at all on my
system (Xorg crashes on startup).

Hi,

As you may have noticed, DRI binary snapshots have not been updated for
a while. The reason was that I've been too busy to keep up with
technical changes that would be needed to make the snapshots actually
work. I have now invested a little time looking into the problems of
including an Xserver binary into the snapshots and I'm getting
increasingly frustrated. Partially installing current modular Xorg
binaries on a monolithic system requires too many hacks and workarounds.

I'm also having doubts that in the age of modular Xorg, binary snapshots
are all that useful any more. Once a system is upgraded to modular, it
should be possible to upgrade only a few components from source. No more
need to download and build an entire monolithic X tree. There is also a
sane build system in place now (though some argue otherwise ;-) that
most enthusiasts are familiar with. So instead of wasting my time on
tracking Xorg CVS (and other SCMs) and hacking up a partial binary
distribution with increasing effort over time I'd rather work on the
documentation, explaining how to build and test the latest driver
changes in a modular Xorg environment. Maybe I'll even have some fun
with Xgl and Compiz. :)

That means, I am now officially suspending DRI binary snapshot builds.
If anyone feels like resurrecting them, feel free to do so. All the
scripts are in CVS.

Best regards,
  Felix
