And I would thus write drivers in a way that demonstrates and includes that understanding. The same problem exists in hardware products needing any kind of longish lifetime. Deal with evolving components by having clean and simple interfaces, and by not relying on a particular interface very deep on either side of the edge. Simple I think. //Peter _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
