Given that making a libdrm release is pretty much for free I'm not sure about the concern. We've had plenty of back-to-back libdrm releases. Since libdrm is supposed to be always in release state (it's mostly just headers and simple wrappers) I don't see a downside aside from "looks mildly silly" :-) If we'd have a libdrm release maintainer that'd be different, but no one volunteered (and for years) so that's unlikely to change. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
