I am surprised libXt is in freedesktop.org CVS. I was told by two xlibs
developers that it wasn't done and that they needed someone to volunteer
to do it. So I stepped up and did it.

I still don't see a libXt module at [email protected]:/cvs/xlibs.
And it is not mentioned in the xlibs meta module. I wasn't able to view
list of modules with "cvs co -c".

Or maybe you meant libXt from the XFree86 CVS (maybe hosted at
freedesktop.org)?

I didn't use the CVS. (I had mentioned that in earlier emails.) I still
don't understand know how to keep the CVS history information or what CVS
files to keep or what CVS history to keep (although some have tried to
explain it). Maybe all that is needed is the revision numbers (CVS tags)?

Anyways, it should be trivial to take my ideas (and my auto files) to
that.

I have that issue fixed in my libXt. I "Added include/X11/Xalloca.h to
source. It is not installed." I mentioned this on the mailing list when I
was doing this at end of November.

Yes, please work on libXmu. Please don't work more on libXt until you look
at mine.

I rarely use IRC. But I'll try to remember.

Thanks for the reply.
