FWIW, xorg is already headed in that direction. Their next release is |
| 9 |
intended to be dual-track, 6.9.0 in monolithic form as now, 7.0.0 will be |
| 10 |
the same thing only modularized. There was a bit of a discussion on that |
| 11 |
topic here a few weeks ago (in which I asked and Donnie covered a number |
| 12 |
of questions on the Gentoo approach to it), after Donnie pointed to the |
| 13 |
working roadmap document for the split. The 6.8.99 snapshot ebuilds |
| 14 |
(hard masked for testing) are the CVS development snapshots of this in |
| 15 |
portage, still unsplit, as it hasn't yet been split upstream, AFAIK. |
