20 Not really. They are not in 6.8.2-r1, and the way for anyone wanting them
21 into 6.8.2-r2 is the same as for 6.8.2-r1. Also, unless I am missing
22 something, for sparc, 6.8.2-r2 and 6.8.2-r1 are the same. At least,
23 when 6.8.2-r2 first came out, that was what I inferred from the ChangeLog
24 notes. That's why I never bothered with ~sparc-ing it until yesterday in
25 response to your status request.
26
27 The reason I mentioned them is that if you anticipate a long and stable
28 life for 6.8.2-r2, it makes things a little cleaner sparc-ishly.
29 Otherwise, there's not much point.
30
31 So, unless there is some compelling reason I am unaware of, I'm inclined
32 never to move 6.8.2-r2 ~sparc-->sparc. When asked, I suggest unmasking
33 the 6.8.99.xx series and test them instead, anyway. (I've kept them
34 ~sparc all along because they work fine except for some eccentricities in,
35 I believe, Mesa vtxvector, but I need feedback from other people to track
36 it down. I plan to get to it, but more pressing tasks keep pushing it
37 down on my priority list.)

39 Done witfinals yet? :)
