Some cornerstone capabilities: + +- Geared towards Ubuntu, since that's what I use +- Makefile to simply full build updates (pulling a lot of repositories and + building / autoconf'ing) +- Scripts to keep your entire custom X.Org in a prefix inside your home + directory +- Normal distribution startup will use distribution X.Org +- Helper scripts are available to start custom-X.Org desktop sessions (you + should install 85rescue-library-path) +- Supports programming on one machine, and actually running X on a different + machine (though in my setup, all machines are fairly similar in terms of + software that runs on them) +- Best used with ccache & distcc (Hint: You may want to install your + distribution's packages and start distccd as a service) + +This is not intended to be a released software package, since a lot of +things are *really* specific to my style of working, and to the fact that I'm +mostly hacking on Radeon 3D. However, I put it available for everybody so that +you may take your pick and put together whatever scripts will help your +particular problem. + +Note: Kudos go to many other scripts that I've stolen from (particularly the +git_xorg.sh, and probably others about which I've forgotten since then), +and you are explicitly encouraged to steal from my scripts. Consider +anything without an explicit statement saying otherwise to be in the public +domain. -- cgit v1.2.3
