i specifically held back the xfree86 spell as it is a developement snapshot
release and is not even certain to compile. If you really do wish to have
cutting edge stuff that
a)may not compile
b) is extremely buggy
c) renders your computer unbootable (twice this week)
then there are 4 choices.
1) Officially join the team (yes i know some of you are already very active)
AND get a perforce account.
2) wait until cvs is finished being set up then get the volatile devel
grimoire via anon cvs checkout (not recommended for any-one wanting stability
and you are not guaranteed any help if anything goes wrong)
3) put the spell on hold ?
4) use the tarball i have attached.

Please do remember that we need to have a "devel" seperate so we can submit
volatile upgrades and volatile new features, knowing that users production
systems are not being affected and allowing other developers to help with
alpha bug fixing. Once we know the stuff won't stop you booting (or loading
modules as happened once this week) it will move into the test grimoire.
Snapshots like xfree86 4.3.99.X will (hopefully) never be available through
test grimoire.
Here endeth the sermon.
enjoy this snapshot of xfree86 ! ( i can't build it here so i hope you have
better luck than me)
