I was hoping that you'll fix the "breakage" mapi but going the whole nine yards is greatly appreciated. My ideas on the topic as a whole are: * Fix "make distcheck". * Use a versioning scheme consistent with the rest of X.org. There was some objections that it's too complex/might break someone's workflow, yet no-one has some forward with examples. Fwiw only OpenSUSE and Mageia occasionally use RC tarballs, so it seems that no-one ever will bother saying a word. * Don't ship anything but a tar.xz tarball. Linux, *BSD and WindowsXP+ have/ship programs that support the format for more than 5 years. * Use release.sh to tidy up the process. I'll take a look at the branch in a second.
