But is it even possible for an "outsider" so step up and do a release? Or does it require that you're part of the X team? 'Cause there's a big difference between opening a merge request with some fixes/improvements and getting team approval to release something...
Probably way easier to just accept reality which is that there aren't any developers on the planet that are interested in doing so and there isn't any need for it to begin with.Last edited by arokh; 19 December 2020, 04:41 PM.

Typo:
X.Org Server's current "master branch"
Should be "main branch"

I'm gonna call it master branch harder just because of your politically correct nonsense. ... Who wants to take bets on how many years before Master Lock's management gets stupid and changes their name.
Words said innocently hurt no one... authoritarian censorship of words does. This isn't even thought crime, its criminalization of innocent usage of words, based on theoretical offenses that don't even actually exist. Most people hash tagging offenses are "privileged" white girls.

additionally video output is mangled if anything other than X11 is selected.
So then I tried;
HTML Code:snap install --channel=edge vlc && snap run vlc VLC media player 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek (revision 4.0.0-dev-14289-g6ae50cc4c9) [000055e183512050] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. [000055e1835e4e30] skins2 interface error: cannot instantiate dialogs provider Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
