Erm, what is "vette" (http://dict.leo.org/ doesn't list it) ?

I have generated diffs between the old and the *possibly* compomised
Xorg repository (from Nov 15) - see
http://www.nrubsig.org/people/gisburn/work/xorg/freedesktop_20041115_breakin/
- xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_fulldiff.txt.gz is the full diff including
all added/removed files
- xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_no_files_in_attic.txt.gz is the same diff
but without added/removed files and obmits any diffs to files in Attic/

md5 checksums of these files are:
08af48a807385c1632ddab7bf06a4247 
xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_fulldiff.txt.gz
d3f0b6bd2e7e2600f7f40d1f114b89e4 
xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_no_files_in_attic.txt
0b7970e612c9d2d5758050fe1619522f 
xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_no_files_in_attic.txt.gz

IMHO we should focus on
xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_no_files_in_attic.txt.gz and verify that all
the changes listed there are safe - I think if that part has been
verified we can make the Nov 15 snapshot the current Xorg CVS repository
again (and then crawl throught the parts of
xorg_old_to_possibly_hacked_fulldiff.txt) ...

Bye,
