Is xgl considered dead?

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

I wanted to raise up this question because I recently got a request if we plan 
to add xgl to gentoo.

xgl-development seems to be pretty much dead. There haven't been much commits 
lately and as far as I can see, just about everything in the past months only 
were compile-fixes.
Pretty much everyone suggests to prefer aiglx. Nvidia has their own 
tfp-implementation.

xegl, which was once announced as the future of xgl, is even more dead and 
probably not running anywhere.

Now, from what I see, there are two reasons left why someone might want to 
have xgl:
a) if you rely on proprietary ati-driver
b) aiglx doesn't allow transformation of xv and gl-apps

For b), I'd be interested what would be needed to make that working on aiglx. 
For a) there's probably not much one can do beside improving free r300-code.

Anyway, to David Reveman, maybe you wanna give a statement what your plans for 
xgl are.
