4.3.0 Cygwin 1.3.x build and packaging nearly done


I have completed the building and packaging of a 4.3.0 XFree86 release for Cygwin 1.3.x. However, I am not sure that I will be uploading this release, as I intend to make a new build for Cygwin 1.5.1 and hold onto it until Cygwin 1.5.1 is released.

In any case, I have at least gotten used to the packaging system again and I have worked out the little details like leaving the font package version numbers untouched so that new downloaders will get the new fonts but updaters won't be forced to get the new fonts (which are essentially the same as the old ones, I hope).


So, my question for the community is whether anyone wants me to post the 4.3.0 release as the new "stable" release and make another build for Cygwin 1.5.1 and post that as the "test" release. Or, would everyone rather that I wait and just make the 1.5.1 version the new "stable" release when 1.5.1 is done?


I kind of like the idea of making a 4.3.0 Cygwin 1.3.x release, since that will allow us to identify which new bugs (and there will always be new bugs) are caused by XFree86 4.3.0 and which are caused by Cygwin 1.5.1. Well, what do you all think?
