Talk:How to compile an experimental X server

Other approach

Or, if you want to play with an unstable system, use a distribution, which can help you doing that, for example Gentoo or Sourcemage. You won't need a script that way:

root@gentoo ~ $ echo "x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86" > /etc/portage/package.keywords
root@gentoo ~ $ emerge -avuD xorg-x11

(scnr. I know that you'll have to unmask a few more packages in reality. I know that you can do something similar in other distributions. I just don't understand why you are not using your package manager [unless you've got an LFS...])
