Dispite the Friday-humor, your point is well taken. Many of us have our own,
at times silly, Year-2000 policies. Not that y2k is not important, just the
policies that get written by the confused. Oh, well..
The upcoming FVWM-2 release should have a y2k seal. It should be tested
against the various y2k relevant dates on a computer that is y2k compliant.
Doing anything for FVWM V1.24r, however seems a little late in the game (in
my opinion). I just looked at my own source trees, and the oldest version I
have around is in fact, "FVWM V1.24r" with a date of "Jun 14 1995". It is
what is runnning on our non-y2k machines, that we will be replacing. However
the few places in the code where time is used are in "ctime" which is y2k
compliant. Your group should be able to verify it themselves though.
Fvwm-workers, Can we have a README.Y2K or similar for the official release?
