Jenny,

Actually, I believe that SOURCEDIR is ignored by the X builds, so it's
just left alone and not modified for the particular tree.

Dave/Grant, does this sound correct?

Yep, that's correct. Most X developers hate that and have workarounds to 
remove it from their environment during a workon. It's really only there for 
the OS builds.

I "fixed" the decx11.nightly tree to be correct since it was, as you pointed 
out, wrong. Then after consultation with Peter Derr, decided to go one step 
further and remove it. This had been partially inplemented in the X trees, but 
not correctly, so I'm planning on removing this from the other active X trees. 
It'll take a day or so to populate into nightly's, and will require a new 
sandbox, or a resb to correct, but it'll get around eventually.

If anybody wants to change an existing sandbox to remove SOURCEDIR from the 
environment, change the following line in your sandbox's rc_files/shared file:


From this;
replace setenv SOURCEDIR ${BACKED_SOURCEDIR}

To this;
replace setenv SOURCEDIR ""
