Hi Shawn, > would like to take maintainership of compiz seeing > the big progress we've made wrt AIGLX and Mesa.
I still haven't looked at these packages. I assume they're based off of Thierry's packages, but just in case not: 1) Are the mesa packages based on the Debian mesa packages? How are they altered from the Debian ones currently in the archive? 2) I saw the massive list of patches to get AIGLX running with the 7.1 server. How many of those touch codepaths that are run even when AIGLX is disabled? I'm going to disable AIGLX by default, per Michel's recommendation, and I want to make sure we're not shipping something that's not ready for a Debian release. 3) Have you gotten feedback from independant users on these packages yet? I haven't seen any. > I am working with the debian mentors to get the > requirements delt with.

How does Thierry feel about this? I offered him (her? I just realized I don't even know, not that it matters) maintainership of compiz inside of the XSF already, the reason being that he was the one who hunkered down and got over the real hurdle of getting them working to begin with. You'll have to see how he feels about working with you on it officially. It's fine by me if Thierry agrees though, but you'll have to start doing your work in our repository rather than totally outside where the rest of us can't see what you're doing. Currently I'm rather uncomfortable that the whole thing is going on outside of where I can see it, and I'm not going to let anyone take the compiz ITP on until I'm reasonably comfortable with what they're doing. Also, who are "the debian mentors"? What requirements are you dealing with exactly? I'm going to avoid asking specific questions about the package until I can take a look, but I want to enforce a certain amount of uniformity among the XSF packaging, so if they're telling you to use cdbs or some such garbage I'm afraid we have some work to do. Anyway, I'll try to take a look at the packages in the next week or so when I can get my Debian machine on the internet again. I'm excited that you're working so hard on them and that you sound like you're getting stuff done. I want to be confident that if you're going to do this, that you'll be doing it right, and more importantly that shipping compiz with Etch is something that we really want to be doing. - David Nusinow __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
