This just means announcements came too early (also I don't consider that blog post an announcement, an announcement would be something from Fedora, e.g. in release notes). I searched the wiki and found https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Vendor_Neutral_libGL
So my questions: * Why is that change still marked as incomplete and even more important: * Why is it not proposed for F26 (now the deadline is over, but IMHO it should get in)? > > And from a technical pov it is ready, despite all the noise > about this update for F25, 2 issues where found with it > in updates-testing and both of these issues have been fixed. Thank you very much for investigating and fixing! Although I'm still not a fan of pushing to F25, the fixes are *very* important for F26! > > The biggest issue with the update was that it broke > Sway (specifically libwlc) and I handled that badly after > working on this for a long time I was in a rush and I > decided to push this update to F25 updates-testing anyways > which I should NOT have done.

Again, thank you very much :) In general I'm still against pushing (although I gave +1 for the sway fix) because I think: * It violates our guidelines for updates as it breaks things which have to be fixed in the applications themselves (which proofs that it is an incompatible update) * I'm still sceptical that it will not break anything @users. So my suggestion: * Propose as F26 system wide change, it should be ignored that the deadline is already over as the change is implemented and mostly tested * Don't push @F25 Greetings, Christian _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
