Bug#748753: Upload xxv-intel 2.99.x to sid?

2015-04-28 Thread Søren Holm
Probably, but why keep it in experimental just because the number scheme is a 
little bit off.

No - please do so. I've been using it from experimental since christmas with no 
issues.

 Hi,
 
 Now that jessie is out and the freeze is over, would anyone object if
 I were to upload xserver-xorg-video-intel from experimental to sid
 now? 3.0 is supposed to be an imminent release [1] anyways.

isn't this imminent status given since a year?

see previous discussions on this mailinglist.

once there is a proper release I'm all for it. Ask intel why they don't!?

Given that 2.21.x is completely unmaintained, and that the only relevant changes
from 2.21.15 to 2.99.901 [1] were SNA enabled by default (which upstream
considers ready and which can be reverted anyway) and XMir integration (which we
don't care about) I see no reason to withhold this upload any longer. It's not
like we're going to release Stretch with 2.21.x again, so the sooner we upload
it, the more testing it will get. FWIW I used it for several months without 
issues.

This sounds similar to Grub2 being at 2.02~beta2, or when it was at 1.99 for so
long.

Cheers,
Emilio

Fully agreed here. I've also given out my rationale for updating to
2.99.x in an earlier mail to #748753 [1].

Upstream clearly doesn't particularly care about sane versioning; I
don't think it's helpful to get hung up on the versioning scheme and
the lack of a formal release here.

Regards,
Vincent
