Mass bugfiling seems appropriate and reasonable, but if you've already found 11 build failures in [0-9a-d], I think a severity: serious bug should be filed against the new xorg in unstable to hold it out of lenny until the full impact is known and the release team can make an informed decision about whether this is acceptable for the release. I found those issues as well (there are 84 packages failing to build because of that). I discussed this briefly on #debian-x, but it's not clear yet if the X maintainers want to revert this change. I would personally prefer if this change was reverted and done after lenny. We don't really need 84 new RC bugs... -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

We don't really need 84 new RC bugs... I think I told you I'd revert it. But it would be nice if the mass bug filing was done anyway, at important severity, so people have a chance to fix that before it becomes RC when we drop the dependency again after lenny. Anyway, a serious bug against xutils 1:7.3+11 is in order for now. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'll file the bug against xutils and then start filing important severity bugs against the affected packages. -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
