lib status [was: 7.1 protos up-to-date in experimental - ready for unstable?]
If libraries need to be strictly synced with their protos, then, going down the list of protos, we're still waiting in experimental (if not unstable) for libx11 1.0.1 (which I assume matches x11proto-core) libxcomposite 0.3 libxdamage 1.0.3 libxevie1.0.1 libXfontcache 1.0.2 (not in Debian at all yet, maybe not so crucial?) libxkbfile 1.0.3, libxkbui 1.0.2 libXrandr 1.1.1 libXScrnSaver 1.1.0 (not in Debian at all yet!) libxxf86dga 1.0.1 Some of these are now done. Here is a list of all outstanding lib upgrades (not just the ones following a proto) not yet in the archives, comparing against latest upstream: libX11-1.0.3 (in svn, needs uploading) libXau-1.0.2 libXaw-1.0.2 libXcomposite-0.3 libXcursor-1.1.7 libXi-1.0.1 libXrandr-1.1.1 (in svn, needs uploading) libXxf86dga-1.0.1 (in svn, needs uploading) [what the hell is libxss ?? ] The following libs exists upstream but do not exist anywhere in Debian: libXScrnSaver-1.1.0 libXfontcache-1.0.2 Also liblbxutil-1.0.1 (I believe lbx is deprecated) liboldX-1.0.1 (by definition we don't want it?) (we don't need libAppleWM or libWindowsWM) Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not without dealing with at least one issue, I think: Anyone remember what happened when David accidentally uploaded packages built against x11proto-fixes-dev 4.0, then people tried running the binaries against libxfixes3 1:3.0.x? I think the x11proto-fixes-dev Conflicts: libxfixes-dev probably needs bumping to ( 1:4.0) or similar, etc. p.s. in case you're wondering why I'm in such a rush to get 7.1 from experimental to unstable, some serious improvements have been made in drivers (especially i810) which I'd like to see as soon as possible. While it should be possible to use the current xf86-video-intel with xorg-server 1.0, as Daniel pointed out, there's no question that moving to 7.1 would rid us of a lot of upstream issues. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer

This is the necessary precursor required before we can bring experimental 7.1 libs to unstable, which in turn are needed before we can update xserver. I'd much rather have the libs and preferrably the server and drivers ready in experimental first. Especially since those will be the first serious test of the protocol headers. Not that I'm worried about the headers, but I don't see a big gain in moving the protocol headers in ahead of the libs right now. The key is to get the functional parts (libs, server, drivers) working anyway, so pushing ahead with that is more important. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

All existing x11proto packages are up to date for X11R7.1, either in unstable or in experimental. x11proto-core is ahead of schedule, at latest v7.0.7 rather than 7.1's v7.0.5. Debian does not contain a x11proto package for xf86rushproto, applewmproto, or windowswmproto, the latter for obvious reasons. I gather we don't need xf86rushproto?

I'm sick of my video card crashing all the time :) libfont1.2 may also be useful since it supports freetype2.2. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

AppleWM is only required on Darwin, WindowsWM on Windows, and the whole XF86Rush extension has been deprecated because it was complete crack. libxxf86rush should similarly disappear, if someone took the initiative to package it (it was never in Ubuntu). p.s. in case you're wondering why I'm in such a rush to get 7.1 from experimental to unstable, some serious improvements have been made in drivers (especially i810) which I'd like to see as soon as possible.
