Re: 7.1 protos up-to-date in experimental - ready for unstable?

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

If we're happy to live without xf86rushproto, then can we now bring the outstanding experimental proto packages across to unstable? 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.

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. I'm sick of my video card crashing all the time :) You know you can build the new i810 driver against the old xorg-server? Modularisation, man! signature.asc Description: Digital signature
