status of the 7.4 transition, take 2
Status update.

This means two things: dependencies on non-xorg stuff that has to migrate first, and blocker bugs in our packages. On the first point, the deps I know of are linux-2.6 and console-setup. The former has been recently fixed to build on all architectures, so should hopefully be able to migrate soon enough. The latter needs some aging, but has no outstanding issues afaik. console-setup has migrated a while ago, linux-2.6 had a new upload today which will hopefully be able to make it to testing. On the second point I'm not quite sure: - xorg-server has one outstanding serious bug, #508476: when xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is installed and you have no xorg.conf, X FatalErrors for no good reason. Should this be a blocker? Anything else? This is fixed (well, worked around, but that's good enough). - xorg has #516028, #527860, #524657; I don't think any of those should be blockers, what do others think. Anything else? 516028 and 527860 are closed, 524657 downgraded and tagged moreinfo. - then there's the intel driver situation. 2.7.0 was pretty broken from what I understand, I have no idea where things stand in 2.7.1 or 2.7.99.x. There's one critical (!) bug filed against 2.7.99.1, which should probably be downgraded to grave or important. Then there's 3 grave bugs. #523953 was filed against 2.6.3, then 2.7.0, has no data about 2.7.1. #525231 was filed against 2.7.0, no info about 2.7.1. #526169 is a jidanni bug, but has at least one other affected user; seems a bit confused to me, might actually be a kernel bug, so would be nice to have updated info, with latest linux-2.6 and -intel. Any others that aren't filed as RC? 2.8.0 seems better. #525231 is still open/RC, but with no info about 2.8.0 IIRC. - any known major issues in other packages? There's the libXi bugs (515734, 515905, 515976, 515946), which afaict nobody has been able to investigate yet. Shouldn't be blockers though I think. Overall after linux-2.6 migrates I think we're good to go. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks for managing this Julien.

Should this be a blocker? Anything else? Yuck. One thing we might want to do is install an empty xorg.conf by default. Since the codepaths for no xorg.conf and empty xorg.conf are slightly different, this might help us. If we can get a bug reporter to confirm that this solves the issue then it'd be a simple fix. It's also in line with where things need to go, since eventually no/empty xorg.conf needs to be just a special case for the partial-config setup. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
