Also I updated qbp with the new stack: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport/+packages Updated directly, with a proposal to be sru'd: - xorg, remove version dependencies on some packages - libdrm, updated to version in quantal - mesa, build patch to build against newer libdrm with old abi - xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, build patch against newer libdrm with old abi - x11proto-(dri2,gl,randr), required to build new X, and no negative side effect for old X I hope. - libxrandr 1.4, adds support for offload extensions, prerequisite for prime. I believe libdrm and x11proto-* will have to be updated for every release, libxrandr/xrandr will be an exception and only to add support for prime. Mesa and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau will require no further updates, this is just once so it can be built from source against the new libdrm. Renamed and updated for quantal: - mesa - xorg-server - xorg - all of xf86-input/video-* and xserver-xorg-input/video-* drivers, where sane. Outstanding issues: - Plymouth still requires libdrm_intel on arm, but it will no longer be built. SRU the removal of this dependency? - Binary drivers will need to drop dependency on specific video ABI. - Untested on arm, will need updating since xserver-xorg-video-omapfb is renamed to xserver-xorg-video-omap - Breaks/Replaces, I think it would be saner if we could replace those with a versioned Conflicts, but I'm not sure how realistic this is, if not possible, we should definitely add a conflicts with newer versions of unrenamed packages. libdrm-lts-q 2.4.34 conflicts with libdrm >= 2.4.34, to make it easier to update to next LTS. - Add a package to force reinstallation of old X, while removing all the backports? - Make update process remove xserver-xorg-video/input-all ? I'm close to getting to the point where removing .*lts-quantal.* will nuke new stack and reinstall the old one, definitely worth trying to see if I can make this happen. How to install: apt-get install xorg-lts-quantal linux-generic-lts-quantal As a nice side effect, with xorg stack separated like this, downgrading becomes relatively easy: Nuke all quantal updates and most of the stack first: apt-get remove .*lts-quantal.* xorg xserver-xorg.* ubuntu-desktop .. and reinstall old stack: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Ideally it would just be apt-get remove .*lts-quantal.*, but I'm already content nothing more broke. ~Maarten -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
