> Unfortunately, as you may recall from prior -geode update attempts, Ubuntu's SRU policy does not permit doing micro-version updates of packages, due to concern for regression risk. The SRU team wants each discrete change broken out separately, to be reviewed, tested, and tracked in Ubuntu.
That's not really done in practice, though, and the SRU policy doesn't strictly require it. It is not so important from where the patch comes (upstream release, patch, etc.), but whether all of the individual changes contained in a point release, and thus this point release as a whole, are appropriate for SRUing. We quite commonly do microversion updates of GNOME components, libraries, etc. The trouble with X drivers is always that they are very prone to regressions, and that we can't possibly do an exhaustive regression testing (as we can do with some isolated GUI component). With -geode this might be a lot easier since it only supports a very limited set of platforms (unlike e. g. the intel driver). So if we have someone (Martin-Eric?) who can test the new release in a lucid environment on the affected hardware, I'm okay with a microrelease update. I'm still interested in seeing a changelog from 2.11.8 to 2.11.9.
