xserver-xorg-video-geode accepted into -proposed, please test.
There are two issues that I've noted in the latest upload:
- xserver-xorg-video-amd is made to conflict/replace older versions of
xserver-xorg-video-geode. I don't see any justification for this; there are no
file conflicts between the two packages (since the -amd package is now
essentially empty!); if the intent was to ensure that the -geode package is
upgraded, it would have been more appropriate to use a versioned depends. In
practice, I don't believe this is enough of an issue to block pushing to
-proposed (or to -updates).
- Bryce has re-raised the question of whether dropping the amd_drv.so symlink
is appropriate/necessary. It *will* be a regression for anyone who was using a
static xorg.conf successfully with Driver "amd" in 8.04, as this config will
suddenly stop working. Now, it may be the case that the set of users who are
able to use Driver "amd" successfully in 8.04 is zero, in which case this
change makes sense and is not a regression; but so far, the only justification
given is that the symlink somehow causes problems for LTSP users, who are a
subset of Ubuntu users and not the only use case that needs to be taken into
account in an SRU.
Resolution of this latter issue is a condition of considering this SRU
verified, and it should not be copied to -updates until we have a
definitive answer here.
