Quick follow up on this: unity/compiz 0.9.10 ppa is up: https://code.launchpad.net/~smspillaz/+archive/compiz-dev unity/compiz w/ experimental back buffer damage handling ppa is up: https://code.launchpad.net/~smspillaz/+archive/compiz-experimental
I have a launchpad branch to bump the development version to 0.9.10.0 . I don't know if I've done the inline-debian stuff right, someone check: https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/compiz.bump_VERSION_to_0.9.10.0/+merge/160786 (I'm looking into the CI failure now, looks like a flakey test from before). I'll run it again to check. I have a launchpad branch here which makes a Google Test binary to run autopilot tests which seem to be relevant to compiz: https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/compiz.fix_1170013/+merge/159422 They all pass on both the compiz/unity in the distro and compiz/unity in the experimental ppa. I haven't yet tried it on the 0.9.10 ppa but the experimental ppa is a superset and touches functionality which autopilot can't test anyways. I've added a note in that branch about how to avoid some common false positives.
