As the cairo maintainer... the state of 1.1.x in git is pretty good, but 1.2.0 is a major release which should be the one in etch. It'll be needed for other major packages such as firefox2 (later) and I guess other rdepends such as gtk, mono and gcj/classpath will update to use the new APIs there sometime. So for now, I'd package an experimental 1.1.x and later an 1.2.0 in unstable. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
