x11@ is currently assigned or cc'd on 176 bugs. This number is down from 222 on April 1st and more than 412 in February 2015 (I reported this on #gentoo-desktop after closing out a bunch of bugs that day).
== Fix x11-base/xorg-server suid/systemd situation == https://bugs.gentoo.org/635102 Looks like these bugs are sorted out. There are a few issues in conjunction with Mesa 18.x, so I'm going to hold off on unmasking xorg-server-1.20 until those are sorted. I think fixes are at least in progress for all of those, so I expect we're in good shape and will have unmasked 1.20 by next month. == Convert media-libs/mesa ebuild to build with Meson == https://bugs.gentoo.org/652762 Lots of progress. floppym made the necessary changes to meson.eclass to let Mesa's build system use a different *-llvm-config per-ABI by always using a cross file. That lets multilib builds work. There are a couple of (hopefully minor) configuration options missing from Mesa's meson.build, so I'm targeting next month for the transition of mesa-9999.ebuild to Meson. I plan to ship Mesa 18.2 build with Meson. == Update packages to depend on x11-base/xorg-proto == https://bugs.gentoo.org/656250 Arfrever continued transitioning whole categories at a time! Big thanks to him! Apr 1 May 7 Jun 1 Packages depending on x11-proto/*: 530 -> 432 -> 35 [1] ebuilds depending on x11-proto/*: 1908 -> 1503 -> 59 [2] Just some games-*/* and kde-frameworks/* packages remain to be updated. == media-libs/vulkan-* split packages == Nick (sarnex) had lots of fun this month splitting packages out of media-libs/vulkan-loader: media-libs/vulkan-layersmedia-libs/vulkan-tools media-libs/vulkan-headers
Upstream continues to churn things and doesn't seem to have a good grasp
of how Linux distributions operate. Nick's done a good job keeping on
top of upstream changes.
== Tree cleaning ==
Removed:
x11-proto/printproto
x11-libs/libXp
x11-libs/xpyb
Given Last Rites:
x11-libs/libXfont
app-i18n/fbiterm (reverse dependency of libXfont)
== Add and require glvnd ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/606924
https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd
Package added under package.mask:
# New package. Needs to interact with media-libs/mesa and
# x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. Work in progress.
media-libs/libglvnd
nvidia-drivers-375 and newer support glvnd, so I'll have to figure out
how to make things work. I guess we'll have to keep eselect-opengl for
older nvidia-drivers, which means updating it to support glvnd (instead
of removing it)
== Drop app-eselect/eselect-mesa ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/576334
Removed from mesa-9999.ebuild and mesa-18.1.0-r1.ebuild. Once older
versions are gone from the tree we can give eselect-mesa last rites.
Without eselect-mesa, the Gallium i915 and swrast drivers are installed
if USE=gallium; otherwise the classic versions are installed. I suspect
this is good enough.
== Fix/Remove OpenCL ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/546320
https://bugs.gentoo.org/647330
No progress.
== Clean out x11 overlay ==
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/x11.git/
No progress.
