Hi Guix, In light of (more) CVEs in xwayland, see <https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2023-December/003435.html>, with already pending security updates, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67136>, I would like to prioritize getting that fixed in master. The tricky thing is that, according to 67136, the xwayland update needs newer xorgproto, which corresponds to many rebuilds. (The related CVEs in xorg-server have been pushed already as effectively minor version bumps.)
Where is the most efficient branch for this, that could take these rebuilds to be merged to master soon (whatever soon is for a scope of something like 22k affected packages)? I was thinking to put that update and mesa, since it had a new stable release after the current one never got updates, on mesa-updates and merge once builds are done assuming no issues. Again, the potential sore spot is xorgproto I would say. I could see about any other pending/urgent related changes, but I'm not aware of any off the top of my head and want to let this move quickly. I also don't want to jump the queue sending other branches to rebuild everything again. I'll test things locally in the meantime, but please chime in. If I don't hear anything too urgent I'll update the mesa-updates branch to start builds at least. I've also cc'ed some names I think will be knowledgeable about some current branches. And thanks to Kaelyn (also cc'ed) for the pending xwayland patches! Thanks! John
