** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg This bug is meant for monitoring the process of getting X.org 7.2 in Ubuntu for Feisty Fawn. Where do we stand: -Debian has published some packages to experimental -I have synced those and merged some which need merging (epoch, patches etc), and built them in correct order -it is also running on my desktop (XP3000+, Radeon 8500), and I've built gtk+2.0 against the new libs to make sure it doesn't have showstoppers (could build more). Tonight I'll install the packages on my laptop. -it is also a lot less fragile on my Radeon than the previous version. I can crash it using compiz, but now I'm testing a new version of xorg-server which has dropped a few of the 3rd party (Fedora) patches we used to have. So far it is looking better The current list of packages (updated when needed) and their versions is being held at http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/xorg72/xorg-list Where to go from here? I think that most of the libraries/apps are trivial and can be uploaded/synced, and if the intent is to get X.org 7.2 in feisty, we can start by uploading those in this order: * proto: x11proto-core SYNC x11proto-damage SYNC x11proto-input SYNC x11proto-randr SYNC xcb-proto SYNC * lib: libfontenc SYNC xtrans libice libxau SYNC libxdmcp libxfont libxcb SYNC libsm MERGE after those are done, libx11 needs to get in (according to my dependancy-calculations anyway :). It needs a better review of things that might break. After that is done: libxext libxevie libxfixes libxfontcache libxdamage libxcomposite libxrender Then comes libxft, which is xft in Debian (probably a good time to change the name as well). This should be a simple sync, and I discussed with Tollef about this issue: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2007/02/msg01195.html and we came to the conclusion that it should not pose a problem. Let's move on: libxi MERGE libxkbfile libxrandr libxres libxt libxpm libxmu MERGE libxv MERGE libxvmc MERGE libxaw MERGE libxcursor libxss After those, we need to sort out mesa & libdrm. Mesa-packaging has improved a lot, and it uses quilt now, so while I'm pretty confident that it would work right, maybe a reviewer might see some issues with it. libdrm can be synced. Then comes xorg-server. Currently it works for me, but the 3rd party - patches need to be checked and dropped if needed. Michael Dänzer replied + patches need to be checked and dropped if needed. Michel Dänzer replied to the list that I sent to debian-x: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2007/02/msg01303.html and I have a new version which has dropped 107, 108 and 110. So far it feels more robust with compiz than before, so maybe they should be dropped as advised. After xorg-server is sorted, we can push the apps: appres beforelight editres fonttosfnt luit sessreg twm xauth xdm SYNC xf86dga xfs xinit xmodmap and by now we can hopefully just sync the drivers from experimental :)
