I can only second this. Updating xorg-x11-server packages is mainly about
adjusting patches (still a bunch are not upstreamed yet; some like the VNC
patches can never be upstreamed!). Second part is doing the required lib
package updates, when xorg-server fails due to an outdated lib (which is
mostly trivial).

I've been updating nearly all lib packages living in X11:XOrg and sr'ed
them.

Thanks a lot! Just accepted them. :-)

I'm going to finish with libX11 today (and libXi, which I have
ready but depends on the new libX11). The fact that they're all split in
their own packages made this much easier than before, I think.

Sure. But credits go to Jan (jengelh@xxxxxxxxxx).

Note that I added upstream metadata for them, so new upstream versions
are now indicated in OBS as well as in "osc collab todo --project
X11:XOrg".

Hmm. Looks like I need to search for an osc version, which already knows about
this "collab" option, to figure out, what this means exactly. Still using
0.134.1 here.

Before touching the server, I'd like to also update the apps. I think
splitting the xorg-x11 package in several source packages to have one
source package per app would help. Stefan, is this something you'd be
willing to accept? (I would add appropriate Requires to xorg-x11 to keep
compatibility)

Yes, definitely!

Should we also split xorg-x11-util-devel and xorg-x11-proto-devel?

xorg-x11-util-devel: yes
xorg-x11-proto-devel: I remember discussions to merge these together
again *upstream*, but I didn't follow them lately.

The main benefit in splitting those in source package per tarball is
that it's makes it much easier to track the upstream version.

I see.

Also, I'm considering renaming xorg-x11-xtrans-devel to xtrans and
xorg-x11-fonts-devel to font-util to match upstream names. Would that
work for you, Stefan?

Yes, that's fine.

Thanks,
Stefan
