The package is one of the 'tops' when it comes to the number of patches... of which probably a bunch can be dropped now; blindly dropping them on the other hand is not a good move neither... which results in 'checking every single one' for it's use, understanding it, and possibly rebasing on top of the new xorg 1.12.
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 Second part is doing the required lib package updates, when xorg-server fails due to an outdated lib (which is mostly trivial).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@medozas.de).
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 Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)
