Quoting Felix Miata

Stefan wants to do it but has not had time for it yet.
New Xorg got into 12.1 rather late too. Did it or other things pile on Stefan's already full plate due to the not so recent any more rounds of paid staff reductions, maybe mfabian?
So, if somebody steps up and helps, I expect Stefan would be happy about it,
What would be involved to "step up" for someone who has never built or packaged before? Wouldn't Xorg be more involved than lower profile packages?
I think it's absolutely not a beginners package. In order to work on this you either need moderate knowledge on packaging or, more importantly, knowledge about x11 itself (starting with where to find the sources :) ) 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. If you like challenges, then it's surely a good and rewarding one! (Rewarding by means of getting our thanks, and having the good feeling of success) Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
