Feature changed by: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) Feature #306903, revision 9 Title: Ship Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7 openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Xorg 7.5 / x-server 1.7 (due: mid august) By the time 11.2 arrives in mid november the x-server 1.6 will already be over six months old, and X.org 7.4 itself will be over a year old. The inclusion of X.org 7.5 and kernel 2.6.31 will keep 11.2 fresh and relevant throughout its nine month life, and prevent the perception of staleness among suse enthusiasts in 2010. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: The inclusion for X.org 7.5 will keep 11.2 fresh and relevant throughout its life time and prevent the perception of staleness among SUSE enthusiasts in 2010. Discussion: #1: jimbo bigcreed (dimble_thricefoon) (2009-07-16 17:19:51) I would very much like to see opensuse 11.2 ship with X.org 7.5/xserver 1.7. with opensuse's longer release cycle it seems daft to lumber 11.2 with a year 2008 X.org release in a distribution whose life-cycle mainly covers the year 2010. especially for the sake of a few weeks. + #2: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) (2009-07-24 19:58:23) (reply to #1) + In case you haven't heard they have again delayed the release and are + now hoping to get it out in Sept. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306903
