Hey,
A while ago, we updated cairo to 1.9.2 since it looked like the 1.10 stable release would be there in time for the 11.2 schedule. It turns out we were wrong, so we'd like to go back to the 1.8 branch.
Here are some quick pros/cons.
Pros: + 1.8.x is a stable branch (1.9.x is unstable) + it will be maintained upstream (1.9.x won't get maintenance updates, so harder to cherry-pick the relevant fixes) + it's what other distros used, so well tested
Cons: + it's really late + 1.9.x seemed to work relatively okay for us so far
What do people think?
It's _very_ late. These are the things I wouldn't want to do after all milestones ;(
Yeah, I agree, and I'm not happy about this either. It's a "pick your poison" choice, but I'm afraid we'll get some weird bugs if we stay with the current version. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=593133 for example. I see a few options: + go back to 1.8.x + stay with 1.9.2 and live happy with it (if possible ;-)) + stay with 1.9.2 and make it possible to update the cairo version later as a maintenance update (not recommended: there might be many changes in the next version) + stay with 1.9.2 and cherry-pick the fixes later as maintenance updates (will require a lot of work) My personal choice is going back to 1.8.x, but if people prefer another solution, then so be it.
