[gentoo-dev] xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2 status on sparc

Sorry for changing the thread topic; I don't have the original on this 
system.  This time I am addressing 6.8.2-r2 as you asked, not .99.x as I 
wanted you to have asked. :)

You asked for patches.  Both of these are incorporated in the 6.8.99 
series, and have been around long enough that they should go into 6.8.2-r2 
if it is going mainstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1891
(They are also part of the attachment 53024 at
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79467)

To make this relevant, I have keyworded 6.8.2-r2 ~sparc, although for 
sparc -r2 and -r1 are pretty much the same.

Sorry for the initial mix-up; I was rushed when I wrote it.

Regards,
Ferris

I'd prefer to avoid adding patches that are feature enhancements instead
of small fixes, if possible. Is it a problem if we pass on those?

Thanks,
Donnie

Not really.  They are not in 6.8.2-r1, and the way for anyone wanting them 
into 6.8.2-r2 is the same as for 6.8.2-r1.  Also, unless I am missing 
something,  for sparc, 6.8.2-r2 and 6.8.2-r1 are the same.  At least,
when 6.8.2-r2 first came out, that was what I inferred from the ChangeLog 
notes.  That's why I never bothered with ~sparc-ing it until yesterday in 
response to your status request.

The reason I mentioned them is that if you anticipate a long and stable 
life for 6.8.2-r2, it makes things a little cleaner sparc-ishly. 
Otherwise, there's not much point.

So, unless there is some compelling reason I am unaware of, I'm inclined 
never to move 6.8.2-r2 ~sparc-->sparc.  When asked, I suggest unmasking 
the 6.8.99.xx series and test them instead, anyway.  (I've kept them 
~sparc all along because they work fine except for some eccentricities in,
I believe, Mesa vtxvector, but I need feedback from other people to track 
it down.  I plan to get to it, but more pressing tasks keep pushing it 
down on my priority list.)

Done witfinals yet? :)
Regards,
Ferris

Here's a reasonably complete list:

* Crash bug in Xft (Bugs: Gentoo #85153, fd.o #1958, fd.o #1951)
* Fix major slowdowns because of bogus /usr/share/fonts/fonts circular
symlink, from weird interactions in the migration to /usr functions.
This still needs a little more work, however.
* I'm not sure whether sparc has any issues with lib64 now or in the
future, but that's cleaner on -r2
* GCC-4 compile fixes
* Cleaner use of opengl-update, avoiding a number of problems with stale
symlinks etc
* Less problems with USE=doc build
* The constant errors for the `find` syntax are fixed, in the ebuild and
the xfs init script
* xdm init script cleanly shuts down, instead of erroring out
* fc-cache isn't forced, which allows cleaner unmerges and stops
overwriting other font packages' files
* Hardened builds more consistently because of use of has_hardened
instead of USE flag

Not gonna happen, ever. I'm not interested in dealing with all the crap
that unmasked weekly un-QA'd, untested snapshots will bring.

Yep.

Thanks,
