New X Stack in Natty

Target to get in by Friday Jan 28, 2011. This gives us a few days for tidying up any critical issues before alpha-2 is finalized.

  • mesa 7.10 upload
    • Get in sync with Debian's 7.10 packages (we should at least use same source tarball) [RAOF]
    • Post proposed final packages and ping bryce [RAOF]
    • Run unity testsuite on new mesa
  • libdrm
    • Final packaging into git and ready for upload [RAOF]
    • Final review and upload [bryce]
    • libdrm-nouveau1a transition - Note in the Alpha-2 release notes. Semi-messy but will prevent people getting segfaults / partial-upgrades.
  • Pre-xserver-1.10:
    • (DONE) x11proto-randr - required to build server. Use xorg-edgers snapshots to upload. Cleanup changelog too. [bryce]

    • wacom upstream release - Upload wacom package from http://cooperteam.net/Packages/

    • siliconmotion - Needs http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/siliconmotion-ABI.patch

    • synaptics - Needs (something?) patched
    • Announcement to ubuntu-x@ and ubuntu-devel@ of upcoming breakage
    • Do we (tjaalton?) have a script to automate the X component rebuilds?
  • xserver 1.10 upload
    • Final packaging into git and ready for upload [RAOF]
    • Final review and upload [bryce]
    • Submit rebuilds for all X components
    • Release Note for Alpha-2 about -nvidia and -fglrx breakage due to ABI change as a known-issue
  • -intel update: git snapshots are in xorg-edgers now for testing, but we want the official Q4 released version in Natty.
    • Q4 release needs packaging up [RAOF].
