11 It's not that hard, I'm running a stable system, with a few unmasked packages.
12 After upgrading to modular xorg (following the migration HOWTO) I had to
13 keyword about 10 packages, because their dependencies where still based on
14 xorg 6.8 and wanted to downgrade xorg.
15 2 tips:
16 * I would advise to run a revdep-rebuild after migration.
17 * A friend of mine was only able to compile xorg-server when dlloader useflag
18 was set.
