Firstly, I'd like to welcome Nick Sarnie <sarnex@g.o> to the X11 team. |
| 2 |
He's been very helpful in improving the state of media-libs/vulkan-loader for a |
| 3 |
while now, so it's nice to make it official! |

== Fix x11-base/xorg-server suid/systemd situation == |
| 7 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/635102 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Frustratingly, not sure if this is sorted out. In 1.19.99.904 [1] I modified |
| 10 |
things so that Xorg is installed setuid when USE=-systemd. Only got one test |
| 11 |
report (unsuccessful) but it could be a separate problem. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Please test 1.19.99.905 (RC5). The next version will be 1.20. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I would appreciate an ebuild patch from any elogind user for elogind support. |

== Update packages to depend on x11-base/xorg-proto == |
| 18 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/651286 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
All architectures have stabilized x11-base/xorg-proto! Non-empty x11-proto/* |
| 21 |
packages have been removed. I was finally able to close out 15+ bugs about |
| 22 |
missing (transitive) dependencies on x11-proto/*. That felt good. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
About 20% of the way there since April 1st: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Packages depending on x11-proto/* down from 530 -> 432 [2] |
| 27 |
ebuilds depending on x11-proto/* down from 1908 -> 1503 [3] |
| 28 |
|

Big thanks to Arfrever for handling whole categories at a time! |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If there's a way to have repoman alert developers to deprecated |
| 32 |
dependencies in the same way we handle deprecated eclasses, I'd like to |
| 33 |
know about it. |
| 34 |
|

== media-libs/vulkan-loader updates and features == |
| 36 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/619124 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Sarnex worked hard to get vulkan-loader updated. He added USE=layers and |
| 39 |
USE=demos. The "layers" are an important feature of Vulkan: validation layers |
| 40 |
that can be enabled to help you fix your application. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
== Xorg stabilization for May 2018 == |
| 43 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/649316 |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Stabilization of 27 packages appears to be going rather smoothly. The new |
| 46 |
xorg-server version being stabilized contains a fix Sarnex found that will be |
| 47 |
necessary for Mesa 18.0. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
== Remove x11-proto/printproto and x11-libs/libXp == |
| 50 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/649076 |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
All blockers handled. Packages given last rites. Will be removed May 21st or |
| 53 |
soon thereafter. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
== Remove x11-libs/xpyb == |
| 56 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/651300 |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Given last rites. Will be removed May 22nd or soon thereafter |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
== Remove media-libs/libtxc_dxtn == |
| 61 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/654464 |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I merged the S3TC texture compression code in libtxc_dxtn into Mesa for 17.3 |
| 64 |
(the patent expired! yay!). A couple of packages actually depend directly on |
| 65 |
libtxc_dxtn. Once those are fixed, we'll be able to tree clean it. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
== Remove x11-libs/libXfont == |
| 68 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/655102 |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
libXfont has been replaced by libXfont2. With a few packages fixed, we'll be |
| 71 |
able to tree clean the old slot. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
== Convert media-libs/mesa ebuild to build with Meson == |
| 74 |
https://bugs.gentoo.org/652762 |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Ebuild posted. Blocked on problems surrounding LLVM (this is the story of |
| 77 |
maintaining media-libs/mesa). |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
The problem is that Meson has no way of specifying a different llvm-config |
| 80 |
binary without a cross file, which our meson.eclass does not generate for |
| 81 |
32-bit x86 builds on amd64. We've filed a Meson issue here [4] but haven't seen |
| 82 |
any progress towards a solution. |

https://bugs.gentoo.org/647330 |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
No progress, but an upstream Mesa developer interested in OpenCL and Gentoo |
| 104 |
user is interested in contributing in order to get rid of eselect-opencl and to |
| 105 |
use the ICD interface instead. |
