Source now available. The official release date is Tuesday 14th so I
assume the Release Notes will be available in a few hours.
It is now possible to use system versions of nspr and pixman with stylo
(57 needs a workaround, the fix is in 58 : thanks to github users rillian
and eclipseo, and anarchy from gentoo, for the workaround), so since
upstream wants to use it we'll recommend it.
The down side is that it requires clang the build becomes significantly
bigger(about 0.8GB) and slower. I'm still working through updating my
current systems, but at the moment the build SBU figures are somewhat more
variable than I had expected, probably 18 to 22 SBU for a "typical" 4 core
machine. But on one box which only has 4GB RAM less whatever its intel
video uses, the build took 33 SBU on an
otherwise idle system not running Xorg. I know that non-stylo builds on
this box swap when linking (in an Xorg desktop), I suspect the increased
use of swap is what took the time.
It's now gone midnight in my TZ. I'm now on the 14th November so I'll
raise this.
