Yes, I know (as that is how we worked around the issue in D-I). > The upstream change that broke things implemented many optimizations and > accelerated things (iirc) OK. So the current fix is basically unrelated to the change that was applied upstream and is also not really a targeted fix or revert. It's more a fairly general workaround. Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. I have just verified that the new cairo works correctly without the workaround that was implemented in D-I so we could in theory now revert that (and it also means that this upload could have happened earlier and saved us the trouble of doing the workaround in D-I, but that's minor). Next question: do you have any info what the status of this issue is upstream? There seem to have been no further updates to the upstream BR. I understand that you tried to contact the person who committed the upstream change. Did you get any reaction from him? If not, would sending a reminder be useful? Cheers, FJP
