This was supposed to be used to denote the abi of the drivers. Right now, we just do this in the control file with the xserver-xorg-video-* Provides and Depends. Ideally, I'd like to use the serverabiver file to automate this, but I haven't thought about it for a while. I think we can probably dump the file, but it's worth thinking about how to make this a reality so we don't have to go through and manually update all the control files every time we have a new server release. > > >Patch 114 explicitely says it's a "terrible hack", so that one probably > > >doesn't qualify :) > > > > heh, after googling a bit I found it: > > > > http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit/2006-August/008627.html > > > > > > (it's funny how many hits you get with "XXX terrible hack" :) > > > heh, ok, then maybe we can cherry-pick it :) It's fine if we add these patches, but it'd be nice to know what they do. I'm looking to start pushing our own patch stack upstream really soon, so I'm a little hesitant to add more work to the load with a set of patches that we haven't looked at yet. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
