Would it be really worth it? 1.7.7 is just couple of minor releases ahead of what we have now and the latest _release_ is 1.9.2. So, xorg-server-devel for 1.9.2 - that would make sense for my taste. xorg-server-devel for 1.7.7 - just an overcautiousness and, IMO, a waste of resources. > Assuming no other dependencies, or at least a clear list of what to rebuild in > the pkg-message, it would allow people to test the new xorg-server and easily > revert to the old one if needed.
