x11@ is currently assigned or cc'd on 176 bugs. This number is down from
222 on April 1st and more than 412 in February 2015 (I reported this on
#gentoo-desktop after closing out a bunch of bugs that day).


== Fix x11-base/xorg-server suid/systemd situation ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/635102

Looks like these bugs are sorted out. There are a few issues in
conjunction with Mesa 18.x, so I'm going to hold off on unmasking
xorg-server-1.20 until those are sorted. I think fixes are at least in
progress for all of those, so I expect we're in good shape and will have
unmasked 1.20 by next month.

== Convert media-libs/mesa ebuild to build with Meson ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/652762

Lots of progress. floppym made the necessary changes to meson.eclass to
let Mesa's build system use a different *-llvm-config per-ABI by always
using a cross file. That lets multilib builds work.

There are a couple of (hopefully minor) configuration options missing
from Mesa's meson.build, so I'm targeting next month for the transition
of mesa-9999.ebuild to Meson. I plan to ship Mesa 18.2 build with Meson.

== Update packages to depend on x11-base/xorg-proto ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/656250

Arfrever continued transitioning whole categories at a time! Big thanks
to him!

                                   Apr 1    May 7  Jun 1
Packages depending on x11-proto/*:  530 ->   432 ->  35 [1]
ebuilds  depending on x11-proto/*: 1908 ->  1503 ->  59 [2]

Just some games-*/* and kde-frameworks/* packages remain to be updated.

== media-libs/vulkan-* split packages ==
Nick (sarnex) had lots of fun this month splitting packages out of
media-libs/vulkan-loader:

        media-libs/vulkan-layers
media-libs/vulkan-tools media-libs/vulkan-headers

Upstream continues to churn things and doesn't seem to have a good grasp
of how Linux distributions operate.  Nick's done a good job keeping on
top of upstream changes.

== Tree cleaning ==
Removed:
        x11-proto/printproto
        x11-libs/libXp
        x11-libs/xpyb
Given Last Rites:
        x11-libs/libXfont
        app-i18n/fbiterm (reverse dependency of libXfont)

== Add and require glvnd ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/606924
https://github.com/NVIDIA/libglvnd

Package added under package.mask:

        # New package. Needs to interact with media-libs/mesa and
        # x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. Work in progress.
        media-libs/libglvnd

nvidia-drivers-375 and newer support glvnd, so I'll have to figure out
how to make things work. I guess we'll have to keep eselect-opengl for
older nvidia-drivers, which means updating it to support glvnd (instead
of removing it)

== Drop app-eselect/eselect-mesa ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/576334

Removed from mesa-9999.ebuild and mesa-18.1.0-r1.ebuild. Once older
versions are gone from the tree we can give eselect-mesa last rites.

Without eselect-mesa, the Gallium i915 and swrast drivers are installed
if USE=gallium; otherwise the classic versions are installed. I suspect
this is good enough.

== Fix/Remove OpenCL ==
https://bugs.gentoo.org/546320
https://bugs.gentoo.org/647330

No progress.

== Clean out x11 overlay ==
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/x11.git/

No progress.
