--- Comment #5 from Ronald <[email protected]> ---
@Ilia Mirkin: Ah, yes the next repo seems promising. Thank you.

About the 'old' master repo: Say, for example, stable was v3.8 and then this
machine would happily use it. Every week I would pull from this master branch
the patches for v3.9 based on the v3.8 tree.

These patches are localized in the nouveau driver, so I have quick rebuilds and
thus quick bisects. Problems are narrowed down easily and most importantly:
fast.

Using Linux his tree sometimes means doing a lot more bisects since a lot of
changes come in at once after two months. Furthermore, it's not just the
nouveau driver that changes but the entire tree. So bisecting would imply also
doing full rebuilds.

However, drm-nouveau-next seems to fill the gap which master left behind.

@Emil Velikov: Does not seem like it:

[gebruiker@delta linux]$ pacman -Qi libdrm
Naam : libdrm
Versie : 2.4.52-1
Beschrijving : Userspace interface to kernel DRM services
Architectuur : i686

ArchLinux is quick with it's updates. Which is really nice.

Ow well, on to the bisect then =)
