Between cleaning the cruft out of my own packages recently and answering some questions from other distro/package maintainers, I've taken some time to write up better info on the current state of X.Org packages and what things distros should be looking at dropping.
First, two sets of updates to the X.Org MAINTAINERS file: - MAINTAINERS: update format https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/-/merge_requests/9 This just updates the format of the file, combining the P: & M: lines into single M: line for maintainer to match the Linux kernel MAINTAINERS file, and then adding some entries the kernel had that we didn't have yet: C:, T:, F:, & X: - MAINTAINERS: update data https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/doc/xorg-docs/-/merge_requests/10 This depends on/includes the previous request, and then makes a bunch of updates to the data itself to better reflect the world of 2023. (See the merge request description for a list of the changes made.) Once those two are reviewed/accepted and pushed to the repo, then I plan to send out a mail to the distributi...@kernel.org list - the current draft is https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/-/snippets/7615 . If you have any corrections, suggestions, or further updates, please let me know by the end of April. (Of course, after that, you can always make updates on your own via a simple xorg-docs merge request, they just won't be in the version that gets seen when the email goes out to the distro maintainers.) If there's anywhere else I should send such an email to besides that list, please let me know that as well. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris
