Bug#685218: unblock: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/1:1.0.1-3
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, it fixes bug #675161 which
has made the version in testing unusable for the past three months. The
version in unstable had been blocked from migrating by bug #679566 which
only got solved in testing today.
unblock xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/1:1.0.1-3
That was the good part, now to the bad and the ugly: upstream rewrote
the nouveau parts of libdrm and large parts of the driver between the
versions in testing and unstable, resulting in a *huge* diff:

The patch 02-drm-nouveau-newabi.patch pulls in the new libdrm_nouveau
into the driver source, since upgrading the system libdrm is not
possible due to mesa and plymouth still needing the old API. Definitely
nothing to be proud of, but it seems to work.
I very much wish this unblock request were not necessary; if somebody
comes up with a miraculous fix for #666468, it can be ignored, but I do
not expect this to happen anytime soon.
Cheers,
Sven
