Sorry about the short delay.. here we go:
http://chris-lamb.co.uk/debian/libdrm-snapshot_2.3.1~git%2b20080530%2b6e8a2cf-1.dsc
http://chris-lamb.co.uk/debian/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_0.0.10~git%2b20080526%2be034616-1.dsc
These are almost certainly not 100% ready-for-upload. I can think of three
issues/topics currently:
* Relationship with libdrm package -- I've gone with creating seperately
named binary packages in the style of libdrm-snapshot{2,-dev}, etc., for
reasons discussed on the debian-x list.
However, I seem to have been misinformed about how the
Replaces/Conflicts/Provides trick works (or am doing something silly) as
my attempts to construct a package that can replace the libdrm2 package
whilst still providing it were unsuccessful - attempting to install the
resulting package kept trying to remove X.Org. (Currently, each package
currently just "Replaces:" its non-snapshot counterpart.)
* The Build-Depends for xserver-xorg-video-nouveau currently contains:
Build-Depends: [...], libdrm-snapshot-dev, [...]
Should this (and/or the linux-nouveau-modules binary dependency) be
versioned to ensure that the X driver and kernel module do not get
horribly out of sync? I would not like to annoy upstream with
unreproducable issues resulting from disparate versions (even if they do
compile).
* Maintainer/Uploaders field -- this is currently just set to me, *purely*
to keep Lintian happy and to force discussion. If the package is to
maintained in the XSF, this should probably change to:
Maintainer: Debian X Strike Force <debian-x@lists.debian.org>
Uploaders: Matthew Johnson <mjj29@debian.org>, $ME
Looking forward to hearing your comments, etc.
