Hi everyone, So here's what going on. The gcc maintainers have asked that we wait until gcc4 is built on all arches and has moved in to testing before we make our upload. The reason for this is that they don't want gcc and X.Org to have to move in to testing together, which would make life a pain. So we have some time on our hands to fix small things before the first upload, which will happen in a few days time. I've already tested my current package builds for upgrading from both unstable and the experimental packages, and they worked fine, so we should be ready to go as soon as gcc4 moves. I've started attacking the dbs->quilt transition a bit today. I haven't managed to get it to build packages, but I did get the patches moved and have begun incorporating quilt after ripping out dbs. To whet your appetites, I've attached a graph of all the patch dependencies for the X.Org tree, as generated by the quilt graph command. I'm going to keep playing with it, and maybe even get some packages built out of the thing. It'll hopefully make patch editing a lot faster in the future, without having to diff the entire tree and copy it twice over just to make a simple fix. Also, Eugene, Nathanael, and Julien: if you guys are planning to stick around and help out with X in the future, I'd love it if you got svn repo access from Branden. You're all doing great work, and it'll make life a lot easier on all of us if you could just commit directly without having to worry about me being around. I do hope you guys decide to stick around, it's been awesome working with you so far, and I'd really like to keep it going. - David Nusinow
