It really depends, in terms of stability, for example intel drivers are being checked, radeon was checked, exa is still a Work In Progress, to don't even talk to XGL and AIGlx. i don't know, for me when nvidia and ATi launch drivers that can run smoothly in modular build. (Although they already work there, something in the changelog that says modular build supported), i'll push the bet to 2/3 months. But i really don't know and i don't belong to X.org, neither Xorg portage team.  |

Do you want them?
They are in http://pwp.netcabo.pt/0448311801/xorg/xorg-cvs.tar.bz2
I sort of introduced a hack so that it compiles in my pc, if that gives any troubles to the rest, please report....

Thansk, I'll add them to a -r2 ebuild when I update my overlay next time. Though I wont be able to test it since I have migrated to the modular tree now. |

| Now that you've moved to modular 7.0, what is the fate of the 6.9.0 build here and are you planning anything along that lines for a super tweaked 7.0 (EXA, XGL, etc)? |

Actually I like X11R7 as it is. If suse decides to port their compose cache patch to the modular tree I'll probably make an ebuild with that (I would do it myself if I knew how the autotools works) but right now there isn't much to tweak. |

Any particular guide you used to move to modular? I may give it a whirl. |

| If i have time this weekend, i'll provide a new bugfix patches. It appears that Xorg team has coverity to find new bugs and there a lot of new ones that were corrected this week. I think that there are some problems with radeon. this week new snapshot, appears to introduce some improvements. we cannot forget that in late May, Xorg 7.1 will be out... |

i did exactly as said here
| Code: |
1. Download the overlay from http://snigel.no-ip.com/~nxsty/linux/xorg-x11-overlay.tar.bz2 or http://enderandrew.com/nxsty/xorg-x11-overlay.tar.bz2 or http://www.kriga.net/dl/glibc/xorg-x11-overlay.tar.bz2.
2. Untar it in /usr/local/portage/x11-base/
3. Edit make.conf and make sure you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
4. Backup your old xorg-x11 with quickpkg
5. Unmask it by adding =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9* -* to your /etc/portage/package.keywords
7. emerge xorg-x11
8. Create the dir .compose-cache in your home.
|
i also add this
| Code: | =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1
|
in package.keywords but when i want to emerge it
| Code: |
root@mitjab pts/2 emerge -av xorg-x11
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 -3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -insecure-drivers +ipv6 -minimal +mmx +nls -nocxx +opengl +pam -sdk +sse -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
|
i can't see new xorg 2.6.9 version |

i think you need to add -* after the app-cat/prog in .keywords eg
app-cat/package -* |

Is that a typo? Otherwise it's supposed to be /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11. |

How does it compare in patches with your release?

AH! They hardmasked it in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
That explains why it wanted to constantly downgrade. |

From /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
| Code: | # Donnie Berkholz <spyderous@gentoo.org>
# Keeping masked so ~arch/arch users move from 6.8.2 to 7.0
=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9* |
Though when I add "=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9*" into /etc/portage/package.keywords it still tries to install 6.8.2.
Strange. |

I got it figured out. package.keywords syntax change
With portage version 2.1_pre5-r4 (though doesn't seem to work w/ portage version 2.1_pre5-r5), the entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords needs to be change from
| Code: | | =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.* -* |
to
| Code: | | x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.* -* |
And I had to add the following entry into /etc/portage/package.unmask
| Code: | | =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.* |
Slightly annoyed with the differing syntax between the 2 files. |

This is pissing me off big-time.
This is my package.keywords file:
| Code: | #=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1 -*
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.* -* |
When I leave the second line uncommented and try to do "emerge =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1"
it says
"x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1 (masked by: missing keyword)"
But when I comment out the second line and uncomment the first (setting a keyword for a specific version rather than a range), then it will let it be installed.
Why in the hell did they change the syntax? |

package.keywords | Code: | | x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86 |
package.unmask | Code: | | =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0 |
works for me  |

I've tested the official xorg-x11-6.9.0 from portage and as soon as I did it I had reemerged nxsty's xorg overlay.
In 3 minutes I had some 4 hard locks and I could only do: alt + ctrl + SysRq + b
I'm not going to test my reiser hdd with such a lot of rebooting
So sthg is wrong with portage xorg-x11-6.9.0 while nxsty's overlay works perfect here.
Somebody asked about the difference ???

1) I'm running full ~x86. If you look at the ebuild in the overlay that he's provided (currently version 6.9.0-r1) it has the keyword "-*"
2) In the first page of the guide it says
| Quote: | | Unmask it by adding =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9* -* to your /etc/portage/package.keywords |
This tells portage that any version of xorg-x11 with 6.9[followed by anything] would be allowed when it had the "-*" keyword. And that syntax used to work to set that keyword for all versions beginning with 6.9; now it does not.
So no; it doesn't "work for you" since you aren't even trying to do the same thing as me at all.
And forgive me if this comes off as mean. I just got out of a draining final exam. |

Should of mentioned I removed the overlay in the process of making this work - no offense taken |

This is what I get today after an -rsync: | Code: | --- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.*

Total size of downloads: 45,248 kB
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] |
I've tried the different syntaxes suggested here to keep my nxsty's 6.9.0-r1, to no avail. What's more, when I try to re-emerge nxsty's overlay, I get this: | Code: | emerge --oneshot =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.*
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9.0-r1" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:

# Keeping masked so ~arch/arch users move from 6.8.2 to 7.0 |
How can I unmask it? I've also tried different syntaxes in package.unmak, again to no avail.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
