[Openchrome-devel] Need for a new release before xorg 7.5

[Xavier Bachelot]

Hi guys,

X server 1.7 is out and xorg 7.5 will soon be out too. The 0.2.903
release of openchrome is more than 1 year old now and won't even build
against x server 1.7, as pointed out on xorg mailing list[1]. It's fixed
in trunk, but it would be nice to get a release out before xorg 7.5. I
took care of all the previous releases but I'm having less and less time
to spend on openchrome these days, and I'm not the one to fix bugs, as
you all know by now. I can try to gather a list of the most critical
bugs blocking a release, then do the grunt work to have a release out,
but I need developers to work on the blockers. In the worst case, I
think I'll just release trunk as is, and hope we'll don't get hurt by
too much regressions. After all, I've been feeding Fedora with trunk
snapshots for a long time now, and it's not that bad.
This mail is also somewhat a call to arms. Who's still around and have
time to dedicate to the project in general, and this release in particular ?

Regards,
Xavier
