New Mesa 7.9 is expected very soon, probably late this week (rc1 is out). We should move the 7.8.x mesa based Xorg release before we build new Mesa 7.9 dri driver packages.
A closed source driver should never hold back an OSS package. So what's the state with nvidia and the new beta driver? If it won't hit the repos until the end of the week I don't want to wait any longer.
I would like to move it this week. I haven't seen big showstoppers in 1.9 that weren't available in 1.8 also, and the packaging quality of 1.9 is better than 1.8. In the meanwhile, development goes on and: - there's a new ati driver - there's a new intel RC driver - there's a new major version of mesa coming up I would like to move this stuff this week so testing is available for the new drivers and mesa. Another thing: I'll move cairo 1.10 this week also, besides various requests about the XCB backend and the rendering bugs in firefox, I haven't seen bugreports for it. The rendering bugs in firefox is a bug in firefox, not in cairo, which is solved by compiling with the included cairo snapshot.
