[06:12] <tjaalton> RAOF: I'm prepping xserver 1.20 for a ppa upload, and dropped xmir as IIRC we discussed
[06:14] <RAOF> tjaalton: Rad. Make it so!
[06:14] <tjaalton> :)
[06:15] <tjaalton> I also need to worry about 16.04.5 and 18.04.1, and wondering if mesa 18.0.x can be backported but so that upgrades to 18.04 with glvnd still works.. safest would be not to backport
[06:34] <RAOF> The glvnd transition seems a pretty risky backport :)
[06:35] <tjaalton> well I'd just merge 18.0.x with the old packaging and not backport glvnd, but right now things depend on package Breaks/Replaces to work on upgrade, and those would need to be bumped in lockstep
[06:37] <tjaalton> hum, maybe get last 18.0.x in bionic and bump B/R on libglvnd, then push new mesa with slightly older pkg version to xenial.. could work
[08:56] <tjaalton> RAOF: btw, is mir from bionic getting backported to xenial? if not, I wouldn't be able to drop the mir bits from mesa for a backport
[09:07] <tjaalton> hmm looks like they were there still when 18.0.0 was started, should probably still work
[10:07] <tjaalton> tseliot: can you think of issues if the bionic xserver is backported to xenial as-is?
[10:07] <tjaalton> for .5 hwe refresh
[10:10] <tseliot> tjaalton: I think you dropped some patches in bionic
[10:10] <tjaalton> because they became obsolete
[10:11] <tjaalton> so maybe revert the patch changes, including adding outputclass support?
[10:13] <tseliot> outputclass would actually help
[10:13] <tjaalton> would you need to change all the drivers then?
[10:13] <tjaalton> nvidia-*
[10:14] <tseliot> I am going to either way, but things aren't that clear yet
[10:15] <tjaalton> ok, I'll push stuff to the staging ppa first anyway
[10:15] <tseliot> sounds good
[10:28] <RAOF> tjaalton: We continue to use Mir-trunk on xenial, but we don't use the hwe stack there anyway!
[10:29] <tjaalton> RAOF: ah.. well mesa isn't renamed so you'd get the backport anyway ;)
[10:29] <tjaalton> but that's fine, once this is ready on a ppa I'll give you a shout to give it a go
[10:29] <tjaalton> should work
[11:05] <tseliot> tjaalton: are we getting mesa with or without GLVND in xenial?
[11:06] <tjaalton> tseliot: without
[11:06] <tseliot> ok
