Description Paolo Pedroni 2008-11-26 10:17:54 UTC
As seen in the provided URL a new version of xf86-input-evdev is out. More than
one week has passed, so I'm not supposed to having killed a kitten ;-)

Enhancements and bug fixes as follows:
Note that this version does not grab the event device anymore. If you're
updating from evdev 2.0, ensure you have [1] in the server to avoid events
being sent to the TTY.  Other patches of interest [2-4] are recommended to
avoid duplicate events.

Consider the evdev 2.0 branch to be discontinued.

IIRC, the first three patches are already in xorg-server 1.5.3.

AFAIAC, you needn't wait at all next time.

evedev 2.1.0 is experimental. If we bump it at all (don't worry, we will ;) ) it'll go into the x11 overlay, along with xserver 1.5.99.

Thanks

Are you sure? Nothing in the announcement says it is: it even goes as far as saying: "Consider the evdev 2.0 branch to be discontinued"
Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-03 18:25:06 UTC
It depends on at least 1.5.3, so it's in the overlay till then.
Comment 6 Paolo Pedroni 2009-01-15 15:20:53 UTC
It's been in the tree for a while. Closing.
