Description Evgen Boppi 2009-10-01 19:47:01 UTC

there is no link on the documentation list page for thre xorg 1.6 upgrage guide!
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide.xml

there is no blog post, which is vissible by default and this upgrade guide is not linked/mentioned on the document list page

xorg-server 1.6 has turned stable!
probably a lot of ppl will not be aware of this libxcb issues: "Warning: Please do read and follow libxcb's upgrade guide before upgrading xorg-server, or you will risk badly breaking your system."

there is no news item emerge, no forum topic and so on...!


Reproducible: Always

 oh, I forgot to mention, that a lot of packages will probably fail to compile 
              because of it...

We got a news item committed today, users who haven't done the upgrade yet will get a big fat notification from portage.

Thanks
