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
Thank you Rémi and all x11 gentoo team, Woohoo!
