I have just successfully merged the xorg-modular repo into a separate
branch in our grimoire tree. I will push this to the server ASAP and
thus deprecate the separate xorg-modular repository for any active use.
This is to comply with the schedule that was recently discussed on the
-grimoire channel that we get -modular into test by end of the year.
Sandalle has been working towards this end by making relevant changes
to the monolithic spells to deprecate into -modular ones.

All further development on xorg-modular is to happen in the devel
branch. I'd ask that also any further updates are to it are first made
in the devel branch and only after some runtime tests to be put into
the main grimoire. Reason being that the xorg devs have a rather bad
track record of breaking backwards compatibility since -modular exists.
Hence why I would ask for any critical updates(libs, server, devel
drivers(noted by odd version numbers(usually 1xx or similar)) be not
put into test unless they are well tested beyond the "does it cast"
requirement we have..


Ok this has now been merged and pushed... xorg-modular grimoire is now
officialy closed... All work pertaining to -modular should now be don in the
devel-xorg-modular grimoire or in case of testing releasese in the
major-minor version branches of said devel branch...

Be sure brain is in gear before engaging mouth.

Key id = F4C1F89C
Key fingerprint = 6FF2 8F20 4C9D DB36 B5B6 F134 884D 72CC F4C1 F89C


How does this affect users of xorg-modular? Do we get a warning saying that xorg-modular is deprecated? How do we switch over to the new grimoire?
