Quoting Treeve Jelbert <treeve AT scarlet.be>:
I tried to update cairo today, but it failed because it wants a recent version
of pixmap >= 0.10, which is only available in xorg-modular-devel.

I think that we will encounter more spells which need a recent xorg-modular.

What is the status of this?

Ummm...there is no pixmap spell, I assume you mean pixman? As for pixman in test, 0.10 has been in test since April 11, 2008 with commit d71d5dba77af582de55bea58a8f0a645bb3f90af. I integrated this from devel-xorg-modular as other packages also needed pixman >= 0.10.

As for getting xorg-modular into test, we have a master bug #13845[0] for people to file bugs against for what they find. I believe everything is set, including the automatic upgrade from xfree86{,-devel,-44} and xorg to xorg-modular. I tested this on one box (thanks dkowis! :)), but others are encouraged to help test, file bugs, and fix issues. There are probably various missing dependencies, but they seem to be fixed as they are found.

All, if you find *any* issues with using xorg-modular or upgrading from xfree86{,-devel,-44} and xorg to xorg-modular, please file a bug and link it to #13845[0].

If I have time I will go through and try to do one last "clean" install of xorg-modular and one last upgrade from xfree86{,-devel,-44} and xorg to xorg-modular. I believe Andraž is also waiting for a "stable" release, but I'm not sure if this is part of the hold for xorg-modular -> test or not.
