Well, if we go for incremental, then we should define a procedure to
test things. At least a VM / chroot with default options should always
build. I hope something like that comes out of the current process. For
every release of grimoire, there's a chroot (better two: basesystem,
for installation etc., and a bigger one to cover a useful set of
spells ... or even all spells that don't conflict!) and any change in
grimoire should keep that chroot to be able to

1) update (sorcery -g)
2) rebuild

I don't oppose that. And actually, the system I use most is indeed on
test grimoire with "old" xorg, too. But it's on the other end of the
spectrum where I only update things when I feel the need. I work on
this box and don't just update software for fun there. So it's no
reference platform for testing (but maybe it is an even more realistic
one?).

But, to get slightly off-thread-topic: Doesn't anyone have something on
http://sourcemage.org/issues/662? Is this at least reliably
reproducable for you?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
