That's a really good question. The .dsc file says they develop out of Debian's Git repository. At first I thought that the Ubuntu maintainers just forgot to update the Vcs-* headers in the .dsc file, but it looks like they sort-of do use the Debian Git repo: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ubuntu The latest revision I see there is 2:1.15.0-1ubuntu3, but 2:1.15.0-1ubuntu6 has been packaged. So I don't know what's up. I guess attaching a debdiff instead of linking a bzr branch is the right way to go here. -Richard > > Perhaps I should try a NMU to Debian itself instead... > > CANTATE DOMINO CANTICUM NOVUM > QUIA MIRABILIA FECIT > > Laércio > > > 2014-02-13 4:36 GMT-02:00 Richard Hansen <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>>: > > On 2014-02-11 06:47, Laércio de Sousa wrote: > > Hi guys! > > > > As I reported some months ago, my first patch was included in Xorg- > > server upstream master git branch: > > > > xserver: enable InputClass option "GrabDevice" by default for > > non-seat0 seats (#69478) > > > > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=c73c36b537f996574628e69681833ea37dec2b6e > > > > > > Now I'm pleased to annouce that my second patch was also upstreamed: > > > > xfree86: Keep a non-seat0 X server from touching VTs (#71258) > > > > http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=46cf2a60934076bf568062eb83121ce90b6ff596 > > > > > > With these 2 patches, xorg-server no longer needs > > systemd-multi-seat-x wrapper.
