cairo needs merge from debian

attached the debdiff of the only debian directory

you can't enable GL backend or bug #725434 would get reopened.. you'd need to check the drivers if they are fixed before enabling this

Thanks Timo for the precious feedback!

Ok, I have a nvidia card on my acer aspire 6910G, I'm installing nvidia-current right now, will reboot, test something and cat /proc/meminfo after a while.

I'll install the new cairo with this debdiff, reboot and see if it makes any difference.

Should I test something more in your opinion?

AFAICS cairo doesn't build-depend from nvidia, so I don't think a rebuild with it installed or not makes any difference, right? I can test the new cairo without reinstalling nvidia, right?

same firefox tabs, seems that the bug is not here anymore, right?

Updated debdiff, against the latest debian release.

Note: debian has disabled GL again.

this merge needs probably a "weston" sync
and a webkitgtk merge.

debdiff against webkitgtk

debdiff against webkitgtk

Per IRC chat, this isn't necessary any more (but I sponsored the webkit diff, thanks!)

Hi again Laney and Sebastian,

I looked again to the new cairo changes in debian, seems that we can almost drop all now, because the new release addressed all the patches that were backported from upstream.

Attached the trivial debdiff :)

cheers,

G.
