Xorg 7.1 upgrade questions

Hey there,

7.1 moved to current and i want to upgrade soon.
This time i want to get sure before doing a big upgrade and whining if something fails

3 days ago i installed xgl-git and cgwd-cvs with compiz-git , all from AUR.
Do i have to compile all those again or can i just do a pacman -Syu and be set?

Thanx for this nice update, devs Now waiting or gnome 2.16

cheers,

Re: Xorg 7.1 upgrade questions

I'd be very surprised if you had to recompile your compiz stuff.  You might have to redo your xgl stuff, depending on whether the xorg libs in current are the same as the ones you installed from the AUR or not.  Give it a go and see

So, only thing that would be necessary is "xgl-git" right?

I think so.  But I reckon you'll be alright without having to recompile it, it should (touch wood) Just Work (tm).
