Patch Pilot report 2010-01-06

[Bryce Harrington]

Pretty puiet day, so focused on the various Xorg patches still
outstanding.  Most needed some grunt work done; some had gotten kicked
from the queue previously because of this, so gave them the needed
TLC.

#691653 - Unity-affecting X driver bug.  Packaged patch, stuck in a PPA
 to get verification of the fix from the reporter.  Will continue
 following up until resolved.

#597895 - Set of patches to xserver to fix a bluetooth keyboard crash
 when using XBMC full screen.  Verified patches were all taken upstream,
 and all but one were in natty's xserver.  Added the missing one to our
 xserver and uploaded, closing bug.

#325581 - Previous sponsor had unsubbed ubuntu-sponsors since patch
 wasn't upstream.  Forwarded bug report and patch upstream for comment.

#83142 - Fix to esperanto locale.  Verified patch is already in natty's
 libx11.  Closed as already fixed.

#474917 - nvidia kernel compilation issue.  Most tasks were already
 taken care of.  No response about the last remaining -180 task, so
 closed in expectation it's no longer a relevant issue since we don't
 ship -180 any longer.

#36812 - longstanding bug about keyboard layout changing keys
 (ctrl+shift) interefering with application shortcuts
 (ctrl+shift+<key>).  Apparently the patch breaks X11 XKB1 spec so can't
 go in upstream, but it looks it could be ok as a distro-specific
 patch.  I've packaged and uploaded it for natty so it can get some
 testing.  We might have to revert it though if it causes any
 regressions.

#575465 - SRU bug, just needed patch packaged and uploaded to
 -proposed.  Fixes mouse buttons when using application 'mangler'.
