xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 stable.

[Ferris]

For those of you who neither subscribe to the gentoo-sparc mailing list nor follow #gentoo-sparc on IRC,
please be aware that very soon, xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 will be marked stable
for sparc. This is a fairly significant release, and is going through the test cycle faster than normal.

If you use xorg-x11 and this is the first you are hearing about this, there is some
documentation you should be aware of:

• Bug 64152 -- The reason we are doing this;
  
• Bug 63994 -- Current status of xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 on sparc
  
• Test diary;
  
• Formal test report
  
• Other links referenced in the above sources.
  

We belive this release is indeed stable, but if you have any concerns, you can help out
even at this late date by testing and providing feedback.

Regards,

[Ferris]

xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 is now stable for sparc.
