[Bug 1968167] Re: FFe: xf86-input-wacom 1.0.0

 

Looking at the changes, it's a huge list. As you mentioned (and as
mentioned by the blogpost), those are mostly refactoring changes, but
this means there's a lot of risk of introducing accidental regressions.
Especially SO LATE in the cycle.

Normally I'd be against accepting it, but since in theory this does not
break FF (as there are no features and, at least in theory, no ABI/API
is broken), let's check up with the Desktop team if they would be fine
with such 'probably slightly somewhat risky' upload a week before Final
Freeze.

Title:
  FFe: xf86-input-wacom 1.0.0

Status in xf86-input-wacom package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The Wacom X driver has a new Debian maintainer now, so the package has
  seen some janitorial changes to the packaging, plus a new upstream
  release.

  We currently have 0.39.0, 0.40.0 added some new device support:

  >>>
  xf86-input-wacom-0.40.0 jigpu released this Feb 03, 2021

  This release of xf86-input-wacom provides bugfixes and improved support for several Wacom products. In particular, the "pan" action now behaves more appropriately in relative mode and heavy multi-touch use should no longer cause strange touch behavior. This release also adds support for the softkeys which some Cintiq models provide, although additional work in XKB and the desktop environment is necessary for them to be fully functional.
  <<<

  Instead of listing all the commits between 0.40.0 and 1.0.0, a blog
  post explaining the 1.0.0 release might be more appropriate:

  http://who-t.blogspot.com/2022/02/the-xf86-input-wacom-driver-
  hits-10.html

  So in summary, the driver has been refactored to allow easier
  debugging and testing. There shouldn't be user-visible changes in it.

  
  I've tested 1.0.0 on an Intuos 5m, and it's working fine.
