Message-ID: <20161211083917.GA11923@home>


Hi,
The following Xorg drivers will be removed from Th:

xorg-driver-video-fglrx - not updated for two consecutive X server ABI changes

xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx - no update for new X server ABI
xorg-driver-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx - no update for new X server ABI

xorg-driver-input-acecad - unmaintained, does not build with new X server

Subject: Kernel packages for 3.18 only dropped (e1000e, open-vm-tools)
Message-ID: <20161212192629.GC11923@home>

Time to say goodbye to two more kernel driver packages. Those were build
only for 3.18 kernel line.

Very old open-vm-tools is too broken to be fixed and new version does
not need all that cruft. e1000e has code paths unfixable for 32 bit arch
on 3.18.

As it looks that Nvidia got their act together and released updated
legacy drivers, we will have 304xx and 340xx modules back in Th.
