This Valentine’s Day there is a lot of red on the screen for the X.Org Server with the code delta as a result of renaming of their main Git development branch and in the process selectively dropping questionable patches to the prior “master” codebase.
The effort noted in January of X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year has now been realized. As of a short time ago today, the “master” Git branch is ended with new X.Org Server development now on “main” and in the process starting off from a starting point of 2024 and then laying on the acceptable patches that were queued up over the past two years. See that aforelinked article for more details.
This patch has marked X.Org Server’s “master” branch as now closed and superseded by the main branch.
The X.Org Server main Git branch can be viewed here for those interested. That branch is now in a cleaned-up state without many of the patches accumulated that were deemed questionable and then later reverted.
