    Linux.org.ru community have prepared X-Server 1.18.99.1 packages for Ubuntu 16.10. x86_64 DEB, DEB-SRC. If you want to make PPA using this source, you're welcome! Currently there is no xorg-xserver-xmir build (bugreport is there), but the repository version 1.18.4 should'nt conflict with X-Server 1.18.99.1.

    Gears on Gallium community have prepared X-Server GIT packages for Opensuse. OBS repository
