Running The Oibaf PPA On Ubuntu 14.10

And whose bright idea was it that led to the entire Linux graphics stack being fractured into 2 incompatible branches between Mir/XMir and Wayland/XWayland?

I don't feel sorry for Ubuntu users. They asked for it.

What do you need Mir for? Unity 8 is not even remotely in any usable state for desktop and won't be for many months.

I've always used the Xorg-Edgers PPA to get updated drivers and newer X stuff. Never had any problems on the three laptops I've used: ThinkPad X1 with Intel graphics, ThinkPad T410 with nVidia, and ThinkPad T520 with nVidia.

Seems that the Oibaf PPA has fewer options -- it has only the open source drivers, nothing else.

its a shame that while running this ppa or xorg edgers it will break mir support....
i wish this nonse would stop and mir support would go upstream and stop hurting the consumers.
i wanna be able to run the lastest version but since it does not include the mir support i refuse :C

So I guess 14.10 will not ship with LLVM 3.5

3.5 is in 14.10 native: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/ut...-toolchain-3.5
I backported it for 14.04 also.

What about LLVM 3.5?

The PPA include llvm 3.5 since its first rc1 version.

I think you meant add-apt-repository

there is an alias so both should work
