I stopped rebasing. It was too tedious.

I could verify that this commit also works.

But I have bisected already :)

Maybe you missed that mail. The problem is that reverting the commit
does not solve the bug on the current master branch. So I am searching
for a good way of finding another bug through bisecting. This would mean
that I would need to apply a patch of some form to make sure that the
libepoxy problem is fixed before running the bisect script again.
This is why I tried to rebase the master branch to not include commits
updating libepoxy.
I hope my problem is more clear now. Maybe there is another way that is
just too obvious and simple. If you don't have a good idea on how to do
it, I will do the bisect again and do an input rewriting for the package
I am building to use the old libepoxy and not the one of that revision.
This will probably involve tons of package rebuilding so I am open for
other approaches.

Tim.
