what gallium interfaces are
So it looks from the replies that rbug and rbug-gui is still useful.
If we're going to keep this should we move the rbug-gui tool within the
mesa tree ? It would be nice to spare some of the "sigh... it does not
build" and let you guys just use it.

It sounds a good idea FWIW. I believe that rbug-gui depends on the gallium
interface, and we don't maintain backwards compatibility, so moving it
rbug-gui into somewhere like src/gallium/tools/ and have it built by default
should enable to keep it in sync more easily.
Indeed that was the reason I brought it up.
That said, integrating rbug-gui into Mesa tree is beyond my immediate
goals/needs. So I'll let those who do use rbug + rbug-gui to take that task
on.
Ouch... did not mean to come across as "you should do it" or anything
along those lines.
No prob. I just want to make sure that, by agreeing, I wasn't
volunteering :)
I'll need to read up a bit on how to preserve the
history, but it's already on my list :-)
I tried to do that sort of "git-history-rewriting/spliting" acrobatics
in the past. And I have mixed feelings from my experience: being able to
do `git blame` on the new tree is indeed nice, but it's hard to get the
history right, in particular it's pretty hard to ensure that things
build at arbitrary commits, which can create troubles when bisecting
(particularly because there is no option for "git bisect
--ignore-changes-in-this-path src/gallium/tools/rbug-gui"...)
The alternative would be to make
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/rbug-gui/ read-only, or just slap a big
notice in description/read-me saying "this code is unmaintained and
moved to XYZ", import rbug-gui as a single commit, and mention which
rbu-gui commit this was taken from in the mesa commit message.
