Even this could have been saved had this discussion taken place when
libglu1 was split off libgl1.

Geez, GLw obviously isn't as big a deal as GLU, and it would have to be
split off libgl-dev first.

What effort?  It's a lot more trouble to patch the XFree86 source tree
to pretend libGLU isn't there than it is to just leave well enough
alone.

I have *never* heard of any problems caused on people's systems by the
availability of two packages that provide the libGLU object files, and a
quick inspection of the Debian BTS reveals that the xlibmesa*glu*
packages do not impose a particularly heavy support burden.

I share your esthetic assessment that it's suboptimal to have XFree86
build and ship libGLU if it differs in no appreciable respect from the
version provided by the Mesa source package, but that assessment is
neither an overriding nor even a major concern for me.  There is simply
more important work to be doing on XFree86 packaging at present.

If XFree86's libGLU were suddenly to make a nuisance of itself, for
instance, by causing build failures or by having nasty bugs, then its
elimination might move higher on my priority list.

But for now it is no more than a wart, and the XFree86 packages
presently have more important warts.

The fact that you were henceforth unaware of it causes me to despair of

matter and the stridency of your complaints about it.

I want people to be able to smoothly upgrade from:
  1) woody
  2) the previous unstable version of XFree86
  3) the version of XFree86 in testing at the time this goes into unstable

I have a few concerns:
* package names need to be clear and communicative
* package names should be chosen such that they don't have to be changed
  again in the near future
* libGLU should not be dropped from the XFree86 packages until this
  action can be handled gracefully (same goes for any other library with

Of course not.  It's a virtual package (and, I guess, a pure virtual
one, which is even better).

That the most obvious choice of a package name is unavailable does not
mean that care should not be exercised in choosing a different one.
Your armchair proposals followed by Daniel's rapid adoption of them
without consulting me, even though he said he'd leave the issue "in my
court", does not strike me as a process exhibiting care.

The DRM is maintained by the DRI project, but this is the copy shipped

Easy, there. I didn't prod him into anything, and I pointed out the
transition issue. The question is whether transitions matter in sid or

anyway.

I have the impression that we're perfectly calm. You on the other hand

I wouldn't, why should I, but just libgl1 doesn't work for the libGL

Well, I don't.  If the XFree86-forked libgl1 works with DRI, why don't
we call it libgl1-dri?

Smooth transitions are important, a virtue Daniel seems eager to
discard, at your prodding.

I wish you'd both calm down a little bit about this issue.

Yeah.  The scheme is the same as practically ever other shared library in
Debian.  Take the SONAME, convert all capitals to lowercase, and remove
'.so.'.  This is perfectly clear except for library names that end in
digits.  So, libX11.so.6 will become libx11-6.

Or maybe you'd rather I added "-xfree86" to the end of every shared
library package name...

I feel that Branden's use of "calm" here is in the sense that the
changes have been committed rather more quickly than the depth of

The DRM is maintained by the DRI project, but this is the copy shipped
in the 4.3 release of XFree86.

Easy, there. I didn't prod him into anything, and I pointed out the
transition issue. The question is whether transitions matter in sid or
only between stable releases, where there will be one after woody
anyway.

> I wish you'd both calm down a little bit about this issue.

I have the impression that we're perfectly calm. You on the other hand
are acting like a boy who's afraid we're going to steal his candy. No
worries, you can keep it.

I for one am looking forward to your technical arguments to this
discussion.

I wouldn't, why should I, but just libgl1 doesn't work for the libGL
package unfortunately.

I don't like it.  Are these things really XFree86 X xserver specific, or
just DRI-specific?  I think the latter.

No, as has been discussed here, it's still mesag3 for hysterical
reasons. We have to set a good example. :)

I like libgl1-xfree86 better because the emphasis is on libgl1.

OTOH xlibmesa-gl(1) have the advantage that xlibmesa-gl-dev can stay the
same, allowing for a smoother transition.

Also, is there a naming scheme yet for the other libraries to be split
out of xlibs, which might be applicable here?

Nah, it's cool. It's work we can all do, and it's not terrifically

Mmm, I'm liking libgl1-xfree86. My original name for the DRM sources was
xfree86-drm-src, but that later got renamed.

drm-xfree86-module-src is far too long, IMO. How are the other GL
packages named - mesa-libgl1 and friends? If so, why not xfree86-libgl1?

Time for a little brainstorming session? :)

drm-xfree86-module-src ? (I don't really like drm-trunk-module-src etc.
either though, so if anybody has a better idea... :)

I can live with xlibmesa-gl, though I like xlibmesa-gl1 better. Another
random idea would be libgl1-xfree86 .

Bingo.

*sigh* How many times will we have to walk this through yet?

The libGLs provided by Mesa and XFree86 aren't the same. In particular,
the former can't use direct rendering, while the latter can't use plain
X11 rendering.

The libGLUs OTOH are both taken from the SGI sample implementation. _If_
there are any significant changes to libGLU, they will much more likely
appear in Mesa first. Maintaining xlibmesa-glu as well is a waste of
effort.

Not too bad, methinks.

No, as has been discussed here, it's still mesag3 for hysterical
reasons. We have to set a good example. :)

> If so, why not xfree86-libgl1?

I like libgl1-xfree86 better because the emphasis is on libgl1.

OTOH xlibmesa-gl(1) have the advantage that xlibmesa-gl-dev can stay the
same, allowing for a smoother transition.

Also, is there a naming scheme yet for the other libraries to be split
out of xlibs, which might be applicable here?

Nah, it's cool. It's work we can all do, and it's not terrifically
important.

Mmm, I'm liking libgl1-xfree86. My original name for the DRM sources was
xfree86-drm-src, but that later got renamed.

drm-xfree86-module-src is far too long, IMO. How are the other GL
packages named - mesa-libgl1 and friends? If so, why not xfree86-libgl1?

Thank you. I can look into doing it myself if that would be helpful, but
my time is tight and I might have to get familiar with subversion first.

> Any ideas on what we should call xlibmesa-drm-src and xlibmesa-gl?

Time for a little brainstorming session? :)

drm-xfree86-module-src ? (I don't really like drm-trunk-module-src etc.
either though, so if anybody has a better idea... :)

I can live with xlibmesa-gl, though I like xlibmesa-gl1 better. Another
random idea would be libgl1-xfree86 .

Bingo.

*sigh* How many times will we have to walk this through yet?

The libGLs provided by Mesa and XFree86 aren't the same. In particular,
the former can't use direct rendering, while the latter can't use plain
X11 rendering.

The libGLUs OTOH are both taken from the SGI sample implementation. _If_
there are any significant changes to libGLU, they will much more likely
appear in Mesa first. Maintaining xlibmesa-glu as well is a waste of
effort.

Oh, so you're proposing to stop building GLU, because we already have
Mesa/s GLU? Why isn't Mesa 5's libGL built as well?
