Re: [Fink-devel] mesa and mesa-libglw

We can still make mesa- libglw a split off of mesa, if you want to; and keep mesa-libglw linking to the system GL (providing hardware acceleration). I just proposed additional changes to the naming conventions and possibly having also a full mesa package just to go with my proposed changes to the naming conventions, i.e., 1. why call it mesa-libglw while linking to system GL? Shall we call it libglw* instead? 2. Can we also have a mesa-libglw linking to mesa GL, just for the sake of completion and be consistent in the naming as I proposed earlier. Hope I have made it clear. Please let me know what you want to do with mesa and mesa-libglw, even if it is just carrying like it is now. Many thanks. Best regards, Murali. Those seems reasonable questions, and put very nicely. The reply came in the form of the following msg to fink-devel..

I am puzzled as to why we really want to have a complete mesa package in fink. Such a package will obviously use software rendering and thus be an order of magnitude slower than the system libGL which uses direct rendering. I have asked the X.org developers and they do intend to port the X.org X11 Leopard packages to build using Mesa 7 at some point (with modifications to properly use direct rendering). It would seem better to wait for that (as a replacement of the MacOS X X11) than to downgrade the performance of OpenGL with software rendering. Jack This seems to misunderstand the original request of a bit of coordination between the maintainers of those 2 pkgs (which have the same source). Besides, we can't wait _ we have a mesa pkg, and there are pkgs needing and using it now; further it provides libs (like libOSMesa) that xorg doesn't. And there is no reason to downgrade performance _ any pkg uses the libs it wants (or needs..) I am sure you both can coordinate those pkgs via private e-mail..

JF, What packages depend on Mesa? If I do... cd /sw/fink/10.5/unstable/main grep -R esa finkinfo | grep Depends I only see... finkinfo/sci/molmol.info:Depends: x11, freeglut-shlibs, openmotif3-shlibs, libtiff-shlibs, libjpeg-shlibs, libpng3-shlibs, mesa-libglw-shlibs finkinfo/sci/molmol.info:BuildDepends: freeglut, openmotif3-shlibs, openmotif3, libtiff, libjpeg, libpng3, x11-dev, mesa-libglw Jack On Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 06:34:00PM +0200, Jean-François Mertens wrote: This seems to misunderstand the original request of a bit of coordination between the maintainers of those 2 pkgs (which have the same source).
