- disable the MIR backend, it's unmaintained and the mir team
confirmed they don't it since
right, as said libraries being used need to stay installed, you have remote
share support in the filemanager even if you never use that, you have audio
libraries installed even if you don't have a sound device, etc.
That said the GTK mir backend is unmaintained and we might decide to stop
I just want to keep my system clean. I don't have ubuntu-desktop and
lots of standard packages and noticed these Mir-related packages but was
unable to remove them. Not a big deal in general, but still a number of
packages that will never be used.
Also installation ISO contains these packages and
the libraries are tiny, why are they an issue for you? it's the way
linux binaries work, if you use symbols from a library it needs to be
installed. the library doesn't pull in the server though so it shouldn't
be an issue. you have a probably other libraries installed on your
system for similar
IMO this is a design issue in Mesa - it hard links to all the backends
enabled at build time. That also means, for example that a Mir based
system pulls in a bunch of X libraries. The same is true for Wayland. A
runtime dependency would be more satisfactory for everyone.

I have nothing against Mir itself, but why can't those packages be
optional dependencies?

Remove hard dependencies on libmir* in
Thanks for that.
However Mir is still under active development and is supported in
Ubuntu. Mesa is central to that effort and possibly GTK is too. So Mesa
will be set to "Won't Fix" for now. And GTK might also follow.
** Project changed: mir => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu)
