This bugs is still valid. We don't have a problem with at this point, because we have both mir and mesa packages in the archive, so we can build new versions using the existing versions of -dev packages to fulfill dependencies (this needs some care when we make incompatible changes).
I think our best way forward is to remove the dependency libegl1-mesa- dev has on libmirclient-dev. It's reasonable to assume that a program that needs to use Mir with EGL will depend on libmirclient-dev itself, or at least mircommon-dev (otherwise how can it know about the MirConnection/Surfaces types it needs to pass to EGL?). I would also recommend changing mesa to build depend on mircommon-dev instead of the full libmirclient-dev, since it only needs the Mir EGL definitions in the former package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192908 Title: Mir/Mesa packaging have a dependency cycle so neither can build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1192908/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
