Bug#365317: lablgtk2: remove the dependency on OpenGL



Package: lablgtk2
Severity: wishlist


It would be really nice to move the OpenGL part of LablGtk into a separate
package, so that the liblablgtk2 packages don't depend on them. In the current
state of things, installing liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev requires installing Mesa
libraries. Also, liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev depends on liblablgl-ocaml-dev, which
in turn requires Tcl/Tk development packages. On the whole, on my system with
an OpenGL-free Xorg 7 installed, installing lablgtk2 requires 52Mb of useless
dependencies.

I don't know if GtkGL support can be built into a package by itself, but maybe
providing two versions of the package, one with GL and one without, would be
enough.
