Re: Bug#102917: please change priority
reassign 102917 debian-policy
severity 102917 wishlist
retitle 102917 [PROPOSED] make Mesa/GL libraries standard priority per LSB
thanks
I disagree with this proposal on a number of grounds:
1) There is more than one implementation of libGL available in Debian;
bumping one to standard would require choosing one.
2) If Xlib is optional, I would be hard pressed to believe that libGL
should be standard.
3) Surely we can be conformant with the standard in some, but not all,
configurations. Folks setting up Debian based firewalls/routers/etc.
almost certainly have no need for a GL library.
I urge deviation from the LSB if Anand is describing it correctly.
