Bug#659440: bumblebee 3.1 package
Hi,
I just compiled the current bumblebee package git (2b221e81) and the
bumblebeed seems to work fine - I still have to test the new optirun
stuff though. Thanks a lot :)
However I have two questions (one could call them bugreports, but
there's no package yet to send a bugreport against ;-)
- The new README file says that primus was the default, but from all I
can see, the upstream default is not changed, and the alternative in
debian/control even prefers virtualgl. Of course, aptitude will still
install primus per default since virtualgl is not packaged, and optirun
will happily use it since the bridge is set up to "auto". Is that
intentional?
- More serious, the package does not deal well with the configuration
files in /etc/bumblebee. If I understood it properly, those file are
copied by the postinst from /usr/share/bumblebee/default-conf unless
they already exist. This means that if the default file changes, the
user will not be modified, and even users not changing the configuration
would not get the update. I do not even understand why this is done,
since dpkg handle configuration files excellently. If nobody is working
on that issue yet, I will try to fix this next weekend.
Kind regards,
Ralf
