Well, if it is decided to put linGLU in XFree86, I can ship it in my xlibgl1 and xlibgl-dev packages, and James Treacy (our Mesa maintainer) doesn't have to split out libGLU. Typically, Debian minimizes the number of shared libraries in any one package. I'd particularly like the input of Brian Paul on this issue. Brian, do you feel that libGL, libGLU, and libOSMesa should all occupy separate packages in Debian, or should they be rolled together? My first inclination in to have these 3 libs in separate packages, especially since there may be multiple implementations packaged. That is why I have "xlibgl1" and "xlibosmesa3". But I haven't officially released XFree86 4.x .debs yet, so if I need to change my approach, now is the time to do it. -- G.
