I am currently about ready to start testing of .debs out of the DRI cvs
tree.
I have a rough naming scheme, and a list of exactly what files will to
be overridden.
My rough naming scheme is as follows: xlibmesa3-dri, xlibmesa-dri-dev,
xlibosmesa3-dri, xlibosmesa-dri-dev, and xserver-dri.
The 4 mesa packages are obvious, they will conflict, provide, and
replace their counterparts[1].
Now, xserver-dri is a little less obvious, it depends on
xserver-xfree86, but also needs to override 14 files[2] from it.
Right now I'm undecided on how to do the override, calling dpkg-divert
from the preinst and postrm would work, but seems to be more of a kludge.
As soon as the name scheme is agreed on and we have figured out how to
override those files I can start testing on the DRI packages.
