Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: wishlist

[ Let's try again. Guess I should learn how to use reportbug. ]

Hi,

I tried removing all gl related packages on a system which had no hardware
supporting it anyway and with a dire need for harddisk space, but couldn't
because xbase-clients contains a number of gl applications. I had to build
an empty package with equivs to satisfy the gl dependency, which is rather
stupid.

Would you please split out the gl clients into their own package? (from a
cursory look, most are just test or diagnostics applications anyway)


Regards,

Filip

The application from xbase-clients which is linked against libGL is
xdriinfo, and it doesn't really make sense to split it in its own
package.
The rest of the xbase-clients split is covered by other bug reports, so
I'm closing this one.

Cheers,
Julien
