Hi,

this is in response to a thread started here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/07/msg00292.html
and later continued here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/10/msg00137.html

In order to simplify managing alternative GL implementations, I propose
to ship the MESA libraries in $libdir/mesa/ with symlinks to libGL.so.1
and libGL.so in $libdir/
This is a first start and helps to reduce the number of diversions
needed.
The next step would be the use of some alternatives system directly
in the MESA packages (that needs to be multi-arch aware). This will
remove the need for diversions at all, but needs more discussion ...

I also sent some patches to debian-x@ but never submitted a bug report,
so these patches for moving libGL* probably were forgotten:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/10/msg00149.html (for GL)
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2011/10/msg00378.html (for EGL, GLES)

If anyone is interested, I'll update the patches for MESA 8.


Andreas
