I've got a first draft of these packages done.
Also, I think I should maybe clarify the changes in how the
loader/validation sources pull in glslang and spirv-*.
Nothing has really changed WRT dependencies on the source code.
libVkLayer still requires glslang, which requires spirv-tools. The
only difference is that spirv-tools and spirv-headers is now pulled in
by the glslang sources, instead of by the LVL sources directly. I.e.
the "update_external_sources.sh" script clones glslang, then runs the
"update_glslang_sources.py" script, which pulls in the correct version
of spirv-tools and spirv-headers (inside the glslang source tree).
So, just simply changing the debian/get-external.sh script to no
longer pull in spirv-tools is not sufficient.
Could I suggest an alternative implementation of the
debian/get-external.sh script? Maybe simply call the existing
"update_external_sources.sh" script, then find/rm the resulting .git
directories inside of "external"? That would ensure you always had
the correct dependencies, even if Khronos/LunarG changes the way
they're fetched again.
