[Mageia-dev] Packages needing to be rebuilt with freeglut instead of mesaglut

Wed Jul 20 18:08:54 CEST 2011

It's just a reminder :
+there seemed to be a consensus about using freeglut instead of mesaglut (as all other distributions do, excepted Mandriva)
+
+Because of compatiblity when upgrading from Mandriva this couldn't be done for Mageia1 ...
+
+Now this might be done in cauldron : some rpms are already built with mesaglut-devel and require mesaglut
+they need to have their spec modified and to be rebuilt:
+(buildrequires : freeglut-devel instead of mesaglut-devel)
+(requires freeglut instead of mesaglut)
+
+Here is the list
+
+crack-attack
+cultivation
+enblend
+gl-117
+gpac
+hugin
+jasper
+libmgl-glut5
+libtiff-progs (tesseracttrainer requires libtiff-progs, perhaps it need to be rebuilt too)
+mesa-demos
+ocaml-lablgl
+openscenegraph (flightgear and  simgear require openscenegraph , maybe they need to be rebuilt too)
+perl-OpenGL
+pymol
+ruby-rbogl
+supertuxkart
+vegastrike
+
+Maybe some others that I forgot ...
+
+
+
+NB : freeglut and freeglut-devel rpms cannot be installed if mesaglut and mesaglut-devel are installed ...
+
+Maybe all these rebuilt rpms need to be pushed  in core-update-testing and tested by testers having installed freeglut instead of mesaglut.
+In a second time if this was OK, they may be pushed to core and freeglut may obsolete mesaglut
+(an option in mesa spec allows to skip mesaglut building)
+
+Hope this will help
