<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Philippe DIDIER at 23/01/11 22:38 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> I send this message again because it did not appear in the mailing-list
</I>&gt;<i> after I sent it on january 18th....
</I>&gt;<i> As it concerns a basis rpm upon which others are built, I thought
</I>&gt;<i> there's some emergency
</I>&gt;<i> This seems to have at least convinced Mandriva team... and might improve
</I>&gt;<i> Mageia too, reaching some common standard with all the other distributions.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Here it is :
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Hi everybody !
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I don't know if it's the right place to post this, and I don't want to
</I>&gt;<i> fill this mail list with long mesages...
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If someone needs to see what i'm talking about there's an old bug report
</I>&gt;<i> on Mandriva bugzilla that was recently resuscitated (I know Thierry
</I>&gt;<i> Vignaud had a glance on it...)
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47090">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47090</A>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Perhaps it would be more sane and safe to start on a universal basis
</I>&gt;<i> with freeglut (that is used by every distribution), and build packages
</I>&gt;<i> with it (but that means a temporary problem of compatibility with
</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva...)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Hope this will help
</I>
Yeah I've been following this in Mdv myself. I'll try and take a look
when time frees itself from other tasks I'm involved in.

I don't see any problems with the various improvements made in the
packaging in mdv, so see no reason not to adopt them here.
