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

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

Philippe
