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

[Philippe DIDIER]

Hi !
This was discussed on this list in july for cauldron...
(after some previous discuss on  avril 20th  when freeglut was pushed in 
mageia1)

bug reports were done in the end august
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2412 (thanks to all that worked 
on it)

The whole job is done : packages needing glut as BR have been built with 
BR freeglut (or cleaned if they don't need glut any more)

Now Mageia is nearer from the common standard (using freeglut as other 
distribution do : debian, opensuse fedora gentoo, MacOS etc...) Mandriva 
remaining, alone, stuck with this old problem...

That means too that there is a larger gap now between Mandriva2011 and 
Mageia2 : no more upgrade  from Mandriva to Mageia !

3 steps remain :
1) the metapackage xorg-x11-devel need to be modified : asking to 
install freeglut-devel instead of libmesaglut-devel
  https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2748
2) mesa spec file may be switched now (Thierry Vignaud has already 
prepared it : one option to validate) and mesa rebuilt
3) freeglut may obsolete mesaglut (or mesaglut may be dropped out from 
the cauldron repo)

Must I send bug report for the 2 last steps ?

NB 2 packages provided by Mandriva, needing mesaglut-devel as BR, have 
not been imported in Mageia : if they are imported later they will need 
to have their spec file modified ... where to put a reminder for them ?
- libmgl-glut5
- pymol
