Hi,

While setting up various NetBSD workstations I realized that Mesa status
is a bit... confusing.

Regarding NetBSD, we have:

. Mesa 7.4.4 in NetBSD 5.x base
. Mesa 7.8.2 in NetBSD 6.x base
. Mesa 7.4.4 in pkgsrc/graphics/Mesa
. Mesa 7.8.2 in pkgsrc/wip

For pkgsrc's Mesa we have:

graphics/Mesa
graphics/MesaLib (have both dri modules + libGL)
graphics/MesaDemos
graphics/glx-utils
graphics/glu
graphics/glut

For wip's Mesa we have:

wip/Mesa
wip/MesaLib (metapackage for dri, glw, gl)
wip/glu
wip/glut
wip/dri (dri modules)
wip/glw
wip/gl (libGL)

I have some questions before putting my hands on those: not being really
familiar with the whole Mesa/dri/drm/Xorg infrastructure, is there a
strong reason other than lack of manpower why the most "recent" version we
provide is 7.8.2?

wip/Mesa is split up in many sub-packages, is this something we want? Is 
anybody still working on this? Last update was 2 years ago.

Any insight about this whole 3D world would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
