Hi all,
We currently have graphics/glu, graphics/glut and graphics/Mesa. 'glu'
is only installed if it's not already been installed by XF4; however,
this leads to problems:
You can't upgrade Mesa/glut properly if you are using XF4, since a newer
version of glut would require the updated glu, right? So in order to
update Mesa I have to remove the headers and libs provided by X and then
force glu/MesaLib to install.
These packages only install relatively small number of headers and
libraries -- would it be desastrous to rename the files installed by X
and install the required updated files through the package? Maybe an
'@uninstall' directive could then move the original files back upon
pkg_delete?
Also, currently neither glu nor glut install examples and demos --
should we create a separate package for this or should 'Mesa' install
these, too?
