Since at least mesa 9.0, support for patented S3TC compressed texture is available through the external library libtxc_dxtn (lib32-libtxc_dxtn for multilib)
To avoid such bug report [0], i would like to move libtxc_dxtn in [extra] and add it as a dependency of xf86-video-{ati,intel,nouveau} packages.
Just noticed a mistake:
it's {ati,intel,nouveau}-dri and not xf86-video-{ati,intel,nouveau} packages
Any objections ?
I will push this with mesa-9.1.5 update
I did raise my concerns, but somehow the mailinglist didn't post my message (guess the message is stuck in moderation queue). Anyways: libtxc_dxtn is no longer maintained and code has only been tested on i686. Do you really want to add such a dependency to packages like intel-dri, ati-dri and nouveau-dri? I would rather suggest an optdepend or add optdepends to games that need this library. Also, there's a reason why Mesa doesn't include this stuff.
