I'm not a huge fan of post_* magic, though. Could we perhaps avoid this by putting the symlinks in a separate package 'libgl'?

+1 for only having the symlinks split out. This should still simplify the installation greatly.

+1 for splitting those into a package Creating files in the install script is too fragile and a small package with just 2 symlinks doesn't result in a hard-to-read PKGBUILD.

What do other developers think about this approach?

-1 to having untracked files in /usr/lib

I have to agree with Allan here. Untracked files are bad and we have regretted using these in the past. It always ended up with "user interaction needed" update announcements. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Perhaps we could merge: - mesa, khrplatform-devel - libglapi, libgl, libgles - libgbm, libegl

Also, the pipe drivers from libgbm should be sorted into the *-dri packages.

The drivers are damn large (thanks to LLVM). No need to have them installed if you ain't got the hardware.

Can't you build them with shared llvm libs?

Currently it's not really possible, because mesa>9.0.2+ and <9.2/10.0 uses a different llvm (from Tom Stellar), 9.2/10.0 will use llvm 3.3 so using shared library should be faisable more easily.

Just asked on irc, libegl can only work with mesa, not with nvidia/ati blobs. So a merge between libglapi, libgl, libgles, libgbm and libegl make sense.

My current plan: merge libglapi mesa osmesa libgbm libgles libegl khrplatform-devel and a separate libgl with libGL.so and libglx.so conflicting with nvidia-utils. Not sure if we can do this without symlinks.

I'd like to keep separate *-dri driver packages. Nobody needs drivers for other hardware.

I've updated the Mesa PKGBUILD in trunk. Please have a look if it now covers all your wishes. Mesa 9.1 release is expected for this Friday. We will need an updated llvm-amdgpu-snapshot pkg to be able build all AMD drivers. -Andy

Some comments about the new mesa packages: - Remove mesa-libgl.so and mesa-libgl.so.1, they are useless, only create symlinks like libgl.so -> libgl.so.1 -> mesa-libgl.so.1.2 - Perhaps rename mesa-libgl into mesa-utils for consistency with nvidia-utils and catalyst-utils ? ++
