Hi Peter,
Ok for the uninstall behavior, that's correct.
How would you update virtualgl for lucid and natty then ? Providing
libjpeg-turbo is done by our repo, isn't it ?
Copying adm, sudo(ers) and admin to bumblebee looks fine.
I will update acpi-call too for people who needs it.

Hi Bruno,
I've just booted a fresh Live session of Kubuntu 12.04 AMD64 and
can confirm that the new packages are
working properly. I'll do another test with Ubuntu 12.04 I think.
The "little problem with uninstall" is actually the expected
behavior. If you install Bumblebee accidentally
on a system with no Optimus, the configuration should not be
forced to use the Mesa libs. Purging
nvidia-current is the correct behavior.
virtualgl depends on libturbojpeg because the static library could
not be linked into the shared
librrfaker.so library from virtualgl. Note: this change is **not**
directly backportable to versions older
than Oneiric because natty and older do not have libjpeg-turbo in
the official repositories nor
support for Multi-Arch.
A workaround for the adduser stuff is by setting the default group
to "adm" or "sudo" thus
avoiding adding the default user to a group. This is really bad
practise though as these
groups have little relevance with bumblebee. What about copying
the adm ("may read
system logs"), sudo (sudoers users in 12.04 and later), admin
(sudoers in 11.10 and before)
members to bumblebee? That works in a default installation.
Summarizing the packages that needs to be copied to stable
(letters indicate ubuntu versions):
- virtualgl: o,p (oneiric,precise)
- bumblebee: l, n, o, p (no maverick, support is dropped)
- bbswitch: lnop (copy from precise) (aside, I just copied p ->
lno in testing)
libjpeg-turbo is dropped from precise and later since the
repositories already contain this
package. We may drop it from oneiric too for the same reason, but
let's keep it as it.
acpi-call is useful for testing and I know that some are still
using it to trigger a
switch of the card for certain hardware. Let's copy 1.1.1 from
testing to stable, lnop?
Peter
PS. I'm cc'ing this to the bumblebee ml as the public may be
interested in this conversation

Hi Peter,
Did saw that you've updated the packages. I did some test,
all worked fine. Update is OK, new installation on amd64
does also install i386 appropriate libs, so, looks perfect
for me. Just faced a little problem with uninstall, I lost
3D acceleration on Intel chip, but uninstalling
nvidia-current solved that.
I've noticed that virtualgl now depends on libjpeg-turbo. I
suppose this is necessary ? Else, I find still clumsy this
need to adduser. Don't we have any alternatives for that ?
If everything is OK for you too, I'm going to create missing
packages for other distributions, update all logs and script
and upload those.
