Package: khronos-api Version: 0~svn29735-1.1 Severity: wishlist
While working on #865307 and #865308 I saw that the Khronos Group moved, see https://cvs.khronos.org/svn/repos/ogl/trunk/doc/registry/public/README.txt: ~~~~~ As of 2017-01-21, the OpenGL Registry has been MOVED to https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/ The new registry location is backed by a github repository at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenGL-Registry There will be no further updates to the public Subversion area. We are in the process of setting up redirects so that deep links under opengl.org/registry will continue to work, and the old website will remain active until those redirects are established; but everyone should begin using the new registry on khronos.org as soon as possible. Please file issues with the new registry on the github repository. ~~~~~ For now I uploaded 0~svn33340-0.1, so that we have the latest version from the old repo for comparison with the new ones. (There have been a few more svn revisions, but they don't touch the api/ directory.) Next I'll be working on updating upstream Wine to the current version and the new location. Then I'd like to update khronos-api here, however there are a few things to consider: 1.) Version ----------- Currently there are no upstream releases or tags available, so we have to continue to make our own number. Unfortunately 0~gitVERSION < 0~svnVERSION, so I suggest 0+gitVERSION. For the specific VERSION: A commonly used scheme (especially for golang packages) is 0~git<commit-date>-<hash> e.g.: $ git log -1 --pretty=format:0.0~git%cd.%h --date=format:%Y%m%d%H%M 0.0~git201707111832.9755811 This works without any additional tags. Also the maintainer of the github repo may merge other branches, even if they have older committer dates, without breaking it. AFAICS also cherry-picking an old commit, or rebasing another branch, should work. Alternatively we might tag the inital commit in the repo "0", and then use git describe: $ git tag 0 2f2b0f91f0a7ed3b468e03593dde66176e9b3032 $ git describe --tags 0-126-g9755811 $ VERSION="$(git describe --tags | sed "s|-|+git|")-1" $ echo $VERSION 0+git126-g9755811-1 Any preferences or suggestions? 2.) EGL API and Extension Registry EGL is part of the current khronos-api package, but Khronos moved it now to a separate repository. (I might have gotten this wrong, or missed further changes. Can't say for sure yet.) This shouldn't be a problem for Wine, because it only uses gl.xml and wgl.xml. But there's one other package (qtwebengine-opensource-src) which build-depends on khronos-api. I've rebuilt that successfully with 0~svn33340-0.1, but I don't know yet if it requires egl. So we have to keep that in mind, but generally I'd just suggest to drop egl from the khronos-api package (no multi source tarball package). Greets jre
