Hi !
This was discussed on this list in july for cauldron...
(after some previous discuss on avril 20th when freeglut was pushed in
mageia1)
bug reports were done in the end august
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2412 (thanks to all that worked
on it)
The whole job is done : packages needing glut as BR have been built with
BR freeglut (or cleaned if they don't need glut any more)
Now Mageia is nearer from the common standard (using freeglut as other
distribution do : debian, opensuse fedora gentoo, MacOS etc...) Mandriva
remaining, alone, stuck with this old problem...
That means too that there is a larger gap now between Mandriva2011 and
Mageia2 : no more upgrade from Mandriva to Mageia !
3 steps remain :
1) the metapackage xorg-x11-devel need to be modified : asking to
install freeglut-devel instead of libmesaglut-devel
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2748
2) mesa spec file may be switched now (Thierry Vignaud has already
prepared it : one option to validate) and mesa rebuilt
3) freeglut may obsolete mesaglut (or mesaglut may be dropped out from
the cauldron repo)
Must I send bug report for the 2 last steps ?
NB 2 packages provided by Mandriva, needing mesaglut-devel as BR, have
not been imported in Mageia : if they are imported later they will need
to have their spec file modified ... where to put a reminder for them ?
- libmgl-glut5
- pymol
