Good afternoon! The Haiku OS project (not-for-profit organization, founded in 2001) has found ourselves in a weird spot, we have a working Mesa software render library based on a *heavily* modified Mesa 7.4.4.
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/libs/mesa However as you can imagine, updating that is going to be a *big* pain point. As Haiku is looking to get some basic 3D rendering going on it's cards, we need to do upgrade to a newer version of Mesa. If we produced well thought out Haiku OS support patches, would Mesa as a project be interested in accepting them upstream? I think a better direction may be to move away from the heavily custom integrated mesa library and move to stock version. These patches would likely start as run-of-the-mill #ifdef __HAIKU__ macros. As Haiku has a much smaller developer base then Mesa (20-30 commiters) these first steps would greatly assist us in getting hardware assisted 3d acceleration going. Keep in mind this is all early analysis, I haven't tried porting 7.11.2 yet :) Thanks! -- Alex _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
