> TobiasThis sounds like asking mesa to carry a lot of complexity so that distros can build mesa as three separate packages. I'm really not thrilled about adding such a feature unless someone wants to step up and be the maintainer of that build mode and ensure it works. All of this complexity is technical debt that the project is assuming, it makes the build definitions harder to read and modify, and unless there's someone who actually uses such a mode (ie, not a core developer, since no one has asked for this), it's just going to get broken. We already have the most complicated build system I have ever seen (excluding Linux and the core OS of FreeBSD) with more knobs and switches for micro tuning, let alone all of the different combinations of drivers, platforms, window systems, and APIs.
