It seems that I was under the wrong impression on the hole thing. Some of the files generated from these scripts are used in/by xserver. Although they are imported/tracked into version control of the latter in order to prevent the xserver build directly diving into mesa source tree.
The XORG_GLAPI_OUTPUTS files on the other hand, are the ones that were removed from xserver with commit be6680967a4(glx: convert to direct GL dispatch (v2)). Unfortunatelly they only cover ~20 lines of makefile rules, thus none of the python scripts can be removed/simplified. Apologies if I mislead anyone. -Emil On 04/07/15 10:42, Emil Velikov wrote: > Seems like there is a misunderstanding somewhere - perhaps some on my > end.
