People that hang out on IRC have probably heard about my build system work. One of the first steps I've been working on finishing is splitting out the demos repository. We're currently distributing the Mesa progs/ separately from the main Mesa distribution, and most people aren't installing it, so from a distribution perspective it doesn't make sense to be in the same repository. On the other hand, for driver developers that are having to make clean on a regular basis, wiping out the programs (if you even use them) doesn't help since the programs aren't really changing. And if they are, when you're bisecting around trying an app, you don't want the app changing at the same time.
So, I've made a branch in my Mesa repository for a split of the progs/ From Mesa. git://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/mesa on the mesa-demos branch Open issues: Right now they don't install in general, but it would be easy to change if people are interested in a package that does. I've tested a bunch of them in tree and they seem fine. I've only tested the build on Linux with GL. The GLES stuff needs to get hooked up (I don't see a GLES implementation to test against or I would have). I don't know what to do about the progs/gallium. progs/gallium/unit looks like it should probably live in the Mesa tree next to the code that it's unit testing. progs/gallium/python/ though? None of the GLEW or GLUT is brought along with the apps. It looks to me like all OSes should have libGLEW and libfreeglut reasonably available. I'm not sure if we want the repository to contain all of previous Mesa history. Right now that history costs 145MB on disk for a deep checkout. If that's a problem for people, we could use the same tool that xcb did whose name I forget to to construct a history of just progs/ Where to go from here: If there isn't violent objection to this, I want to get this into place in /git/mesa/demos in a couple of weeks, and then remove those components from the main Mesa repository, plus the things that are only in there because progs depend on them (GLUT, GLEW).
