Bug#630882: dizzy: shaders are disabled, due to bug now solved

2011-06-18 Thread Jonas Smedegaard 
Package: dizzy
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: normal

At startup of dizzy, it emits a warning that MESA is detected and
shaders are disabled, referring to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24553

That bug, however, is described as closed.

Seems dizzy should be patched to no disable shaders, and instead the
package conflict with older mesa packages.

I have discussed this issue with upstream. He already fixed this in his
Git repository but a possible new release cannot work in Debian because
our libsdl-perl is too old.

My plan is to apply the patch and disable the pre-rendering of textures
on install, which is not required when efficient shaders can be used. I
might add a versioned dependency on MESA, but dizzy _can_ work with
older MESA versions, albeit slower.

I want to wait until the dust from the ongoing MESA changes in unstable
settles down though. I do not even have GL working on my netbook at the
moment.
