Description Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-04-24 18:00:43 UTC
Some users may be confused by the post install instructions now that libglvnd is the default.

Please update all versions to test if app-eselect/eselect-opengl is installed to lessen the impact.  eg.   if has_version -r app-eselect/eselect-opengl ; then ...

Other solutions to reduce this confusion are also welcome

Maybe just remove any reference to 'eselect opengl' at this point.
