MesaDemos can use glew, and that's why upstream bundled it in. But mesa shouldn't dep on glew, or install any of it's files as it is still developed as a separate package by upstream. The glew dep in mesa is just.. /dev/null The dep should be in mesa-progs if, indeed, the 2 commands we install from it, glxinfo or glxgears links to it (I highly doubt it) So let's not force unnecessary libraries to our users?
Or remove it in next version, which is fine by me as well (as scarabeus wants)
Tomas, what's the plan here? Anything that needs to be done now? Thanks
Still waiting on upstream... They didnt decided yet, because they said they might not install it (no change on this front) or use the glew inside mesa as the actual upstream (also no word on this). So, if we really dont like glew, we could drop the dep and remove the installs, because it installs only the tests. Give ack or nak, and i will do the changes based on it.
Wiped out in live, so since 7.6 it wont be there.
7.6 is fixed (although still in the overlay) Closing
