</div>One thing to consider is whether or not this will make it more difficult<br>
to cherry pick fixes to the 7.11 release branch. Bryan has been doing<br>
some really cool work, and I'd like to see it get merged. However, I<br>
also want 7.11 to ship on time and with as few bugs as possible.<br>
Anything that will make that more difficult should wait until August.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't think merging the glsl-to-tgsi branch would make it much more difficult to cherry pick fixes to 7.11. The main change in the branch is the addition of a new file to st/mesa (st_glsl_to_tgsi.cpp) containing the GLSL->TGSI translator. That in and of itself doesn't make it any harder.<br>
<br>The only existing files with non-trivial changes that might affect cherry-picking are uniforms.c and prog_parameter.c in core Mesa. Several other files in st/mesa and core Mesa have minor changes to make them work with either the prog_parameter changes or to work without Mesa IR, but I don't think those changes are enough to make cherry-picking difficult. They're at least not worse than most changes in master in that regard.<br>
