[Mesa-dev] Split libGLU into its own repository?

[Kenneth Graunke]

A while back, we split off GLw into a separate repository.  The 
rationale was that GLw should be maintained and released independently 
from Mesa/Gallium since it hardly ever changes and isn't closely tied to 
the core GL and drivers.

I'd like to do the same for libGLU.  I've split it out, created an new 
autotools build system, and uploaded a repository here:

git://people.freedesktop.org/~kwg/glu

It has all the history except for some old build system vestiges, which 
filter-branch ate when I moved files from src/glu to the top-level 
directory.  I doubt anyone cares about those, since you obviously 
couldn't use the old build system anyway.

I made the installed library libGLU.so.1.3.1, as this ought to be 
compatible with existing binaries.

If this sounds good to everyone, we can create an official /mesa/glu 
repo and I can go ahead and remove it from the Mesa tree.  We'll also 
want to cut a glu release (though it could possibly wait until Mesa 8.1.)

One concern I have is that libGLU in Mesa appears to have some build 
system magic for linking against OSMesa instead of libGL.  With the new 
system, I think you would need "pkg-config --libs --cflags gl" to report 
OSMesa.  I'm not sure whether that's an issue or not.
