[Mesa-dev] OpenGL ES only configuration (without "desktop" OpenGL support)

[Siarhei Siamashka]

Hello,

Some months ago, the commit "configure.ac: Allow OpenGL ES1 and ES2 only
with enabled OpenGL" dropped support for the OpenGL-free configuration.

    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-commit/2013-February/041708.html

Could this be possibly reverted to allow me to continue "shooting
myself in the foot"? The support for OpenGL ES is pretty horrible
in the open source software. One nice exception is Qt5 which is doing
pretty well. But the rest of the software does not generally work out
of the box without patches or tweaks. You can also hardly find a
problem-free OpenGL ES compatible open source game (other than Quake3).

I have an open feature request for Gentoo, which is a very configurable
Linux distribution and should not have any troubles working either with
or without OpenGL (the choice is up to the user):

    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476524

But if upstream Mesa treats this configuration as unsupported, then I
also don't see it progressing anywhere in Gentoo. So could you please
re-consider this decision?

Thanks.
