Description Andreas Schneider 2025-04-23 14:02:04 UTC
GLEW isn't maintained anymore and we should sooner or later remove it from the distribution.

Paraview and VTK switched to GLAD in the meantime, see also

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/7030

This is a reminder to move to GLAD with the next release.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2025-05-15 01:57:10 UTC
I know nothing about GLAD, and it's not clear to me what should be done regarding paraview.  Apparently paraview bundles some headers generated from https://glad.sh.  The Fedora glad package does not appear to provide any headers.  Should I just use the bundled headers?

Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2025-05-15 08:56:54 UTC
GLAD2 is just a code generator, it generates C and header files to include in a project so yes, you build with those included functions.

I just wanted to make you aware that you should remove the "BuildRequires: glew-devel" or what you have in the spec file as it isn't used anymore. Same for VTK.
