Yes, the Mesa package should be merged with the XFree86 package in the long run. This sucks. Unfortunately, the only real solution I think is to marry Mesa into XFree86 as Bero suggests, and it is far too late to do this at this point in time. Alternatively we could include the XFree files in the Mesa code with the patch that is already there. Bero, can you update the Mesa package's main XFree86 tarball to also include the headers from XFree 4.0.3 and use them? The comment at the top of the specfile should be updated also so that when XFree gets updated the new patch will get created that includes the necessary stuff from XFree86. I think this is the best solution right now, as the only other one would be removing the dependancy on Mesa from XFree86 which will result in lots of bug reports from people running mismatched X and Mesa. The 4.0.3 code is unchanged from the last Mesa update so nothing else weird should change. Setting to deferred until the packages have been merged. |
