Just as a placeholder for now.

I do not see the SRPM and spec file. Did you forget to upload the link or am I missing something?

First, we need bug #1788327 as a dependency.

Comment 3 Raphael Groner 2020-02-15 09:47:13 UTC
This request is mainly a preparation to give a chance to the emulator box86 and to get it into Fedora with packaging:
"Most x86 Games need OpenGL, so on ARM platforms, a solution like gl4es is probably needed."

Comment 4 Raphael Groner 2020-03-18 14:54:11 UTC
Well, I'd need real hardware to seriously test this with. Can someone suggest anything, maybe NanoPi?

I hid this review from a review listing. Once your package is ready, delete the "NotReady" word from a whiteboard field.

Thanks for your interest. Sorry for the long delay to provide anything, currently too busy with other things…

Copied over from bug #1788327 (rewiew GL4ES):

New review started in another request, see bug #1901665.
