Subject: [gentoo-dev] Deprecating virtual/opengl in favor of media-libs/libglvnd
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2023 14:23:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Y8fkus8XOXW2zAhq@air> (raw)
Hello everyone,
as by our discussion on #gentoo-desktop, we would like to sort out the historical artefact "virtual/opengl" which dates back to before Wayland and has become somewhat inappropriate (a misnomer, not sufficiently configurable, or redundant depending on one's perspective).
A quick recap of the situation, a description of the problems and reasons why it should be deprecated, as well as the "way forward" are documented here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:ManDay/Deprecating_the_virtual_OpenGL_ebuild
At this point we would like to invite everyone to enter additional feedback - including potential problems which are not covered by the article. When we're sure that everything has been considered, we can move to deprecating "virtual/opengl".
Thank you!
Cedric
