Cover letter [Buildroot] [PATCH 00/91] Update mesa3d & xorg

Thomas, All,

The problem seems related to libevas, where the dependency on openGL is poorly handled.

I'm working on it, but you are free to investigate too. ;-)

So far, I managed to get rid of the circular hell, with this:

- select BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D
+ depends on BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D
select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEET

But shouldn't BR2_PACKAGE_LIBEVAS_GL instead depend on a new virtual package for full OpenGL? We can imagine having in the future other implementations that Mesa3D for the full OpenGL, no? Like if you install the NVidia proprietary drivers, I believe they come with their own implementation of OpenGL, completely independent from Mesa3D, no?

Quoted 3 lines

In this case, since we can "select" a virtual package because that doesn't make sense, the dependency would have to be a "depends on", and we're good, no?

Oh, I never meant this patch was the correct one, even less so it should be applied.

As I said in the comment below, I wanted patchwork *not* to catch it. It is just a starting point of where to break the dependencies loop. And since time for bed was nigh, I felt it was better just to post it as is (just so I don't forget it during the night!)

Of course, the solution will involve some fiddling with the virtual packages. Probably, as you said, adding a new full-openGL virtual package and adding mesa3D as the provider.

As for the NVidia binary blob, I was anyway planning to look at it in the near future, so I can run XBMC properly accelerated on my media center. But there's no timeline...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
