Well, I don't. If the XFree86-forked libgl1 works with DRI, why don't we call it libgl1-dri? > OTOH xlibmesa-gl(1) have the advantage that xlibmesa-gl-dev can stay the > same, allowing for a smoother transition. Smooth transitions are important, a virtue Daniel seems eager to discard, at your prodding. I wish you'd both calm down a little bit about this issue. > Also, is there a naming scheme yet for the other libraries to be split > out of xlibs, which might be applicable here? Yeah. The scheme is the same as practically ever other shared library in Debian. Take the SONAME, convert all capitals to lowercase, and remove '.so.'. This is perfectly clear except for library names that end in digits. So, libX11.so.6 will become libx11-6. Or maybe you'd rather I added "-xfree86" to the end of every shared library package name... -- G.
