[Mesa3d-dev] Texture conversion in 3.4.x?

[Gareth H. <ga...@va...>]

Brian,

I backed out my texture conversion work from my DRI branch to get the
Radeon up and running with (what will become) 3.4.1.  Of course, I
realized in about thirty seconds why I'd done all the work in the first
place, as there are format pairs that the Radeon requires that currently
aren't supported.  And, having already done the work to support them, I
don't really want to hack a solution into the old code just to make it
fit.

So, I would like to include this work into what will become Mesa 3.4.2,
so that the Radeon driver can use the single-copy interface with 3.4
(ie. before the 3.5 driver becomes standard).  I realize that this new
code should not be included in 3.4.1 at this late stage, but do you have
a problem with it going in after 3.4.1 is released?  I'm not sure what
your policy is on this (this code still uses the GetTexImage function,
not the new ExtractTexel code, if it counts).
