[Mesa3d-dev] GLUT inclusion?

[Mike A. H. <mh...@re...>]

I've had several people asking me why GLUT is not included in
XFree86's Mesa.  We ship separate Mesa which has it, but if I
understand correctly, Brian Paul has added the needed bits to the
Mesa trunk so that it works with 3.3.6 now also.  When this makes
it into an official XFree86 release, we won't need external Mesa
I don't believe, and likely will just ship XFree86 Mesa.

I've mentioned this to people, and they are worried that GLUT
won't be supported because it is not part of XFree86 Mesa.

I do not use Mesa myself, so I don't understand how big a problem
removing GLUT from the distro might be.  Is there plans to
integrate GLUT with XFree86 4.2.0 at all?  If not, what is the
reasoning, and should we support it separately do you think?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks guys,
TTYL
