Question Question on the mesa package


Hey Patrick, and the rest of the Slackware devs, now sure if you (all) have time to answer this but, are there any plans to add more support vectors into the mesa package such as OpenGL ES1 and ES2, as well as OpenMAX and OpenCL support for future revisions?

I know several packages being worked on, such as FreshPlayerPlugin for Pepper Flash support in Firefox and other NPAPI using browsers, utilize the GLES2 support vectors in the mesa, nvidia-drivers, and amd-fglrx packages, but currently to address the problems of support, we have to rebuild these packages, not a hard task mind you, to add support.

Will these support features be enabled in future revisions of the mesa package?

Thanks.

At least on Current GLES2 is already enabled.

Code:
  --enable-gles1 \
  --enable-gles2 \

Ah okay. Thanks Jack. Didn't notice GLES1 and GLES2 had been worked in yet, but they had. My mistake, on that part.

Mesa 10.5.7 was released yesterday. It builds fine under -current as far as I can tell.

I'm up to 10.6.0rc2 in my repo. I haven't had a chance to check out that version yet.

I've updated to mesa 10.5.7 too it runs great against xorg-server 1.17.1. I've enabled Gallium-nine too in mesa and use a patched wine to make full use of it. My older Windows games, like Operation Flashpoint, run flawless. Fun stuff!
