linux GL libraries and nvidia drivers (was: Re: deprecate some linux ports)

[Alexander Best]

i'm not running any linux-dri* port at all since all of them come with their
own libGL which i don't need because the nvidia driver provides that library.
all i need is libGLU.so (linux version) because the nvidia driver doesn't
supply that library.

funny thing is that only the linux-dri* ports come with libGL.so. the native
dri-* port doesn't include libGL.so and thus isn't colliding with the nvidia
drivers.

your suggestion sounds good. if i understood you correctly you want to change
the ports like this:

- have a linux_dri port without libGL*
- create a linux_libGL port
- remove the linux-libGLU* ports

it would be nice if the linux_dri would feature some options which let's you
chose which files you want to have installed. i personally don't need the Xorg
modules or the binaries which come with the port. only libGLU.so.

so how about the following options:

xorg graphic card modules
libglut
libglade
libexpat
libdrm
libGLU
binaries

cheers.
