Description Fabio Pedretti 2011-04-19 02:18:56 UTC

1) what about renaming swrastg_dri.so to swrast_dri.so so that it is consistent with the other gallium drivers (r300/r600) and one doesn't need to rename it when installing? It is already clear it's a gallium driver since it's inside lib/gallium.

2) --enable-gallium-radeon should probably be changed to --enable-gallium-r300:
  --enable-gallium-r300   build gallium r300 [default=disabled]

3) this should say 'build gallium r600':
  --enable-gallium-r600   build gallium radeon [default=disabled]

(Even better the gallium drivers should be enabled with something similar to --with-dri-drivers="..." )

(2) and (3) is done. I leave (1) to swrastg maintainers.

Comment 2 Brian Paul 2011-04-19 06:54:55 UTC

I believe George and Jakob should sign off on #1.  Cc'ing them.

Comment 3 Brian Paul 2011-04-19 06:56:18 UTC

Hmmm, I can't seem to add George Sapountzis <gsapountzis@gmail.com> to the cc list.

I'm definetely in favour of this FWIW.  I always end up creating a symlink swrast_dri.so -> swrastg_dri.so for testing.  It also matches what distros (eg. RedHat) is doing already.
