I'm sorry about the somewhat out of place reply, but I wanted to point something out and this is most relevant place I could find.

There *is* going to be an OpenGL 2 in the future. Is that library going to be called libGL.so.2 or libGL2.so.0, no idea. Since there are a lot of reasons to keep a libGL.so.1 arround, and since atm it's not clear how backwards compatibility is going to be preserved, my best guess is the later (libGL2.so.x, with the x being pretty much irrelevant). The virtual package would be called libgl2 (that's entirery appropiate), and the XFree86 package would be called... uhm... xlibmesa8-gl2? I hope not :-\ If the 3 is meaningless now, the 8 would step into the imaginary meaning domain :-) (FWIW, I picked 8 at random, it's just a nice number) Some people are, as I type, pondering the feature-set of an OpenGL 3. -- Marcelo (give us GL_TETRA) Magallon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
