Hello gentoo-dev, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
First proposition on this list so hopefully not missing some kind of |
| 4 |
netiquette/policy. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I noticed for some time that there seems to be two use cases for the |
| 7 |
gles[123] family of USE flags in gentoo repo: |
| 8 |
1. enabling support of OpenGL ES, which seems interesting to have for |
| 9 |
more runtime choices, probably better usage of the drivers and better |
| 10 |
binary-compat support. |
| 11 |
2. switching from OpenGL (so the full API) to Open GL ES (reduced API), |
| 12 |
which is an entirely different kind of action as that reduces it quite |
| 13 |
significantly but might be useful for machines where the drivers do not |
| 14 |
provide (good) OpenGL. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
To reflect this I think the "gles[123]" USE flags should be renamed, |
| 17 |
first kind to "gles[123]support" and second kind to "gles[123]only". |
| 18 |
Might also be the time to globalize them? I'm not sure but I think that |
| 19 |
would help in signalling which USE flags are to be used in packages. |
| 20 |
(and I'm probably not the only one which tends to only put global USE |
| 21 |
flags in make.conf, this kind of USE flags being the reason) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Here is splitting use.local.desc in groups so you get a view of the |
| 24 |
more-or-less current state: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
