Again me ...<br><br>Adding Pochu who is the clutter maintainer on debian side.<br><br>Also CCing the debian bug (588244) and seb128 who taked over ubuntu desktop role while didier is taking a sunbath ;).<br><br>Pochu, would be great if you could review the packaging from alf at best we could merge this into debian and put it in experimental.<br>

<br>
I have made an update to the prototype glx/eglx unified packages for<br>
clutter. The main difference from the previous version is that now<br>
clutter_glx_texture_pixmap() for eglx is just a dummy implementation<br>
that falls back to clutter_x11_texture_pixmap().<br>
<br>
Here are the full characteristics of the packaging (for completeness):<br>
<br>
* All variants produce a library with soname libclutter-glx-1.0.so.0<br>
and eglx variants also ship compatibility links<br>
libclutter-eglx-1.0.so.0 -> libclutter-glx-1.0.so.0<br>
<br>
* The API/ABI for all the produced variants is the same with<br>
the exception of the clutter_eglx_display() function that<br>
exists only in the eglx variants.<br>
<br>
* To attain ABI compatibility, a dummy implementation of<br>
clutter_glx_texture_pixmap() was added to the eglx variants.<br>
This implementation just falls back to clutter_x11_texture_pixmap().<br>
<br>
Note that in 1.3.x the implementation of the texture-pixmap API<br>
has been pushed in cogl and one can use clutter_x11_texture_pixmap()<br>
without caring about what backend is being used. For now, however, we<br>
are stuck with duplicating clutter_glx_texture_pixmap() in eglx.<br>
<br>
* The variant packages libclutter-1.0-{0|dev}, libclutter-eglx-es*-1.0-{0|dev}<br>
are swappable (they all provide libclutter-1.0-{0|dev}). So, to build<br>
packages against clutter just use libclutter-1.0-dev and libclutter-1.0-0,<br>
that is, do things as usual (just don't use variant specific defines in your<br>
source eg CLUTTER_FLAVOUR).<br>
<br>
You can try out the packages using ppa:afrantzis/clutter-1.2-unified<br>
The packaging branch is at lp:~afrantzis/+junk/clutter-1.0-x11-unified<br>
<br>
It would be great if you could give the new packages a try!<br>
<br>
Don't hesitate to contact me for any feedback or questions.<br>
<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Also noteworthy that Alexandros tested the packages and unity seems to
still work if you use the glx libs ... so thats promissing.<br>
<br>
Also the upgrade path I was told is still fine, so just enabling his ppa and dist-upgrading should do the right thing - please try!<br>
<br>
If we get no negative feedback on the chosen approach, we will try to
get a feature freeze exception and push this to maverick asap.<br>
<br>
Next step would then be to hook up the clutter_glx_texture_pixmap
implementation shipped in the eglx libs to the right egl/gles extension. We are working on this implementation in linaro with vendors.<br><br>Stay tuned and thanks!<br><br></div></div>-- <br><font color="#888888"><br> - Alexander<br>
