[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#572206: build a 32-bit libvdpau.so.1 on amd64

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: libvdpau
Version: 0.4-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi Andres,

I'm attaching a patch to build a 32-bit libvdpau.so.1 on amd64, so that
we have the possibility to convert the nvidia-libvdpau1{-ia32} packages
to transitional dummy packages later and only keep one variant of the
vdpau wrappers in Debian.

 * Build lib32vdpau1 [amd64], so we can replace nvidia-libvdpau-ia32.
   Build rules inspired by lib32z1. (Closes: #xxxxxx)
 * Add lib{,32}vdpau1.symbols.
 * Do not ship /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so, will be used never.

The last change removes a superfluous file - nothing is going to be
linked with libvdpau_trace.so anyway and the wrapper no longer dlopen()s
that file.

The patched package builds on i386 and amd64 and installing lib32vdpau1
replaces nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32 (190.53) without problems. I did not try
running anything that would actually use the 32-bit wrapper. A 32-bit
mplayer might be a target to test this. Did someone ever test whether
nvidia-libvdpau1-ia32 + nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32 was actually
functional?
