Hey!

I have decided to orphan these packages as they are useless replacements for the nvidia driver provided libs.
The rpmfusion 560+ driver will use the bundled libs.

I believe it's time fedora dropped eglstream support.

Thanks for the heads up!

Fedora 40 is now shipping Xwayland 24.1 which has EGLStream support removed, so we already effectively dropped support for EGLStream [1] where it matters most (not biased, nonono ^_~).

There is, I believe, a fundamental challenge with these libraries, in that they ship with the NVIDIA driver in binary form and the driver may rely on specific APIs or fixes implemented in specific versions of those libraries, so I can see the appeal of dropping the separate packages.

But there is also more flexibility in having those separate from what ships with the driver, for example, there are currently several issues affecting egl-wayland 1.1.14 and the latest driver and fixes are being posted to egl-wayland in github, with even an updated version 1.1.13.1 [2] to avoid issues with r560 and explicit sync with several Wayland apps apparently [3], [4], [5], [6]. etc.

Cheers
Olivier
