I (and many others, definitely) haven't neither i810-based cars, nor others
from this list. So question is - why I enforced to install all of these
dri-modules? We can simply split this package into a bunch of little
packages, for example mesa-libGL, mesa-dri-i810, mesa-dri-i830, etc. It''s
not a hard work, IMO.
This is a long term possible feature. In order for this to happen, here
is what needs to be done:
Looks like we are talking abount different things, Mike.
For splitting Mesa-package, we don't need to submit even single line of
code into mainstream Mesa-sourcetree. All we need is to provide additional
subpackages in the SPEC-file (look at attachment, where I provide a patch
to the mesa.spec, used for building FC's mesa* rpm's).
All we need is to properly patch SPEC-file.
The same thing with kernel. Not all of kernel-modules are needed actually.
Why don't repack kernel into kernel, kernel-modules-all (which contains
nothing, actually, but installs a huge number of small packages with
modules itself - the way xorg-x11-drivers does).
The X server has a stable Xserver<->driver ABI in one direction. This
means that from one bugfix release of a driver to the next, the driver
will work with the same X server. And new X servers generally will
work with the drivers they shipped with, as well as drivers from the
previous release or two. Every few releases of the X server, something
sometimes changes which breaks the ABI however, but it is generally
quite stable for 1-2 years or so.
The kernel on the other hand, very intentionally does not have a
kernel<->module ABI at all whatsoever. Last I heard, Linus had no
interest in giving the kernel a stable module ABI. Having the
kernel broken up into a bunch of individual per-driver modules
would probably be a massive nightmare. I wouldn't hold your breath
waiting for that to happen. ;o)
Who tolds about stable ABI-interface? I just suggest to split kernel into
a number of packages and add "virtual" one, that install all of them. Of
course, then someone will upgrade the kernel *all* installed packages
would be upgraded.
