Package: mesa-utils Version: 7.5-2 Severity: minor In general, I'm all for shipping upstream changelogs, as their contents are often of interest. However, in the case of mesa-utils, doing so increased the package's installed footprint by approximately a factor of 15(!). Moreover, it already depends on libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, where the only alternative is libgl1-mesa-swx11; either option already contains an identical changelog.gz. (AFAICT, the non-free fglrx-glx and nvidia-glx drivers don't themselves provide libgl1, so they're not a consideration here.)
In fact, most of the sixteen binary packages mesa builds depend on other mesa packages; the only exceptions appear to be libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, libosmesa6, and mesa-common-dev, so I'd generally suggest leaving extra copies of changelog.gz out of the remainder. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages mesa-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.9-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.5-2 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library mesa-utils recommends no packages. mesa-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
