Daniel Stone and I have been working on modularising the Xorg server in the
nascent 'debrix' project. Some cleanup to the lib{dri,drm,glx,GLcore} set
will assuredly be necessary - if for no other reason than to make it work
with the libdl-based module loader (bugs 377, 400, and 600 are relevant, in
case anyone wants the details). Since I'll be doing that anyway, I can push
those changes to the DRI xc module until such time as we move to a branch off
Xorg.
Note to DRI people: this _will_ break some ABIs, so some version adjustment
will be necessary. I don't think anyone's doing anything exciting on the
server side, so that's not a huge deal, but it's an issue and I'd rather not
see the same version number used to mean two different things. Probably I'd
branch off our tree and push debrix changes to that, merging once we're
stable, and then anyone using the branch in the meantime would be doing so on
the understanding that they'll lose any versioning fights.
Fixing up the server-side to load the *_dri.so modules instead of GLcore (and
subsequently removing the GLcore module entirely) is also on my list. Even
with X as a GL app we'll still need a server-side component to handle the
indirect rendering case, and I still want to see accelerated indirect
rendering. That will probably come later though.
Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
