Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xgl
Please remove the xserver-xgl package source and xserver-xgl binary
packages from Intrepid Universe.
Justification:
*) Xgl is no longer useful for the vast majority of Ubuntu users. All free
drivers which have enough 3D support to run Xgl now also support the
GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension, as do the new fglrx and nvidia drivers.
For these users Xgl is worse than useless.
*) Xgl is all but abandoned upstream. It has been removed from the master
branch of xorg git, and the last update to the xgl-0-0-1 branch was six months
ago.
*) The xserver-xgl package fails to build from source, and, with the removal of
the mesa-swrast-source package from the mesa packaging, will require at least a
copy of the mesa source be added to its source tarball before it will build,
probably an old copy.
xserver-xgl has no rdepends.
