Just writing down some of my checks, comments, reasoning, in no
particular order.
a) src:mesa-amber in noble is in main, but in plucky and later it's in universe
b) bin:libglapi-mesa which is being dropped is in main everywhere up to
oracular. It doesn't exist in plucky and later
c) we have a NEW bin:libglapi-amber replacing bin:libglapi-mesa, so it needs to
go in main as well in noble. Since src:mesa-amber is in main already, that
seems to be right, and the LP page where the new binary can be accepted is
already suggesting the "main" component for it
d) So we have libglapi.so.0 which used to be shipped by bin:libglapi-mesa, now
being shipped by bin:libglapi-amber. What does ship libglapi.so? Nothing, turns
out, not even in plucky and later:
plucky:
$ apt-file search libglapi.so
libglapi-amber: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglapi.so.0
libglapi-amber: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglapi.so.0.0.0
noble-updates:
$ apt-file search libglapi.so
libglapi-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglapi.so.0
libglapi-mesa: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglapi.so.0.0.0
I was worried about also having to add a NEW libglapi-mesa-dev package,
or equivalent, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Should we perhaps add a build testcase to this SRU? Something that
builds with all these libraries and their headers, to be sure the
replacement (bin:libglapi-amber) is really a replacement? One could
argue that this was done in plucky already, which does not ship
bin:libglapi-mesa anymore, though.
e) regarding accepting bin:libglapi-amber into noble main, things to keep in
mind:
e1) noble has src:mesa-amber 21.3.9-0ubuntu2, and this update is keeping the
same upstream version (2.31.9-0ubuntu3~);
e2) the change to add the new bin:libglapi-amber package does not involve a new
./configure or other build time option: the library was already being built, it
was just being removed:
override_dh_install:
# Get rid of some files which aren't installed. Do not
# use -f to ensure we notice disappearing files:
rm debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/libglapi.so* <-------------------
...
The updated package changes that to:
rm debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/libglapi.so
