DetailsDescription:
Recently the server nuked 20+kloc which essentially "forced" libglx to link against libGL. While things currently work, it would be nice if we can add the missing (runtime) dependency. |

As drivers depend on libgl through dri already, I don't see the need for libgl dependency for xorg-server.
In order to have the server working one can select between nvidia's libglx or the xorg-server one
- package "nvidia-libgl", provides "libgl" contains the file libglx.so
- package "mesa-libgl", provides "libgl" contains the files (symlinks) for libglx.so and libGL.so
So regardless of how I look at it, in order to have a working xorg-server (and a nice prompt at it's install time) one needs a "libgl" provider.
Am I missing something ?
Thanks
P.S.
Regarding the dri/mesa/mesa-libgl dependency I believe it's a bit off yet that's another issue.
So regardless of how I look at it, adding 'depends "libgl"' for the package seems like the correct thing.
It should be available with xorg-server-1.16.1
