Title:
"mesa" platform is no longer accurate and needs renaming
Status in Mir:
Fix Committed
Status in mir package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Our "mesa" code and packages mostly represents support for DRM/DRI
output. And the only use case for this till now also used Mesa for the
libGL* implementation.
This is no longer true however. With Nvidia and AMD soon to release
DRM support in their proprietary drivers, we will be supporting them.
These drivers will provide DRM display access, but as usual will
probably provide their own custom libGL* implementations. So won't use
Mesa.
This should work for Mir. However when a vendor provides their own
libGL*, we are technically no longer using Mesa at all. We will still
be using the "mesa" code path in Mir though. So that all needs
renaming to something more accurate like "drm" or "dri" etc. Not
"mesa".
