xserver/xorg/GL/symlink-mesa.sh and Mesa?

[Felix Kühling]

I think you'd also need to update a Makefile.am to have the new files
built in Xorg.

Every time a file gets added to Mesa HEAD the symlink script and
possibly one or more Makefile.am's need to be updated. This happens
pretty frequently ATM and keeps breaking the build. This situation kinda
sucks. But it's not the Mesa developers' fault. AFAIK no one told them
to keep Xorg up-to-date. And it's Xorg's fault if they use the Mesa
development branch for their builds.

Something like a stable Mesa branch that gets changes from Mesa HEAD
merged semi-regularly might be a good idea. Maybe a vendor branch in
Xorg CVS? Using the cvs import command should make this rather painless.
See also "Tracking third-party sources" in the CVS manual.

Just my 2¢.

Regards,
  Felix
