Hi.
Would it be possible to change packaging of XFree86 and XFree86-Mesa-libGL slightly, so that
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a
and
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a
could belong to XFree86-Mesa-libGL instead of XFree86? This would make it _so_ much easier to package replacement OpenGL libraries (Nvidia for example). One would just add a Conflicts: XFree86-Mesa-libGL, and all file conflicts would go away.

Whilst we're on this topic, how about a XFree86-SDK package (please excuse me if this is already done) so that new drivers (e.g. linuxwacom) that depend upon parts of the XFree86 source tree can be built easily?
Ta!

Umm, this is buildable from the src.rpm but is a bit borked - make depend doesn't work so you cant just run mkmf script, I think the via driver
Just change the first %define build_sdk to 1 and rebuild the rpm :)
I've also found some stuff needs more than the sdk (synaptics and vnc) so in addition I've a bug out for XFree86-source as well, though I'm not an X hacker so it may be possible to build with the sdk using some voodo but the synaptics driver looked to need headers not available with -devel and -sdk. VNC also ships the whole XFree86 tgz in the src.rpm atm which sucks so using a -source package and lndir worked well for me.

Seconded.

Seconded.
Great, at least one person agrees :-).
It's now in bugzilla, for those interested:
