tjaaltonRAOF: what would be the rationale to statically link mesa to its deps?05:53
RAOFtjaalton: Steam would stop breaking, mostly :)06:01
RAOFBut, from a technical perspective, Mesa is in the awkward position of exposing its implementation details in ways that break people.06:01
RAOFIt's implementing an ABI that isn't just the result of building its DSOs :)06:03
tjaaltonah..06:03
tjaaltonbtw, mesa 13 merged in git, no big changes to the mir patch06:04
RAOFWe'll upstream that *any time now* :)06:04
tjaaltonoh cool!06:04
RAOFAnd by “any time now” I mean “probably about the 17.04 release timeframe?” :)06:04
RAOFThe reasons for statically linking mesa are roughly the same as the reasons for statically linking the apitrace tracers - you're essentially injecting that code into arbitrary processes, so you need to be careful not to disturb them.06:05
RAOFAlso, because we should be able to have automatic rebuilds anytime a Built-Using package changes.06:07
RAOFThis is a lie, but it's something we *should* have :)06:07
