[Yann E. MORIN]

Jérôme, All,

On 2015-01-23 11:57 +0100, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:

So, I've pushed an updated series that does exactly that: add a
mesa3d-headers package, which is responsible for providing gl.h
(un-bundled from a previous series), dir_interface.h and dri.pc.

Thanks for the input! :-)
