In most cases this is fairly obvious but especially around OpenGL this is not so. We should try and document some of them The ones that I think should have an explanation, and some guesses to start with: * virtual/mesa Provides gbm.pc <- no idea where we expect this to come with really ??? * virtual/egl: Provides egl.pc and _possibly_ wayland-egl.pc <- I guess ??? * virtual/libgl: Provides gl.pc (meaning libGL) * virtual/libgles1 Provides glesv1_cm.pc (meaning libGLESv1_CM) * virtual/libgles2 Provides glesv2.pc (meaning libGLESv2) Another question: Should we add "virtual/gbm" or ask TI folks to do it if they think their fork is compatible enough? 74823 1 srifenbark 2017-07-06 15:21:42 +0000 Assigning to Kristi.

I essentially copied the list provided, so please provide additional detail as necessary and I will update. Additionally, if there are others to explain, let me know and I will update the list. Thanks!
