From Vladimir’s list of files, it looks like the SUSE packaging is reverting

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596481 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=596481#c7 --- Comment #7 from Daniel Dadap 2010-04-20 22:53:04 UTC --- Hi Stefan, Although NVIDIA is the only vendor that provides VDPAU drivers, libvdpau and libvdpau_trace are the open-source, vendor neutral core of VDPAU. libvdpau_nvidia is the NVIDIA VDPAU driver; other vendors can implement their own VDPAU drivers, the functionality of which would be exposed to applications by the core libvdpau. We originally provided all VDPAU components as part of the NVIDIA driver installer package. Later, we created the open-source “libvdpau” package to provide the vendor-neutral core components, so that distributions could provide libvdpau and VDPAU implementers needed only to provide the vendor-specific drivers. We asked distributors to start packaging libvdpau, but the Debian package maintainers raised the following objections about our file layout: - Since the libvdpau core and the NVIDIA VDPAU driver are now provided by separate packages, libvdpau_nvidia.so should have an ABI version number in its filename, to ensure compatibility between libvdpau and vendor-specific implementations in the event of a potential future ABI change. To comply with this guideline, we renamed libvdpau_nvidia.so to libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 - /usr/lib should only contain libraries linked directly by applications. libvdpau does get linked directly, but libvdpau_trace and libvdpau_nvidia do not, themselves being dynamically loaded by libvdpau. To comply with this guideline, we moved libvdpau_trace and libvdpau_nvidia to /usr/lib/vdpau The second change is the one that requires the “compatibility symlinks”. In our precompiled libvdpau binary, we use the linker search path to find where “libvdpau_nvidia.so.1” is, since we don’t know what specific path it will be installed into for any particular distribution. The symlinks are installed to whichever directory the libraries get installed to (which is presumably part of the linker search path), and link (with a relative path) to the libraries in their new location in the vdpau/ subdirectory. the layout changes we have made as of 196.36.15. There is no vdpau subdirectory in /usr/lib64, and the compatibility symlinks are missing. In the short run, the locations of the libraries and the compatibility symlinks as installed by Novell’s package should match the locations as installed by our run file. Most crucially, libvdpau_nvidia.* and libvdpau_trace.* need to be in their own subdirectory “vdpau”, and there should be symlinks libvdpau_nvidia.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.$VERSION and libvdpau_trace.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.$VERSION In the long run, NVIDIA will eventually stop providing libvdpau and libvdpau_trace with the NVIDIA X Driver. These will be provided by the separate libvdpau package instead. SLE and OpenSUSE should move towards providing packaging libvdpau to get libvdpau and libvdpau_trace, and providing only libvdpau_nvidia as part of the package for the NVIDIA driver.

For upcoming openSUSE/SLE releases (openSUSE 11.3/SLE12) we're going to switch to a seperate package for libvdpau and will only package libvdpau_nvidia together with the nvidia driver.

I have something ready for openSUSE >= 11.3. obs://X11:Drivers:Video/libvdpau obs://X11:Drivers:Video/nvidia-gfxG02 If somebody could test these, this would be helpful. For legal reasons you need to build the nvidia RPMs yourself. osc buildservice experience is required for doing that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is where the various implementations of libvdpau will look for libvdpau_trace and libvdpau_nvidia: - libvdpau from NVIDIA binary driver distribution, and older standalone libvdpau look for libvdpau_trace.so and libvdpau_nvidia.so (no version number; we know this is wrong behavior but it is done for compatibility purposes with very old releases) in all directories specified in the linker search path. - libvdpau from newer standalone libvdpau looks for libvdpau_trace.so.$VERSION and libvdpau_nvidia.so.$VERSION in the vdpau/ subdirectory in all directories specified in the linker search path. So to sum up, for compatibility with standalone libvdpau, please install libvdpau_trace.so* and libvdpau_nvidia.so* to a subdirectory vdpau/. For compatibility with older libvdpau implementations from the standalone package, in case a user decides to install this for some reason, you may want to minimally place a symlink for libvdpau_nvidia one directory up from the subdirectory. Note that you don't necessarily need to provide the other compatibility symlink for libvdpau_trace, because this will be placed by whatever older version of libvdpau is being installed. You probably don't need to worry about providing compatibility symlinks for versions of libvdpau bundled with older NVIDIA driver releases, in the event that a user manually installs an older NVIDIA driver, because these will install all the VDPAU libraries in the old locations. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

libvdpau package is now submitrequested for openSUSE:Factory (SR #38421).

Already accepted. Thus closing as fixed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
