Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

Mesa keeps getting more options added, but it's very rare some are removed.

I looked good at the options and asked my self : what benefit do they bring and do I need that ?

egl  - EGL is an interface between Khronos rendering APIs (such as OpenGL, OpenGL ES or OpenVG) and the underlying native platform windowing system.
gbm - needed for wayland
gallium-opencl - libclc / opencl .
gles2 -  needed for WebGL .

Unneeded
gallium-omx - very few applications that use it
gallium-nine - superseded by the directx to vulkan protocols
gallium-vdpau - va works a lot better
gallium-xa - what still uses this ?
gallium-xvmc - disabled it in mesa-git long ago, no one ever complained
gles1 - disabled it in mesa-git sometime ago, no one ever complained

One system I own does use the r300 gallium driver, but hasn't run mesa-git since 2012 .
All the dri-drivers and older gallium drivers can be removed without any drawback for me.

The drivers I do feel are needed :
OpenGL : -D gallium-drivers=radeonsi,swrast,iris 
Vulkan : -D vulkan-drivers=amd,intel,swrast

Everything recent enough from amd / intel is then covered by iris / radeonsi, while all other hardware can use swrast for opengl & vulkan .

This package would not replace mesa-git , but exist separately.
It creates smaller binaries and has shorter buildtimes then mesa-git .

I am working on such a package , but for now only have radeonsi as driver and a hard dependency on my llvm-minimal-git package.
If there's enough interest I'll add swrast and iris before publishing it to AUR.

Questions :
Would this be a valuable addition to AUR ?
Would you use this package ?
Do you agree with my choices what to keep / what to disable ?

It creates smaller binaries and has shorter buildtimes then mesa-git .

How significant is this?

Does it just prevent some *.so files from being built?

Does it actually avoid any dependencies?

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

dependency difference : just libomxil-bellagio

build command used for both :

The mesa-git PKGBUILD is the same as in aur, with one small change :
I added MESA_WHICH_LLVM=1 just before the top IF statement to ensure extra-x86_64-build uses llvm-minimal-git and llvm-libs-minimal-git instead of repo versions.

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

So it saves 3 minutes and 17 MB, one 0.5 MB dependency, but my other question "Does it just prevent some *.so files from being built?" goes unanswered.

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

About 19 *.so files are not build, also some include files and some folders.
Ofcourse some *.so files are build in both but differ.

A bit further down is the full report and for reference the PKGBUILD used for mesa-minimal-git used.
Do you need more info to answer my questions ?

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

I like the idea of a minimal mesa-git but at the same time I'm actually quite interested in the Zink developments so I would probably still stick to mesa-git then.

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

gallium-xa - what still uses this ?[

I think that is used only by vmware for accelerated 3d graphics.

Thanks, progandy .

Zink is indeed interesting and I had overlooked it . Thank you for reminding me, raneon.
I temporarily created mesa-minimal-zink-git PKGBUILD to check the impact adding zink has.

buildtime 6:32  , archive size 10,980,711 and minimal additional files compared to mesa-minimal-git .

Adding zink appears to have low impact on buildtime and binary size.
I've added it to my own version.

Edit : forgot to mention raneon, also clarified lines about zink a bit.

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

Mesa-minimal-git & lib32-mesa-minimal-git have now been in use on my main system for several weeks without issues.

I'll wait a few days for responses and if no one raises objections I'll submit it to AUR.

Edit #2 :
Someone else already created a package named mesa-minimal-git , I posted a comment there.

Re: Would a minimal mesa-git be a good idea ?

While I understand that some things are not used and should be disabled but I this a solution for a problem that you created.
First you reverted split packaging for mesa-git and now there are features that you don't want.
If you had split packages you can group them in subpackages.
I don't think creating an extra package is worth the maintenance.
