Summary

0000151: Please remove embedded copy of GLEW and depend on external version

Description

Please remove these files from your SVN repository and your next release tarball:

src/client/GLEXT/glew.c
src/client/GLEXT/glew.h
src/client/GLEXT/glxew.h
src/client/GLEXT/wglew.h

You should depend on the external GLEW instead of having an embedded code copy of it. Not doing this means if a bug in GLEW is found in Debian then it must be fixed in many places instead of a single place.

Additional Information

(0000192) gcamp (administrator) 2012-02-06 17:27	Hi pabs, thanks for reporting this. I am aware of the issues and do this to make my life easier for all the platforms I need to support. If I get time I'll move them into dependency directories and update the configure script, build files etc. acordingly.
