https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191658 Bug ID: 191658 Summary: graphics/luxrays is no longer needed Product: Ports Tree Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: natbsd@instinctive.eu LuxRays is a raytracing library, that belongs to LuxRender project. I'm the maintainer of graphics/luxrays ports, but as far as I know LuxRender is the only application using LuxRays (and there is currently no existing or proposed port depending on graphics/luxrays). I filed the port only to help with updating graphics/luxrender. Moreover since then the maintainer of graphics/luxrender updated it, with LuxRays bundled in. On top of that, the point of LuxRays is mostly providing a ray-oriented high-level interface to OpenCL. OpenCL support in FreeBSD isn't stellar, so even if there was some obscure application needing graphics/luxrays, it wouldn't be that useful. So I believe the best course of action is to remove graphics/luxrays and leave graphics/luxrender with its bundled copy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
