Please transition to packages from Debian

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The existing version in Ubuntu is 2021.02-0ubuntu1 and it does not contain any patches. The "0ubuntu1" seems to just be because the package didn't exist in Debian at the time. The only notable Ubuntu change to glmark2 in the past 10 years was the introduction of the Mir protocol in 2014, but was then dropped in 2021. So I can't see any remaining Ubuntu changes that haven't already been adopted by the Debian version.

I have confirmed the new Debian version builds on mantic:
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glmark2/glmark2_2023.01+dfsg.orig.tar.xz
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glmark2/glmark2_2023.01+dfsg-1.debian.tar.xz

Ah we do have problems:

Debian package 'glmark2-x11' replaces Ubuntu package 'glmark2' files without knowing about it.
Debian package 'glmark2-es2-x11' replaces Ubuntu package 'glmark2-es2' files without knowing about it.

So it looks like a merge will be required to get those old packages out the way.

I suppose we could fix this upstream in debian/control to just make it aware of the historical Ubuntu package names and replace them. Then Ubuntu could have pure Debian packages.

This bug was fixed in the package glmark2 - 2023.01+dfsg-1
