[WIP] Build libva with glx (remove libva-glx)

[st3r4g]

Since we have libglvnd now, it should be possible to build libva with glx support without introducing build cycles.
Untested for now
Hmm maybe the transition can be done by replace= and removing libva-glx completely

[ericonr]

Nice! It seems to have built fine, at least.

I have tested that the replacement of libva-glx with libva happens correctly. Couldn't test bomi because it seems to have a problem on its own (some missing stuff for the ui, results in a black window), I'll open an issue for that. But libva initializes fine as seen by the terminal log.

Now I'm thinking that QMPlay2, mpv and qtav don't need to be rebuilt since nothing changes for the binpkg, right? (because they weren't actually linking to libva-glx before)

Yes, I think that's correct.

ready for review

I can confirm that this introduces no dependency cycles. However, you need libva-glx and libva-glx-devel transitional packages to pull in the new libva and libva-devel, respectively. While XBPS will recognize the replaces directive if a dependant is updated and requires the new merged package, it will not recognize the replacement path on its own. Transitional packages will force this.

But here libva-glx depends on libva already (and same for -devel) so the replacement will always happen.

@st3r4g could perhaps add this explanation to the commit message?

[ahesford]

OK, that makes sense.
