primus: client-side GPU offloading for NVIDIA Optimus

 Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and implements
 low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via GLX forking,
 similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects GL rendering
 to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster GPU. On swapping
 buffers, rendered contents are read back using a PBO and copied onto
 the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in the first place.
 .
 Primus is currently intended to be used alongside Bumblebee and provides a
 drop-in replacement for optirun (i.e. "primusrun").

primus-libs: shared libraries for primus

 Primus is a shared library that provides OpenGL and GLX APIs and implements
 low-overhead local-only client-side OpenGL offloading via GLX forking,
 similar to VirtualGL. It intercepts GLX calls and redirects GL rendering
 to a secondary X display, presumably driven by a faster GPU. On swapping
 buffers, rendered contents are read back using a PBO and copied onto
 the drawable it was supposed to be rendered on in the first place.
 .
 This package contains the libraries for primus which are loaded when running
 primusrun.

primus-libs-dbgsym: debug symbols for primus-libs
primus-nvidia: NVIDIA Primus support using the proprietary NVIDIA driver

 This metapackage ensures that the proprietary NVIDIA driver is installed in a
 way such that 3D acceleration does not break. It does so by configuring the
 OpenGL library path to use the Mesa graphics library.
