Hi Guix-ers, Time for another round of Mesa and friends updates! I've been waiting for another Mesa release but seems the 23.2 series has stalled out and now is a good time before 23.3 or 24. I've been using 23.2.1 for some packages locally without issue. I would like to get this branch built and then promptly merged, assuming no showstoppers. Actually, probably just cherry-pick since it is should just be a few commits and I find that cleaner, personally (but happy for advice here).
There's already a CI build job and I'll submit the request to merge for hopefully QA to compare. I will also do some ungrafting. Maxim, I'm CC'ing you since you mentioned the core-updates cycle about to happen, so if this branch takes some time maybe we'll be better off just combining. Let me know. Otherwise I hope to have the branch building in a few days and then let it churn. Here is a list of what has been on my radar and I'll be looking to apply on the mesa-updates branch. If there's something I missed and you think makes sense here (e.g. lower level graphical/X related libraries) please let me know. And yes, I need to make a Mesa team. It is on my list! 1. ungraft libx11 and libxpm 2. update mesa (23.2.1) 3. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65375> (libepoxy fix for GTK, see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64981>) 4. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65155> (mesa vulkan search-paths) 5. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65153> (sdl2 vulkan-loader; and update sdl2?) 6. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64637> (libdrm update; to even newer version now) 7. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/66727> (libxkbcommon update) 8. <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64639> (pixman update) 9. submit patch for mesa team Thanks everyone! And when you see the updates pushed on mesa-updates and builds become available, please do test and let me know. Or if you'd like to join this team of one, happy to have you on board. John
