[bug#66964] mesa-updates: call for patches

[Kaelyn via Guix-patches via]

Hi,

I've just submitted a pair of patches for the mesa-updates branch: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/67136> updating xorgproto and xorg-server-xwayland. The xorgproto is a high-impact update (guix refresh reports rebuilding 8710 packages would ensure 22871 dependent packages are rebuilt), but required to update to the latest xwayland as xwayland requires a newer version of presentproto than in the current guix xorgproto package. The updating and ungrafting of mesa and a number of X.org related libraries seemed like a good time (and place) to update xorgproto as well.

Cheers,
Kaelyn

If the mesa branch is ready to merge so soon then I think we should just
get that merged and then I'll rebase the rust-team branch on top of new
master.  The rust-team branch is also ready to merge, but we're way
behind on aarch64 substitutes.  Either way the substitute servers will
be rebuilding all of rust so I think it'd be better to merge in
mesa-updates and then do rust.

[bug#66964] Request for merging "mesa-updates" branch

[John Kehayias via Guix-patches via]

Hello,

This is to start the process for merging the "mesa-updates" branch. A set of commits was just pushed there and the CI already has a build job for this branch. It is only 12 commits currently, but will be a lot of builds due mostly to the ungrafting of libx11 (and certain package updates beyond mesa itself, like pixman, libdrm, etc.). So, mostly waiting for things to build and hoping no major breakages. The ungrafts and version updates shouldn't be huge changes but you never know.

Please feel free to report any issues here and I'll update as well as things go.

Thanks!
John

Hi John,

I noticed one of my commit #65153 is on the mesa-update branch, it 
would be helpful if you could take a look at #65155, an update 
trying to export XDG_DATA_DIRS for mesa.  Since no one replied 
there, I'm not sure if this change is appropriate and if it fits 
in this update.

Apologies I did not see this message as I think you only sent it to the
bug number (which does not get sent to anyone else as far as I know). I
had meant to respond to #65155 but I think I forgot. I did have a note
on the thread on guix-devel about this briefly:

I'll follow up on that bug number directly to discuss.

Sorry for the miscommunication!

John
