Hi,
I think this email went to the wrong place, because you only sent a "bug
report" not a patch. I think it's better to send these kind of things to
bug-guix@gnu.org

Best regards,
Barnabas Beres

Does your mail client mark it as a patch?  Strange.  I've deleted 
the original, but bug-guix@ delivered the list copy to my inbox 
and I don't see ‘patches’ in the header.

That said, it's not really a bug report either, or the bug is 
missing...

Romulasry, are you suffering from specific Mesa 20.0.7 problems 
that 20.2.2 might fix?  Please let us know.  An otherwise working 
package not being at the latest upstream version isn't a bug.

The core-updates branch updates Mesa to 20.1.9.  Would you like to 
submit a (tested) core-updates patch updating it to 20.2.2?

> Also it would be nice to see it built with lllvm 11

Same for this!  All help is appreciated.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Thanks for letting me know.  That shouldn't happen, but I can't 
say more without knowing more about your MUA and veering 
off-topic.

I can say only that it was sent to bug-guix[0], not 
guix-patches[0], and never had [PATCH] in the topic.  Both Web 
interfaces and emacs-debbugs agree.

A mystery,

Hi,

Mesa 20.2 brings direct OpenGL rendering support for Nvidia RTX 20xx
graphic cards with the nouveau driver, whereas with our current version
these cards have to use LLVMpipe.
I tested the update quickly on my local staging branch using glxgears
and vlc, and it worked fine. When reading a video the CPU usage dropped
from 30% to 2%, which is nice.

That is great news.

The current 'staging' branch is just about ready for merge[*], so a Mesa
update will have to wait until the next round.

However, I think libGL is fairly ABI-stable, so you may be able to
"graft" this version in the mean time, like in commit
fdd883509301845ddb4dc90e70e58b469afb5441.

[*] gst-plugins-good fails on armhf and i686, not sure what to do about
it yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/-/issues/803

I'll try this grafting trick, thanks for the pointer.

I saw that issue 803 of gst-plugin-good has been closed with patch
2ce5909f; are there other things blocking the merge of the 'staging'
branch into 'master'?

Now 'gst-plugins-bad' fails on i686:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/-/issues/1463

There are not a lot of packages depending on it, so maybe it can be
ignored.  However 'gnome' is one of the affected packages (through
'cheese').

Other than these I don't know any serious regressions, but it's hard to
tell because Cuirass has not been very cooperative:

The soon to be merged core-updates-frozen has a recent mesa (21.2.4).

Closing.

Thanks for the report!
