[bug#74780] Request for merging "mesa-updates" branch

[John Kehayias via Guix-patches via]

Hi Guix,

Currently the mesa-updates branch just has a few updates which seem to have built fine (on x86_64 at least), see <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/74779>.

I don't know of other pending changes other than a libva update I'll see about. Perhaps we can do some ungrafting too?

John

(CC-ing Efraim after the patch to build the asahi vulkan driver on
aarch64-linux)

I just rebased on master after further updating wayland-protocols and
mesa to their very freshest versions.

Not much else going on here, so maybe just let this build and then merge
to keep things current. Unfortunately the QA page hasn't shown a status
for this branch but I'll check later.

There are discussions about libglvnd support in Mesa I need to chime in
on, so we could tackle that, but not until the new year for me. That
will require a decent number of changes and lots more testing, so my
preference would be to merge this branch when substitutes are available
and then immediately work on libglvnd or whatever else is pending.

I didn't test it (I don't have the hardware), but it built just fine and
I assume the Asahi people know what they're doing.

I'll rebuild again on a couple of architectures but I don't expect any
issues.

That makes sense. Regular smallish updates are one of the reasons for
the team/topic -based branches.

I built mesa for aarch64, armhf, riscv64 and powerpc64le.  They all
built without any problems.
