[arch-dev-public] libdrm / mesa / nouveau
We run into an ugly situation here. Another libdrm release is out - 2.4.35. And because current stable Mesa release won't compile with nouveau changes in libdrm 2.4.34 I can't bump libdrm. So currently nouveau-dri from stable Mesa release holds back all other graphics drivers. I suggest to go on and bump libdrm, remove ugly libdrm-new/nouveau and disable nouveau-dri in our stable Mesa. And then live without 3d nouveau in our repos until upstream nouveau suckers start to care about distributions or add mesa nouveau git stuff back to our mesa like Fedora often does. But I'd prefer to point nouveau users to build Mesa-git from AUR in a cleas way. Opinions? -Andy

I do not agree with that. We can stop going crazy and bump every package to the latest stable for once and lets keep having a WORKING 3d stack for our nouveau users.
