Hm, we might have a problem. Mesa 8.1 release is scheduled to be released on 17.8 according to http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2012-May/021473.html and I would like to see it in released BLFS since it brings so many improvements for NVidia, VMware and Intel dri and gallium drivers (probably radeon too, but I don't have such hardware to test it). Also, it is required if we want to include libdrm >> 2.4.33 for new Nouveau driver and other ones. I guess we could split packages in a month. I have one week or so to finish this exam stuff so I can help there too. It's just the Mesa that is bugging me. Would you agree if at least first 8.1 rc gets released before freeze that we add it, so we could later do possibly minor changes of upgrading it to stable release (yeah, that conflicts with package freeze, but I don't see any other option). I am not familiar with freeze stuff, but I guess we could not harm anything by upgrading to "bugfix" releases then, right? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
