4. Mesa 26.0.8 is extra work
not really[0].
a mesa backport[1] is itself a simple rebuild (no changes needed),
if the following packages are backported too:
* llvm-toolchain-21
=> simple rebuild, no changes necessary
* directx-headers
=> simple rebuild, no changes necessary
(could probably avoided, but not worth the effort)
* libdrm
=> simple rebuild, no changes necessary,
and you want that anyway for the same reasons as mesa itself
* spirv-llvm-translator-21
* spirv-tools
* spirv-headers
=> simple rebuilds, no changes necessary
(at least one of them could probably avoided, but not worth the
effort)
imho just backport 26.0.8-1 (or 26.1.0 later) - much less hassle, less
intrusive and works provably well (in ffwd since end of March, running
of a couple of hundred machines without issues ever since).
