Hi everyone, I've been following the discussion regarding the Mesa 26 transition for trixie-backports. While the team evaluates the blockers for the major 26.0 upgrade, I would like to provide a tested, ready-to-use intermediate update.
I have successfully built and tested *Mesa 25.2.8-2* in a clean Debian Trixie (amd64) environment. This allows the archive to move from 25.2.6 to the latest stable point release of the 25.2 branch without requiring major updates to the base system. My changes involve two minimal adjustments in debian/control.in to ensure compatibility with Trixie's current packages: 1. Lowered libdrm-dev and runtime dependencies to >= 2.4.124-1. 2. Adapted spirv-tools-dev to spirv-tools (>= 2025.1~rc1-1) due to the package renaming in the current archive. Attached is the debdiff for *mesa_25.2.8-2~bpo13+1*. It installs cleanly and runs perfectly (tested with llvmpipe). I hope this helps as a reliable fallback while the transition to Mesa 26 is finalized. Best regards,
mesa_trixie_25.2.8_backports.debdiff
