The directx-headers part of this is easy because it's just a build- dependency of mesa, but mesa itself is a big delta to a library that affects all users of the graphics stack: unlike the kernel, which has both GA and HWE versions where the user can opt out of the rolling kernel updates on the LTS, there is only one mesa package, so the impact of any regressions is higher.
I see that the current bug description is in line with the previous update, LP: #2019212; and of course, with respect to hardware enablement, this is an SRU we're going to want to take; but I think it would be best if there were a more explicit test case than just "Install the new mesa on various hw". Do we expect this new mesa to be tested on all certified hardware before it's released to -updates? Is there a feedback mechanism for us to *know* if Certification finds regressions on some of the certified platforms? Is any effort made to check for regressions on non-certified hardware? ** Changed in: mesa (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2037604 Title: Backport packages for 22.04.4 HWE stack Status in directx-headers package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in rust-bindgen package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in rust-clang-sys package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in directx-headers source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Status in mesa source package in Jammy: Incomplete Status in rust-bindgen source package in Jammy: Invalid Status in rust-clang-sys source package in Jammy: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] The graphics HWE stack from mantic needs to be backported for 22.04.4 directx-headers - build-dep of the new Mesa mesa - new major release (23.2.x) - new HW support, Meteor Lake.. [Test case] Install the new mesa on various hw, see that everything still works like before or better. [Where things could go wrong] This is a major update of Mesa, there could be regressions but we'll try to catch any with testing. And since it shares bugs with mantic, we'd already know if there are serious issues. We will backport the final 23.2.x at a later stage, the first backport is needed for enabling Intel Meteor Lake.
