Thanks greg for looking into this. I understand that it's too much work?
It means I would have to have _all_ of 13.1 in the Tumbleweed repo. Things would be constantly rebuilding. I would have to do a lot more work, and Tumbleweed would be a stand-alone distro image at that point in time.
And that's something I've said I was NOT going to do at all every time this has come up in the past.
Thanks for clarification. I had no idea including Mesa would be SO much work, since repos including it were not that big. I checked the package numbers now and of course you are right: 2000 of 6600 packages is a huge portion of the distro.
Maybe the work would seem worthwhile when we know how many people would like this update. So I opened a request on openFATE:

I'll be back when a "reasonable" number of supporters votes this up :)
So, it will somehow, because people want this, become more "managable"? That's not how things work, sorry.
I would never imply such a thing. A high number of supporters now would only show that Tumbleweed could need more manpower to become a standalone distro in the (distant) future ;) I would step in, but I am just a user, no dev.
If you want the latest Mesa, try it in your own private repo and let me know how it goes.
I do not even know how to create a repo... However, thanks for your time, I won´t bother you further :) Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
