Thanks for the patch! I had just done a similar one locally and confirm that
everything built fine on x86-64.
The last mesa update was part of core-updates(-frozen), but I heard in the past
it went into staging. These days, at least, mesa moves quickly, updating every
few weeks (the last few all 2 weeks or so apart).
So, I'd like to propose we set up a branch on the CI to build this mesa update
to then push to master once we confirm no big breakage in building. Then we
would have substitutes right away, which I think would be one of the big
concerns with updating something like mesa (again, since this is a set of minor
bugfix releases).
We could batch a few other changes to deploy at the same time, maybe the recent
security grafts?
It would be great to leverage that CI to move quickly on updates like mesa
which won't (we'll check!) be introducing breaking changes, merely lots of
rebuilds. Likewise with grafts->updates, though I'm less familiar with what to
look out for there. I suppose this is sort of the staging branch idea, but
maybe a smaller scale and quicker. Mesa, for instance, would likely have a new
version(s) if this is stretched over a month or two.
WDYT?
