[EN] Please update MESA version to latest GIT version

[siduction_fan]

Hi

First - thanks so much for developing this linux distro - exactly what I've been looking for - up to date platform like Arch but so much better because it's based on Debian! :-)

I just purchased the new Doom The Dark Ages game and it needs to have the latest Mesa version from Git installed (game crashes immediately on launch, lots of people investigated, and new Git version of Mesa has needed fix, based on SteamDeck fix).  Can you please push this git version of Mesa drivers asap?  It would be much appreciated as I'm very anxious to play this new Doom :-)

Thanks

Mesa git is always available.

Thanks for the quick response.  How did you get that?   When I do dpkg -l | grep mesa I don't see those git versions.  Latest I see is 25.0.5-1

How did you get that?

Easy, use the right repo.

Hi - this is obviously basic for you, but I'm relatively new to this kind of thing.  I'm guessing to add the repo I need a new list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ but would you be able to show exactly what needs to be created/added to make that git repo for mesa available please?
Thanks

Take a look at towo's output.

25.2.0~git20250509-1 500
        500 https://packages.siduction.org/extra experimental/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

You have to search for the active entry in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extra.sources and add " experimental" to the line “Suites:     unstable”.

Code: [Select]

Suites:     unstable experimental
Afterwards

Code: [Select]

apt update
apt-get -t experimental install libgl1-mesa-dri
A simulation (-s option) for me shows the upgrade to version 25.2.0 -- german output

Code: [Select]

apt-get -s -t experimental install libgl1-mesa-dri
