Hi Andreas, Sorry to hear that you are affected by an auto-removal. With that and the removal date being in June, we should plenty of time to see where this bug is going and possibly device a fix for it. There is some recent progress on the upstream bug with a patch, which might bring us closer to a fix (@Rebecca: Kudos for the timely response to the bug when it was filed). Also, please keep in mind that regular updates to the bug will reset the timer. Even a simple """I tried this patch from upstream, it didn't work because of X. Notify upstream of the issue""" will reset the automatic timer. @Andreas: Assuming worst case, what are the options for dropping beignet support in your packages? (I appreciate that they are probably not the best, but ...) Thanks, ~Niels
