New Revision: 21425
Log:
Mesa-19.0.1.
Now using a release build.
Drivers are limited to those which can be built on linux in the X86
architecture,
but all available drivers, even for old radeon versions, are again listed.
Note that tests now exist, and also that reducing the number of drivers will
not save much time or space.
