Hello.
In the Mesa package there are -Dvalgrind=false and -Dlibunwind=false
Both of these switches give out a warning that "false" is deprecated in
favour of "disabled". It's not a big deal at the moment, but these two
switches might give an error in a future build.
Cheers,

Hello all.
The latest btrfs-progs now installs a pkgconfig file (libbtrfsutil.pc).
With current build instructions, this file is installed in
/lib/pkgconfig. To install this file to its proper location, the
configure section must add "--with-pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig" to
the instructions.

Hi all.
The cpio package has breakage with GCC 10. Here's a link to the issue
