Public bug reported: Mesa 21.0.0 will be released soon, and we still want it in 21.04. It's been in Debian experimental since rc1. The packaging also migrates it to use llvm 12.
The risks involve graphical issues or even crashes when running more intense OpenGL/Vulkan apps like games. Running a desktop is a simple use-case and should work fine across the board. Upstream gitlab has a fairly extensive CI for various drivers, while Intel tests on their own CI. This means that any showstoppers should be shaken out already. We will be able to pull maybe two point-releases before hirsute is frozen, and then push more as an SRU. I've tested 21.0.0-rc's on Intel and AMD (RX 5700) and the latter too with some games, all good. packages for hirsute are available on ppa:canonical-x/x-staging ** Affects: mesa (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917763 Title: FFE: new upstream release 21.0 and migrate to llvm 12 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1917763/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
