Fedora 15 "too old" for Mesa-git?

[chrisr]

Fedora 15 provides DRI2 2.3 and glproto 1.4.12, whereas Mesa-git now requires DRI2 2.6 and glproto 1.4.14.

Was it completely impossible to keep the old "swap event type" code as a "configure" option? E.g.

#define USE_OLD_SWAP_EVENT=1

Or don't developers like having testers any more?

I think they even discussed having that option, and decided it would be too much hassle.

It's really easy to install updated dri2 and gl proto headers:

I'm sure it's easy, but...

It's really easy to install updated dri2 and gl proto headers:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/dri2proto/

The headers are supposed to reflect the binaries installed on the system, aren't they? If I installed updated headers then surely they'd just be advertising functionality which simply isn't available in the libdri2.so or libglx.so modules that ship with F15.
