Intel's Vulkan Driver Merged Into Mainline Mesa

[nhaehnle]

Yeah, it would really be great if people provided an easy way for users to get the latest drivers on their distributions, e.g. with a PPA for Ubuntu *hint* *hint* *nudge* *nudge*

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is set to release Real Soon (tm) but it means it wouldn't get these goodies for a while and it would lack them for at least like next 2 years

somebody should tell this mesa developers asap, so they could pause their work for 2 years

The context of the question was: you are free to build LLVM from svn.

question was completely unrelated to context, since even released llvm is built by less than 5% of users

Just use the padoka PPA and be happy, thats what PPAs are for.

Anyone tried the PPA on Debian?
I'm running unstable.

There is no problem to have mesa-git and llvm-git in any linux distribution, download docker image and run any games or programs in docker, and you can not afraid to break your system.

Be careful in your wishes. Some MESA devs are actually reading phoronix...

Just some thoughts (I don't know the answers, marek):

• Is it correct for Mesa releases to advertise OpenGL 4.2 support before LLVM 3.9 is officially released?
• Can Mesa 11.3 be renamed to Mesa 12.0 before LLVM 3.9 is released?

Not sure. This needs to be discussed on the mailing list.
