Requests for current-next (15.0-->15.1)

Has any tried " iommu=relaxed " on the kernel line to see if makes a difference?

linuxdaddy · 02-01-2023, 01:23 PM

Ok later will do it, I'll use a 15.0 clean default install then update normal on it.

PHP 8.1.15

glennmcc · 02-03-2023, 07:56 PM

Well, it's in -current today.

Fri Feb 3 20:04:33 UTC 2023
extra/php81/php81-8.1.15-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

____________

Since it's an upgrade but not a bug fix nor security fix,
it is of-course _not_ in 15.0
____________

Since v7.4.x was EOL on 28 Nov, 2022
and v8.0.x reaches EOL on 26 Nov 2023

It probably won't be too much longer till 7.4.x gets removed from the main tree
to be replaced with either 8.0.x or 8.1.x
_________

All of my systems were upgraded to 8.1.x way back on 31 Aug, 2021

There is an improved patch for building (and shipping) both the classic i195 and Gallium's i915g drivers on latest Mesa from -current.

+  fi
 fi
 
 if [ "$BUILD_DEMOS" = "YES" ]; then

Mainly, it's about a better build logic, considering that on the current mesa.SlackBuild the (additional) Mesa Amber support is, well... optional.

As I already said, I believe that shipping both i195 drivers on Mesa is important, because the classic one is already legacy and the Gallium one is still maintained, with no signs that it will retired in the foreseeable future. Additionally, according with my experience, this i915g works better and with better performance with Plasma5 (even it presents worse artifacts) and on the XFCE sessions its behavior is excellent.

LuckyCyborg · 02-04-2023, 03:32 PM

And there is an improved patch for the Mesa SlackBuild, for building and shipping both classic and Gallium i915 drivers.

This time are removed some bits of over-engineering present in the previous patch, the end result being the same.

I do not need samba, BUT mplayer in the slackware repositories requires that samba be installed on the system.

Might it be possible to offer a build of mplayer (perhaps in extra), which does not require samba ?
