I don't know, but I reported a mesa regression in this thread https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest....php?p=6632468 (Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2400). I bisected it to a commit about Intel BLORP.

No, GIMP didn't need this new version without this patch:
in the SlackBuild
# Allow a newer gexiv2:
0001-build-macos-Do-not-require-gexiv2-0.14-on-homebrew.patch
It's just an anecdote

Ok then i didnt ask for this new version others did. I just provided the fix that was already out there.
@volkerdi chose to upgrade it. It is his choice not mine.

would it be possible to build the kernel with CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR=n, so that compiling things like NVIDIA proprietary drivers wouldn't fail because of warnings from objtool?

Hi , i ask for curiosity , why default rust is frozen on 1.88 ?
Archlinux are in 1.95 , then if the problem is for need patches , probably exists now.
And YES , i see we have same version in /testing ... but curiosity about why stuck in 1.88
Thanks for the work!
EDIT: python-maturin builds with rust-1.95 , but cant build with 1.88 (too old) , as a informational only purpouse.
I install 1.95 from /testing and test some builds...stock system nothing need to be rebuild , extra packages builds fine with 1.95 , some fails with 1.88.
Please , WAKE UP NEO. ;=)

I'm sure you're well aware, but rust-opt still exists in ponce's repo for the example you just provided.

Yes , i know , but ..think this ... slackbuilds provide more newer rustr for 15.0 than -current for /main ... in -current im not want to install 2 rust versions, like not 2 ffmpeg versions ...2 kernel-versions ... etc etc etc.
I install rust-1.95 from testing ....build what i need (some python bindings) , and return to 1.88 , all fine , but strange to see slackbuild have more recent versions of rust than /main -current. :=)
Imagin install qt6 from slackbuilds cause is more modern than -current version ;=)
Including linux from scratch are in 1.95 ... all except slackware -current xD
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blf...eral/rust.html
As i say , is not big problem .... install from /testing ..and return to default after build python bindings.

Patch to reinstate BASH_LOADABLES_PATH
The SlackBuild in Current truncates BASH_LOADABLES_PATH to a single entry: either /usr/lib64/bash or /usr/lib/bash.
It was originally /usr/local/lib/bash:/usr/lib/bash:/opt/local/lib/bash:/usr/pkg/lib/bash:/opt/pkg/lib/bash:.
Of course, lib needs to be changed to lib64 on 64-bit platforms.
But you really want "." (current directory) in there as well when developing a new loadable: that's where the provided development environment will put the new shared object.
And you want /usr/local/lib/bash for the new loadable once it's finished, because upgradepkg will blow it away if you put it in /usr/lib/bash.
The patch below (and attached) gets bash.SlackBuild to change lib/bash to lib64/bash wherever it occurs in source and documentation.
@volkerdi: please apply.
