Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: mesa@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mesa
Control: block -1 by 1032887
Please consider unblocking package mesa.
[ Reason ]
New upstream bugfix release, fixing #1029731 (RC) and many more.
[ Impact ]
If not accepted, bookworm will ship with various avoidable crashes and
hangs in the graphics driver stack.
[ Tests ]
Has been in unstable for 17 days, currently no RC bugs.
[ Risks ]
I'll leave this for the Mesa maintainers to answer...
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
I am not a maintainer of this package, just an interested user.
This can't migrate until llvm-toolchain-15 does (see #1032887, which I
believe is only waiting for a maintainer re-upload with build artifacts
excluded).
unblock mesa/22.3.6-1

I am normally quite suspect about bugfix-only new upstream releases, but I
do trust this upstream more than others and the release notes are
reassuring. A skim of the changes looks right. Unblocked.
