Nice! Congratulations!

Holy crap, I can't believe someone actually noticed that.
I just pushed out a newer mesa-23.0.0_pre20221207-1.fc37.src.rpm
But that's not working either. I'm going to build this on copr and and have some Fedora devs test it out.
Feel free to join this channel -- where the Fedora devs are discussing Asahi-Linux related topics.

These Mesa RPM's are FANTASTIC!!!
Good work!
I use with Gnome minimal desktop, work very stable and speedy! :)
No bugs so far...
All stuffs work expect Audio speakers... I'm waiting for this :)

Sorry guys, I slightly screwed up the versioning with the mesa packages.
I had used the rawhide mesa spec file as a template -- but for some inexplicable reason it had an Epoch value set in it.
So how that value works is that if Epoch is set to 1 you'll see a 1 prepended to the package version.
ie

[root@fedora ~]# dnf list installed | grep mesa
mesa-dri-drivers.aarch64                             1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux         
mesa-filesystem.aarch64                              1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux           
mesa-libEGL.aarch64                                  1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux           
mesa-libEGL-devel.aarch64                            1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux           
mesa-libGL.aarch64                                   1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux

mesa-libgbm.aarch64                                  1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux           
mesa-libgbm-devel.aarch64                            1:23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux

With the Epoch value removed it'll look like this

mesa-dri-drivers.aarch64                             23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37           @asahi-linux

I don't want to keep having to add that Epoch value to my spec file, there's no need for it.
Plus my Fedora builds don't have that Epoch value set
https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/mesa

So when version comparison is performed to work out whether a package needs to be updated, it'll compare the epoch value first before it looks at anything else.
But since I've removed that epoch value from the latest spec file, you'll have to "downgrade" your mesa packages in order to upgrade them (if that makes sense).

I've put out a brief synapses in the README file.
So long story short if you have mesa version 1:23.0.0_pre20221207 or 1:23.0.0_pre20221209 installed you can update to the latest version via the following command:

dnf downgrade $(dnf list installed | grep mesa | grep -E '1:23.0.0_pre20221207|1:23.0.0_pre20221209' | awk '{print $1}')

That should update you to 23.0.0_pre20221214-1.fc37

I redesigned parts of the installer today. It now creates a dedicated 1GB xfs /boot partition and replaces systemd-networkd + iwd for NetworkManager.
I don't expect anyone to perform a reinstall just for that....just throwing it out there ; )

Issue has been resolved.

from asahi-fedora-builder.

I've created that mesa SRPM here: https://www.leifliddy.com/asahi-linux/37/source/SRPMS/
However, it causes xorg to crash (I'm using lightdm and cinnamon)
It might work with GDM and wayland (I haven't tested it out yet).
But I'm not going to push out these (asahi) mesa RPM's until xorg can at least launch without crashing.

In anycase, the gpu development is moving at a rapid pace.
It won't be long until it's stable enough to use as a daily driver : )

Also, I might start using these Fedora Asahi kernel builds in the near future:
https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ngompa/fedora-asahi/
https://download.copr.fedorainfracloud.org/results/ngompa/fedora-asahi-dev/

I just need to test them out a bit....

from asahi-fedora-builder.

Chiming in with my experience- upgrading to RPMs built using the new mesa SRPM breaks GDM on wayland. Had to boot into runlevel 3 and undo the upgrade. Can't wait for it to be stable, though!

The edge configs that you enabled with the 6.1.0-0.rc8.asahi3.1.fc37 release work great, at least! So happy to have screen dimming back.

Ha, I only noticed because I was going to try and rebuild the previous release with the edge configs!

@leifliddy The downgrade-upgrade stuff worked :). No need to be sorry, it happens. Really good job! Thanks a lot!

Hi! Any update on the status of this?

from asahi-fedora-builder.

Yay thanks!
