Bug Description

Upstream still hasn't released Mesa 23.2.0 (as of Sep 19th) which is almost seven weeks past it's original release date. But at least we have an rc3 which is "only" two weeks old. Yes, we are getting close to mantic release but this series is something we want for Intel Meteor Lake support.

This is now fresh in Debian unstable, and has been in Fedora 39 for a month already without any apparent drama.

Build available at the x-staging ppa
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/ubuntu/x-staging/+packages

xnox: Separately to amd64, this new mesa would also be useful on many arm64 platforms with a lot of improvements for RaspberryPi, Ubuntu Concept X13s, and Apple / Asahi hardware.

I strongly request that upgrade of mesa is also considered because of the Arm platform improvements in Mesa 23.2.0.

The request is to ship rc, SRU upto final upstream GA .0 release, and enforce SRU policy after that.

Other distributions are also shipping this Mesa RC largely due to the very same reasons, thus this will align hardware compatiblity and performance with other distributions launching this autumn.

Given that this is required for hardware support, rc3 is tested already in Debian and other distros, Mantic is an interim release, and also taking into account Timo's familiarity with the package (see d/changelog), I'm +1 with this request. I also tested the PPA packages and they worked fine for me.

+1 also for the plan to SRU upstream release up to .0 and then follow the normal SRU policy.

For reference, a similar request was handled in LP: #1990387, and approved with a similar rationale.

FFe approved.
