I also remember that it depends (or is helped by) some changes in recent kernels, 6.7 and/or 6.8 if I remember. So, maybe we can take this approach: 1. Make the update just to 24.0.3 for mesa (does that require newer meson?) 2. Add any rust packages as needed to master 3. Either add a mesa-next (to master?) or followup on mesa-updates after it gets merged to master with a mesa based on 24.1 (as soon as it is tagged) with NVK enabled. This will let us at least get mesa built and make for a headstart come 24.0.1. With 24.1 soon ("this quarter"?) and how long it can take us to build on non-x86 architectures, it would be nice to have that go quickly. Since I'll be including cairo, libdrm, and vulkan updates (at least) this round, I anticipate it taking a bit. Does that sound okay? It'll give some time to test things and clean up/find alternatives as Efraim suggested. I'm also not opposed to just enabling NVK now. In that case, we should have one commit to just update mesa and another to enable NVK. >> I also tried a couple of different options.

I would like to start pushing patches and building everything in the next few days, especially as some have sat for a while and it will take time to build. John

I also remember that it depends (or is > helped by) some changes in recent kernels, 6.7 and/or 6.8 if I remember. 6.6 appears to be the minimum required according to mesa docs, if that changes anything: https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/nvk.html#kernel-requirements > So, maybe we can take this approach: > > 1.

Looks like 24.1 stable should be releasing May-June: https://docs.mesa3d.org/release-calendar.html This approach sounds fine to me. I don't mind holding back the NVK-related changes for more testing and improvement. >>> I also tried a couple of different options.

I put you as co-author, even though it was just the hash basically, you did save me having to do that. Once this is on mesa-updates, you can base your patches on that (bunch of other updates too) and it can live on that branch in prep for 24.1. Thanks again! John

Closing this issue number, but thank you for the efforts so far for NVK. Happy to have patches for 24.1 on mesa-updates when you have them. John
