Title: CFT Mesa update to 10.6.3. Replyto set to: freebsd-x11@ CC current@ and stable@ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone! (Please respect Reply to header (freebsd-x11@); freebsd-current@ and freebsd-stable@ were only added to reach a wider audience.) Now that FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE is no longer supported, we are ready to publish an update to Mesa 10.6.3 and moreover commit several improvements to the ports themselves. If you want to help us, please apply the below patch, and test it on your hardware. We look for success and failure reports. Also non-x86 hardware reports are very welcome since we changed the framework quite a bit. Download the patch: http://people.freebsd.org/~kwm/mesa-10.6.3.diff Apply it to your ports: cd /usr/ports patch -E -p1 < /path/to/the/patch/mesa-10.6.3.diff The major change is that all Mesa ports are configured the same way. This fixes several problems and enables new features. This is detailed in the following blog post: http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2015/03/18/unifying-mesa-ports-configure/ The second important change is the OpenCL support. Mesa's implementation, Clover, is enabled as well as Beignet. The former targets all Gallium drivers - only Radeon GPUs in our case - and the latter targets Intel GPUs, starting with Ivy Bridge. Thanks to Johannes Dieterich, O. Hartman and Koop Mast for their work on OpenCL! As a bonus, there are several OpenCL-based math ports included in the patch. For more information and known issues, please see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/OpenCL The third change is the removal of Mesa 9.1.7 which was installed on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE. There is now only one version of Mesa in the Ports tree (10.6.x) for all supported versions of FreeBSD. Other smaller changes: * Include libosmesa into the Mesa framework; this changes libOSMesa shlib version. * bsd.mesalib.mk was renamed and split up in two files namely Makefile.common and Makefile.targets. So ports can overwrite variables set by Makefile.common and are used by Makefile.targets. * Some text in the pkg-descr files was wrong, clean it up. While here, update the WWW to the main mesa3d.org upstream page.
