  Description     : Legacy DRI modules and vendor libraries


Mesa 22.0 drops non-gallium DRI modules, so 21.3-branch will be made a LTS branch for
legacy hardware.

I second this. Intel Gen 2 (Extreme Graphics) for example are now
without hardware OpenGL.

Also see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034571 --
The Gallium implementation for Intel (Crocus) does not have the same
stability as the old i915 driver yet, in my opinion.

Hi,

I second this too as I use a i5 3230m as main computer.
I don't see mesa-amber in NEW, was it rejected with some reason ?

Hello Timo,
In 2023 Simon marked this ITP bug as having been 'forwarded' to the NEW queue. However, there hasn't been any status update on this bug about Mesa Amber packaging and it's not clear what remains. I assume FTP Master must've rejected the package but it's not clear why.
I see at https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/lib/mesa-amber you made some updates to the package several months ago, including fixing the debian/copyright file. Are you still taking charge of uploading Mesa Amber? Is there anything you could use help with?

Thanks
