I raised this topic on Fedora's ML:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/P3CKVDMCQIVPJ2P55MLD4CDCVLYGBEPI/

Mesa 26.0.3 was released yesterday. Usually, once patch version 3 or 4 is released, we move it to Fedora's stable branches:

  • Fedora 43: Fedora 44 is planned for April 14th. I'd appreciate feedback, but I think that sticking to v25.3.X is the best option for Fedora 43.
  • Fedora 44: This time, the upstream release matched the period between Beta and the final release.

It looks like there is general agreement about bringing mesa 26.0.x to Fedora 44. Stephen Gallagher suggested to create a ticket for further discussion.

I think this makes sense to do. I think separately we should discuss adding Mesa to the exception list since it is required for hardware enablement. But that can be a different ticket.

For this one, I'll vote +1.

I've also tagged it for fast track so it can be voted on and executed before final freeze.

Metadata Update from @ngompa:
- Issue set to the milestone: Fedora Linux 44
- Issue tagged with: fast track

Not really for further discussion, but for getting an agreement recorded.

I'm +1 to landing 26.x in Fedora 44.

I really feel that in the future, we should try to land by Beta Freeze, even if we're carrying a pre-release version.

+1 to what Neal and Stephen said and +1 to landing in f44 asap.

+1

+1, FastTrack+1 and PermExc+1
