mesa stuck on 17.2.8

[onli]

Hi

A new mesa version would be important to me, I play quite often right now, also thanks to Steams Proton thing. I just stumbled over the news that the new version will contain game specific patches.

There was already a post in this forum some time ago that mesa should be update soon, but that did not seem to happen.

Or is there something wrong with my system?

you can use the version 1.20 of xorg-server, but mask the xorg-1.20.

release = 1.2

[kits]

xorg-kit = 1.20-release

i need newer version of mesa too, i just got a rx 580 and mesa 17.2.8 is too old.

Oh, so it's not my system that has a problem there? Thanks for the confirmation.

I just bought a RX 580, hope the update arrives before the card.

Thanks. I'm getting this error on an upgrade after this:

ERROR: Specified xorg-kit branch  1.20-release is missing! Is it included in this release? Exiting.

Do I have to run anything else instead of `ego sync`?

Edit: notized the error message looks like there is a tab or something before the version number, so I added the xorg-kit line again. Seems to have worked now, I will now upgrade the system. Let's see ?
