I need to pick up the latest Mesa to get Intel drivers that support the Vulkan extension VK_EXT_descriptor_buffer.

How do I do that with Fedora Silverblue?

Presumably I’m going to need something from copr. Presumably this:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/che/mesa/

However, the directions are all for dnf. I probably need something which I can use with rpm-ostree, no?

Thanks.

Hi, the instructions should also work on Silverblue. You can manually download and create all the repository files in /etc/yum.repos.d, as rpm-ostree uses that directory just like dnf does. Is there any specific issue?

Hmm, adding those repos did seem to do something. However, I’m currently caught trying to get some other things working.

I’ll post more once I can validate whether this worked.
