Unable to update mesa from copr

Project Discussion

I started with adding the gloriouseggroll/ mesa-aco repo file.
rpm-ostree update --preview immediatly shows the available upgrades.
rpm-ostree update afterwards lists 0 available upgrades.

As mesa is part of the base image, you probably need to use:

$ rpm-ostree override replace <pkgs>

As aco is part of mesa, and enabled by default, you might consider not using a patched driver.

Unfortunatly replace with copr/repo/remote packages is not supported yet. As mesa is built up of many packages and the copr is fairly close to upstream (updated every few days) the replace with local packages isn’t optimal.

The repository includes patches (in addition to ACO) and is fairly close to upstream which is required for some modern games. It also allows me to test upstream mesa with a clean base image to provide test/issue feedback.

My bad, I thought this wasn’t based on master.

With the upcoming launch of AMD CPUs and GPUs this feature will be essential to some. If it’s not possible with existing options can we come up with a workaround?

I’m missing an API to get the latest rpm of an copr to do it without a toolbox.

toolbox enter-> dnf download -> exit -> rpm-ostree override replace latest_local.rpm would be an option.

You could run commands in a toolbox directly with toolbox run to download the RPMs from the COPR and then rpm-ostree override replace *.rpm.

Or also download them directly from the copr (or koji, for future references in other cases)
