Hey, I’m waiting for mesa 25.0.5 to hit fedora 42 since I’m one of the 0.1% of people with a RX 9070 XT and Linux in the world.

what are the usual delays between mesa release and inclusion in Fedora?
what are the considerations that usually take place? in this case it is “just” a bugfix release. is there a fixed timeline for updates like that?

thx

You can see what has been built on this page mesa | Package Info | koji
I do not see the 25.0.5 there yet.

I would expect mesa releases to be built soon after upstream release.
After testing they go into the update steam.

You can install from the fedora testing repo soon after the build is done and not wait for it to hit fedora updates repo.

Interestingly though, mesa-25.1.0-1.fc43 seems to be there. How would I install that, without waiting for it to hit fedora updates repo?

Keep in mind this can break your system:

sudo dnf upgrade mesa\* --releasever=43
