Description Aidan Harris 2020-02-09 15:29:18 UTC 
Mesa has had zink since 19.3.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2020-02-09 21:04:32 UTC 
I don't think there's value in shipping this to users yet.
Comment 2 tt_1 2020-02-23 17:02:41 UTC 
why not merging this into mesa-9999 for testing?
Comment 3 mercuriete 2020-06-18 11:36:11 UTC 
Zink have reached OpenGL 3.0 today...

I think for testing purposes it would be nice to have zink.

The more users zink have the more bugs we can encounter and report.


Thanks for your amazing work. :)

Hello. The github pull request #14605 is outdated. I suggest to close it and move to #16309 which is being regularly updated. If you believe it would good to add a new use flag, which #16309 doesn't introduce, please post the suggestion here or to #16309. Thanks.
Comment 5 Jan Ziak (atomsymbol) 2020-07-22 22:59:52 UTC 
github pull request #16309 has been updated to Mesa 20.1.4.
Comment 6 Jan Ziak (atomsymbol) 2020-07-26 14:52:36 UTC 
github pull request #16309 has been updated to add the zink use flag. The flag is disabled by default.
Comment 7 Jan Ziak (atomsymbol) 2020-08-11 17:07:38 UTC 
github pull request #16309 added media-libs/vulkan-loader to RDEPEND.

vulkan-loader isn't supported on alpha and sparc. Maybe this should be filed as a new Gentoo bug.
