Libdrm: time to upgrade it?

Hi all.

When I've recompiled mesa-xgl-cvs ( simply a cvs version of mesa libraries ), I've found this error, with program that have used it:

undefined symbol drmCloseOnce

I've found that is a know problem; mesa-cvs don't compile modules that have the function drmcloseonce, because this is implemented on libdrm 2.3.0 ( see this for more information; https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8859 ).

Finally, I just upgrade libdrm to 2.3.0 and all worked without problem.

My question is:

libdrm will be updated soon?
If not, I'm put in my repo a 2.3 version, and make it dep of mesa-xgl-cvs.

Thank you!

Re: Libdrm: time to upgrade it?

The package is flagged out of date.

Since you are providing xgl, i would add libdrm to the repo and set the dependency.

It is a way to telling to the users that they need another version of libdrm without the need of getting into the forum.
