MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mesa-steamos [2]: This package doesn't make sense to have.
Name suggests it duplicates SteamOS package, but maintainer actually tries (and fails) to duplicate the Steam Deck version of the package. Which is not the same, given that Steam Deck gets periodical batches of upgrades, not minute-by-minute rolling updates as on Arch. Current package version is '22.2.0.157821.radeonsi_3.4.0_2'. But the commit message for this update says "Update to SteamOS 3.4.6". Well, as per Valve's release announcement, Steam Deck 3.4.6 has Mesa 23.1. [a] @LukeShortCloud, please don't confuse SteamOS per se with Steam Deck when it comes to package naming. Steam Deck has a different release cadence than main SteamOS. If you want to maintain packages for Steam Deck, use the '-steamdeck' suffix in package name. Even then, don't duplicate alredy existing Steam Deck / SteamOS packages for no reason. Thank you.
