Hi debian-backports team, I've been working on a backport of Mesa 25.3.3 for trixie-backports. I= =E2=80=99m looking for some feedback or a sponsor to help get this uploaded= . I noticed that the discussion in bug #1132617 has been leaning towards the = 26.0.x series, but I thought 25.3.3 might be a safer, lower-risk intermedia= te step. It includes the important CVE-2026-40393 fixes and brings in some = much-needed improvements for newer hardware. I've kept the changes as minimal as possible, mainly sticking to `debian/` = modifications: - Adjusted LLVM (21 =E2=86=92 19) and `spirv-tools` to match Trixie's sta= ck. - Relaxed some dependencies (libdrm-dev, DirectX-Headers). - Disabled the native D3D12 driver since it's not used on Linux. - Included a few necessary patches (meson scope fix and the CVE fixes). I've already tested this on real hardware (Intel Arc B580) and it's running= stably with Vulkan 1.4.309 and OpenGL 4.6. You can find the debdiff here (https://stornic56hub.duckdns.org/git/stornic= 56/mesa-debian/raw/branch/main/debdiffs/mesa-v25.3.3/mesa_25.3.3-1~bpo13+1.= debdiff). Since it's about 10MB (due to the new source files for the CVE pa= tches), I've also hosted it in my repository (https://stornic56hub.duckdns.= org/git/stornic56/mesa-debian/releases/tag/v25.3.3) for easier access. I'm happy to help with the maintenance or updates as new releases come out.= Let me know if this approach makes sense to you or if you'd like me to adj= ust anything. Thanks for all the work you do on backports! Best regards, stornic56
