Mesa 17.0.x stable release

[Timo Aaltonen]

[Impact]

Mesa stable release for zesty & backport to xenial. Xenial needs newer libdrm from zesty. These are part of the hwe-16.04 stack refresh.

[Test case]

Install, run desktop session, test xonotic.

the important hw drivers to test:
- i965 (Intel)
- radeonsi (AMD)

[Regression potential]

Spec compliance test suites are already run by Intel and others, so feature regressions should not be possible. GLESv1 support has been dropped from the packaging though, but packages that depend on libgles1-mesa have been pushed to proposed to drop the dependency, see bug 1676845 (applies to xenial).

17.0.x has been available for xenial and yakkety users for a while, and so far no-one has complained about driver regressions.

tested to be fine on Intel Kabylake GT3 and AMD R7 260X (Bonaire)

As part of a recent change in the Stable Release Update verification policy we would like to inform that for a bug to be considered verified for a given release a verification-done-$RELEASE tag needs to be added to the bug where $RELEASE is the name of the series the package that was tested (e.g. verification-done-xenial). Please note that the global 'verification-done' tag can no longer be used for this purpose.

Thank you!

I ran this update on my Intel Haswell i7-4700MQ laptop. Tested it with a normal desktop session and didn't encounter any graphics related issues.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

marked as verified

also worth noting is that this version is already in xenial as part of the HWE stack update

[Bart Willemsen (b-willemsen8)]

Thanks, I hope it can be rolled out soon since this release fixes a bug that affected me :)
