Comment 40 for bug 980017

I am currently waiting for any sort of response from the packagers. It's been weeks since the exact fix necessary was identified and yet nothing has happened from the Ubuntu side. The patch in question was pulled onto mesa's 8.0 branch as 93e94cbb48. The release should have never gone out with such a blatant and easily fixed bug. Moreover, it's quite embarrassing that we are still struggling to get a fix out.

I am currently running mesa built directly from the 8.0 branch. Perhaps I can try building a package to push up to a PPA in lieu of any action from the packagers. Unfortunately, this probably won't happen until tomorrow.
