Description Adrien Guichard 2020-04-03 10:26:54 CEST
Mageia 7 support Vulkan, but does not provide compiler for Vulkan's shaders.

It would be wise to backport shaderc tools on Mageia 7 in order to be able to compile shaders.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi,
Thanks for requesting a backport to Mageia 7 for packages updated in Cauldron.

According to our current backports policy:
https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Backports_policy

- Package maintainers are under no obligation to provide backports for the packages they maintain (whereas a maintainer should provide updates to the stable releases for packages he/she maintains).
- Another packager can step in and provide backports provided he contacts maintainer about this. He must then keep the maintainer informed when working on it.
- The maintainer can refuse that some packages be backported. If hard conflicts arise (eg. the maintainer vs all other packagers), we can refer to the council.
- Packager (maintainer or not) who will submit backport will also have to provide security and bug updates if necessary.

Packager/Maintainer: If you are working on this backport request, please change status to "Assigned". Feel free to Close this if you think it is against current Backports policy.

Reporter: Your request is under investigations.
In the meantime, we suggest look for Appimage or Flatpak version of this.

I had forgotten, but yeah it's something I can do.

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2021-01-26 12:21:52 CET
At this point I probably won't do it as Mageia 8 is just around the corner, and packaging shaderc would require significant update work for the Vulkan SDK provided with Mageia 7, which is outdated.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
Status: ASSIGNED => RESOLVED
