[Eadwine Rose]

My stable is wanting to upgrade from 3.0.8-0+deb9u1 to 3.0.8-2mx17+2

[zorzi]

I've upgraded to 3.0.8-2mx17+2. Everything seems to work, but I don't get the point of providing a VLC MX package, since VLC Debian package does the job.

[Stevo]

Uhm.. they appear in main all of a sudden?

Check my post right above yours--that's what I said we were going to do, since Debian's version did indeed break our cool hardware acceleration feature. That's because it was built against Stretch's stock Mesa 13.0.6 libraries and libva instead of the newer versions in MX 17/18 main.

[Stevo]

I've upgraded to 3.0.8-2mx17+2. Everything seems to work, but I don't get the point of providing a VLC MX package, since VLC Debian package does the job.

Debian's version breaks VLC's hardware-accelerated video decoding on MX, which is pretty important to many users. I take care not to break it with our builds.

[Eadwine Rose]

Owwwhhhh...

yeah I kinda missed that little detail


I am left with two autoremovables, libva-drm1 and libva-wayland1, both 1.7.3-2
Are those safe to remove, or? Always a bit wary about those.

[Stevo]

Yes, they are older versions of those from Stretch that the Debian 3.0.8 pulled in. We have newer versions in our MX repo that our VLC is using.

[Eadwine Rose]

Just loaded the test repo but those two do not show as upgradable. Do they go by a different package name?
