galaxy/mesa-git is heavily out of date. | Should it be packaged at all?

In the "galaxy" repository, there is the package galaxy/mesa-git. But this is outdated:

* Last update at 2025-03-02,
* version 25.0.0_devel.200442.bfa6b9b6551.d41d8cd-1.

I think no -git packages should be included in the repositories at all, or if, use auto-rebuild after each upstream commit (daily check), as the repository "chaotic-aur" does.

Regards!

It was put there to help people with random amdgpu-related crashes. As a rule, we don't provide -git packages and it will be removed.

I suppose you wanted to explicitly provide an older version; I also had those issues and it was some mesa version which caused this.

In that case, you should have named it like mesa-25.0.0 or similar: Specific version in the package name.

No, quite the opposite: provide the bleeding edge that might had fixed the issue.
But in that case it should stay continuously updated as long as present in the repository.

You're right, but the next mesa update fixed the amdgpu issues and it was forgotten, until you reminded me. It's now removed.
