I’m assuming we want to stay with the LTS runtime. @smcv, is that right?

der-eismann commented 10 months ago

It would be new to me that any of the freedesktop SDK versions are LTS. What exactly do you mean?

smcv commented 10 months ago

@der-eismann, thanks for the reminder to look at this.

I’m assuming we want to stay with the LTS runtime. @smcv, is that right?

There's no particular difference between the runtimes, other than 1 year of newer libraries. They all have the same support lifetime: this is not like Ubuntu where 22.04 has a longer support lifetime than 23.04.

I think the best thing we can do for users is to migrate to the new runtime, to avoid a situation where Steam Link might be the only thing that is still pulling in the old one.

However, instead of accepting this PR as-is, I think we should ideally migrate Valve-internal infrastructure to build new Steam Link proprietary binaries in a 23.08-based container (I can look at providing that container today), build a new set of binaries in that environment, and then test an update that makes two changes simultaneously: switches the proprietary binaries to the new version, and switches the runtime to 23.08. I think that's what we did for the 21.08 -> 22.08 transition.
