[RHEL] Mesa with removed codecs (h264, h265, vc1) #121

Open cyqsimon opened 10 months ago

Please describe why this package is not eligible for Fedora ? Same as #110. See also this reddit post.

Is this software redistributable ? Yes.

Is this software an alternate version of a Fedora provided package ? Yes.

Additional context

It seems like the retroactive removal applies to all supported versions of RHEL (7-9), not just RHEL9.
mesa-dri-drivers (still used in RHEL7-9) is the old package name for mesa-va-drivers (used in Fedora). The package contents are unchanged.

We can easily complement this package or we would need to fully replace mesa-dri-drivers.

Use Fedora for desktop !

kwizart commented 9 months ago

re-open since the implementation detail doesn't remove the need.

For context, there are plenty of legitimate uses for hardware accelerated graphics on a server. The one that prompted me to submit this issue is decoding camera streams in Frigate NVR. The application is containerised, but I think it still needs support from Mesa installed on host.

kwizart commented 9 months ago

use fedora on such servers.

Or via containers.. some times ago I've tried to maintain https://hub.docker.com/r/rpmfusion/ffmpeg But it won't have newer mesa-freeworld counterparts...
