I'm using buildroot 2013.08-rc2 and ran across an error on compile where MesaLib-7.10.3 can't be found.  Looking at the sources.buildroot.net server, 7.10.1 exists but not 7.10.3.  Output is below.

Should 7.10.3 be in the repository or is the buildroot source wrong?

The sources.buildroot.net mirror is updated only when a Buildroot
release is made. The last stable release is currently 2013.05, which
was using MesaLib 7.10.1, which explains why it is available from our
mirror.

The bump to 7.10.3 was done by commit
53cea4462c67a6707bf8dad83fa928262e44fce9 in June 2013, i.e after the
2013.05 release. Since the 2013.08 release hasn't been made yet, I
believe Peter has not updated the Buildroot mirror, and therefore it
doesn't contain for the moment all the new versions of the tarballs
that have been upgraded since 2013.05.

But normally, Buildroot uses the upstream location first. It doesn't
work MesaLib ? The Buildroot mirror is normally here for "old" versions
of Buildroot, where the upstream location might have changed or
disappeared.

Best regards,

Thomas

Indeed not:

$ git show 2013.05:package/x11r7/mesa3d/mesa3d.mk | grep VERSION
MESA3D_VERSION = 7.10.3
MESA3D_SOURCE = MesaLib-$(MESA3D_VERSION).tar.gz
MESA3D_SITE = ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/$(MESA3D_VERSION)
$

But the sources on ftp.freedesktop.org have been moved from pub/mesa/7.10.3/
topub/mesa/old_versions/7.x/7.10.3/, apparently around Aug 12th, 2013.
This is unfortunately a recurring bad habit.:(

Has anybody here ever asked the freedesktop guys to refrain from moving
files around?

Apparently this was not done for 2013.05, or it didn't work for mesa3d.
Peter, any idea? Otherwise, can you force the download now to fix this?

Anyway, 7.10.3 that is a pretty old release (~2 years old), there are 
many more
recent ones. Ryan, you may try to bump version. Releases since 8.0 are 
in the
"standard" download directory at ftp.freedesktop.org.

Or, for a quick workaround, you may just change the URL in
package/x11r7/mesa3d/mesa3d.mk.

Doh, you're right. The commit was from June 2012, not June 2013! So
indeed 2013.05 already pointed to 7.10.3. Sorry for the confusion :-(

So indeed, there's something wrong going on with how the mirror is
updated. We've had 7.10.3 since almost a year and it's not in our
mirror.

I don't think we ever did that for Mesa.

Note that Spenser Gilliland is currently reworking the Mesa package
quite significantly. In the recently posted "[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/6]
mesa3d: reorganize, modularize, and bump to version 9.1.6", he bumped
Mesa to a recent version.

Can you cook a patch for mesa3d.mk to fix this for the 2013.08 release
(since Spenser patch will not be part of 2013.08) ?

Thanks!

Actually I update it once a week (wednesdays), but it seems like
allyespackageconfig doesn't pick up the modular X11 parts (E.G. mesa).

I've now added them manually.
