Why does newer build produce 26.0 instead of 26.1?

Why does the newer build produce 26.0 instead of 26.1?

Hi,

I noticed a difference between these two GitHub Actions runs:

• https://github.com/lfdevs/termux-packages/actions/runs/21934936577
• https://github.com/lfdevs/termux-packages/actions/runs/21906895407

The newer build produces version 26.0, while the older one resulted in 26.1.

Could you please explain what changed between these runs that caused the version to go down instead of up?

I’m trying to understand:

• What is the main difference between these two builds?
• Was there any change in versioning logic or configuration?
• Is this downgrade intentional or a bug?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

The build of that 26.0.0 version uses the stable Mesa source code, which is the version on this page: https://mesa3d.org/news/
In fact, I conducted the build of the 26.0 stable version here: #6 to test the build artifacts before submitting the PR (now merged) to the termux/termux-packages repository.
If you had a previous version of mesa installed, you should now be able to upgrade to this version by running pkg upgrade directly in Termux.

The build of version 26.1.0 (in this Draft PR) was built using the Mesa development source code (i.e., the main branch) before the stable 26.0.0 release, mainly to test the latest features from the upstream Mesa source. This can also be understood as a "super beta version."

For version-related explanations, you can also refer to the Mesa Release Calendar: https://docs.mesa3d.org/release-calendar.html

I should have provided an explanation in that PR at the time to avoid confusion. In the future, I will add a -devel suffix to the version numbers of the development builds to make them easier to distinguish.

Which build do you currently recommend for use on the Snapdragon 8 Elite?

Just install the stable version of mesa and mesa-vulkan-icd-freedreno directly in Termux, as it also includes the support patches for Adreno 830 and facilitates subsequent upgrades.
