*If anyone needs lastest mesa (25.1) appear this info (sadly) for now

Quoting: oibaf;n1523057UPDATE: I backported newer spirv-tools in 24.10/oracular and 24.04/noble to fix build with newer mesa. And also newer spirv-headers needed for the updated spirv-tools.

Mesa in 24.04/noble is now built with llvm 19, which was recently added in Ubuntu 24.04 (previously it was using llvm 18). 24.10 and 25.04 were already using llvm 19.

Also, mesa packages are now providing code of mesa 25.0 branch, no more from main branch. If you need mesa main consider using a different PPA (and remember to disable this PPA before to avoid conflicts).

Also, for some reason, 25.04/plucky builds are currently broken, due to a rust compile issue. ==> EDIT: fixed using rust 1.83
with this for now only option for who needs lastest mesa is use ernst unstable ppa
