Comment 2 Ross Burton 2014-07-09 12:17:06 UTC
Kernel upgrade is in the hands of the kernel team.  I've mailed Bruce to understand their plans.

Other than that, the packages that need upgrading:
- Mesa
- xf86-video-intel
- libdrm
- intel-gpu-tools (typo in my comment, we have 1.5)
- libva
- vaapi-intel-driver

Mesa through to intel-gpu-tools can be tested by booting a test image on a NUC and running piglit.  libva/vaapi-intel-driver is slightly trickier and will need some manual gstreamer testing.

(yes, we need to automate this)
Comment 3 Ross Burton 2014-07-09 13:02:20 UTC
For 1.7 we'll be supporting the LTSI kernel, so 3.14.  We should investigate if there's actually a requirement on Linux 3.15, and if so can we backport the patches to LTSI.
Comment 4 Ross Burton 2014-07-14 15:17:56 UTC
xf86-video-intel patches sent.
Comment 5 Ross Burton 2014-07-16 22:50:29 UTC
And there's a libdrm patch on the list.
Comment 6 Ross Burton 2014-07-21 10:45:08 UTC
Down to:

- Mesa
- intel-gpu-tools
- libva
- vaapi-intel-driver
Comment 7 Ross Burton 2014-09-18 15:27:23 UTC
The updated VA-API stack has landed in meta-intel so we're down to:

- Mesa
- intel-gpu-tools
Comment 8 Ross Burton 2014-10-15 21:54:02 UTC
Marking as obsolete, 1.7 is about to be released and for 1.8 we've the 2014Q3 release, bug 6805.
