[Mesa-maintainers] Downstream Mesa patches and quirks

[Emil Velikov]

Hi all,

A humble reminder to forward any outstanding patches or hacks needed
to get your Mesa packages building.
I would kindly urge you to do so, even if your previous attempt did
not fare well or you the patch seems not applicable upstream.

Quick random look shows the following:
Fedora:
  - multiple patches, static libstdc++ workaround (Vivek had an
alternative here [1]

FreeBSD/DragonFly
 - multiple patches (GregV up-streamed a few things already), shebang
(no longer needed), glx-tls, sed/other hacks

PPAs
 - Based on really old Debian packaging, obsolete patches

openSuse
 - multiple "never to be upstreamed" patches, shipping exact same
binaries 4 times (split xvmc/vdpau/etc)

Thanks
Emil
