Hi all,

I recently got a new graphics card and am now enjoying a Radeon 7800XT after upgrading from my 5700XT.

I'm keen to move to the latest Mesa, but Manjaro Unstable (which I thought mirrored Arch very closely) is refusing to budge from Mesa 23.1.9

The reason being that 23.2 hasn't yet had a point-release.

I've tried mesa-git, found it to be quite buggy (not unexpected, it's 24.0-dev) so I went back to 23.1.9

Does anyone know of any way to get 23.2 or 23.3 going, since they've been officially released, but Manjaro rather arbitrarily decides this particular package update won't be included in the unstable branch?

(There are plenty of other packages in Unstable that don't have a point release either, so I would like some choice here, rather than stay on drivers that don't carry the full RTX improvements of later Mesa, which suddenly, on my new graphics card, I care about!)
