[packman] AMD Radeon 600 series, Leap 15.4, VLC DVD player

[Steven Swart]

Good day, Masaru, and Packmans!

On Sunday, I managed to successfully build the Mesa drivers from the src
RPMs for Leap 15.4. I haven't done extensive testing, but the new Leap
drivers don't seem to have broken anything after I installed them.

It's now around 10:30am here in South Africa. I have pulled an all-nighter
writing up my HOWTO. I have been busy with it, on and off, since about
midnight. I am in the final stages of that now.

I was busy running a spelling and grammar check on my document, when I
started having problems with my Mac. I am on an enforced break right now.
It's not a serious issue, it should be max half an hour before my Mac is
usable again. I have had this issue before.

After the spelling / grammar check, I still need to proofread it.

I hope to complete work on that soon. I will let you all know when it's
done.

For me, for the purposes of my HOWTO and building custom drivers, it's not
an issue if the Mesa drivers are missing from the repos, unless the src
RPMs are also missing. That would throw a big spanner in the works!

My HOWTO contains instructions for building custom drivers for both Leap
15.4 and Tumbleweed.

I have an appointment to keep this afternoon, and a few errands to run
after that, but my availability should be good for the rest of the day.

Kind regards,
Steven.
