I just tried to build Mesa and Mesa-drivers for Leap 15.4, which fails
due to several reasons:

  1. Package "DirectX-headers" is missing - this can be resolved by
     adding another branched package Essentials/A_15.4-DirectX-headers
     which links to openSUSE.org:openSUSE:Factory/DirectX-headers.
  2. meson.build:1712:0: ERROR: Invalid version of dependency, need
     'libdrm' ['>=2.4.109'] found '2.4.107'.
  3. meson.build:1704:4: ERROR: Invalid version of dependency, need
     'libdrm_intel' ['>=2.4.110'] found '2.4.107'.

It might be possible to add further packages for 2. and 3., but I guess
that would be too much of a change in the Leap 15.4 graphics stack. This
will work properly for Leap 15.5 since packages there are newer than the
old cruft in 15.4

This is effectively needed to fix Mesa.spec:

  %if "%{flavor}" == "drivers"
  %if %{video_codecs}
  BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(x264)
  BuildRequires:  pkgconfig(x265)
  %endif
  %endif

I'll try to get that pushed into openSUSE.org:X11:Xorg/Mesa, which would
then fix our Essentials/A_tw-Mesa package.

Cheers.
