Maybe some of you already had the problem: mesa-freeworld from RPM-Fusion can be out of sync with the standard mesa packages.
Once this led to a black screen after reboot for me.
So, I decided to create a metapackage which pins the versions of all mesa dependencies to be compatible with mesa-freeworld.
I published a Copr Repo with it, in case others think it is useful.
If the issue can be solved this way, why doesn't RPMFusion offer a similar metapackage?
I really have no idea.
Also I have to admit that my approach is quite conservative.
\ Not every mesa update may be incompatible with the freeworld packages, but my package holds them back until RPMFusion published an update themselves.
