Dear maintainers. Currently offscreen rendering using OSMesa doesn't work with proprietary drivers (mostly Nvidia). Additionally some Ubuntu and Mint packages for OSMesa are broken. See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44478 Should we thus mark OSMesa experimental and disable it per default for the 4.2 release? See also: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44979 which is currently an entry on the 4.2.0 Bug Fix List. One problem would then be to build the documentation which would require visible figures or using gnuplot. -- Andy
