Looking for mesa [pkg-upd] 23.1.5 on gitlab so can recompile mesa.
Had to downgrade to mesa 23.0.4-1 to add support for:
-D video-codecs=vc1dec,h264dec,h264enc,h265dec,h265enc \
Can we get mesa [pkg-upd] 23.1.5 on gitlab?
Wrong branch. 
Tried downloading from the parent branch, editing PKGBUILD with the -D video-codecs=vc1dec,h264dec,h264enc,h265dec,h265enc \ modification. Compilation was successful. But installing the compiled mesa drivers did not provide support for the required codecs.
Looking here…
Don’t add the backslash. Notice the Meson options are in they’re own local meson_options=() array.
Note that I’ve moved the discussion to it’s own Support topic.
For build tools:
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel git bison byacc polly flex --needed
Clone
git clone https://github.com/mesa-freeworld/mesa-nonfree.git
Sync dependencies, and build
$ cd mesa-nonfree
$ makepkg --syncdeps
Install built files as root
# pacman -U *

Technically you can use the PKGBUILD from https://github.com/mesa-freeeworld/mesa-nonfree.
Don’t clone the repo - the docs folder contains the packages used for the https://nonfree.eu repo.
Simply copy the PKGBILD into a folder of your choice - then cd into the folder and run makepkg -is
If you would like to skip building you can use directions found at https://nonfree.eu
Followed instructions here for https://nonfree.eu
No luck

Attempted to make this response, but could not even see your post.
So had to downgrade mesa before being able to make this post:

Now element-desktop does not display correctly.
I don’t even know what that is …
From what I could look up in a jiffy - it seems the GPU was first manufactured a long time ago.
I wouldn’t expect such GPU to support the same as more recent GPUs.
So what you are trying to achieve may not be possible - at least not if the GPU is no longer supported - for whatever you are doing.
The gpu AMD R300 appears to be EOL - judging from the AMD web where it is not possible to locate drivers for it - this makes it even harder for you.
After re-booting, element-desktop displays correctly.
So the older display drivers work!

the repo is gone?
Appears any graphics card with OpenGL < 3.3 will not have support going forward.
