Question about mesa and swrast

Hi guys, I have a question about mesa. As some knows, I am working on my own Linux distribution. Recently I upgraded Mesa to the version 25.2.7. But I noticed the project dropped the gallium driver swrast. How can I install this driver now ? Because I need this video driver when I want to run plasma in VirtualBox.

Or is there any alternative ?

Solved ! I just find today the reason in this post: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=378320

Swrast is a deprecated alias for `gallium-drivers=softpipe,llvmpipe` and will be removed in version 25.0
