Maybe, if something has to be tested. Everything is in Squashfs archives on Liveslak, and everything's current = probably updated next week. What the OP is doing will get him there.
Glxinfo is actually a poor test of Mesa. There was a stage when Nvidia cards gave hundreds of FPS and AMD's results were terrible by comparison. Their devs pointed out that glxinfo only uses a tiny number of OpengGL syscalls, and that nearly anything else is a better test. They could spend time on that just to massage the AMD numbers, but they never bothered.
