libva-1.8.2 libva-utils-1.8.2 intel-vaapi-driver-1.8.2

[Armin K]

libva-1.8.0 has split its programs into libva-utils. Might be a candidate for adding to the book, but I'm not sure what would use it (besides vainfo, for verifying the install)

There is now intel-vaapi-driver instead of libva-intel-driver:

libva-1.8.2 tarball seems corrupted for me:

libva-1.8.2 tarball has been fixed. Also, per comment in the issue, it could be wise to move to github for download location. Proper tarballs are available at

Thanks Armin. We've been moving the urls as we find about the moves.

  libva-utils
  Collection of tests to exercise VA-API as provided
  by the libva project.  VA-API requires a driver implementation
  to operate.

I do not think we need this.
