26 +# Deprecated upstream in Q1'2018 in favour of dev-libs/intel-neo and
27 +# while it officially remains the recommended solution for "legacy HW
28 +# platforms" not supported by NEO (i.e. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and
29 +# Haswell GPUs), there has been no repository activity since August 2018.
30 +# Only really suitable for code development due to poor performance, some
31 +# OpenCL-aware software (e.g. media-gfx/darktable) explicitly
32 +# blacklists Beignet devices.
33 +# Upstream does not support LLVM versions newer than 7, third-party patches
34 +# exist for 8 and 9 but Beignet built against those versions fails some
35 +# unit tests.
36 +#
37 +# Removal in 30 days. Bug #710640.
