Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] Migrate (non-Nvidia) OpenCL providers to virtual/opencl-3
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2020 15:28:37
Message-Id: 20200408152814.5671-1-marecki@gentoo.org
1 Now that we have got two OpenCL ICD loaders in the tree, that
2 starting with version 3, virtual/opencl will only pull an ICD loader
3 rather than any specific implementation, and that we are in the process
4 of following the footsteps of OpenGL in migrating away from using
5 eselect to switch between OpenCL implementations in favour of always
6 going through a loader, update implementations accordingly.
7 Specifically: depend on >=virtual/opencl-3 rather than on any specific
8 ICD loader, and make sure even implementations which previously ran
9 standalone use one.

11 Note that while the same should be done for x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers,
12 all the ebuilds there are marked stable so they will have to be handled
13 with more care.

15 Maintainers whose sign-off is needed: candrews for ROCm, zerochaos for
16 intel-ocl-sdk, the X11 project for Mesa.
