On a number of stable systems with a selection of different Northern Islands |
| 32 |
to Sea Islands APUs/GPUs, I have media-libs/mesa installed in as a dependency. |
| 33 |
Given the above message and noticing dev-libs/rocm-opencl-runtime is still in |
| 34 |
testing, am I meant to keyword it and install it manually, or will it replace |
| 35 |
mesa automagically some day in the future when marked as stable? |
