Re: Porting ROCm to non-x86
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for this. Speaking of the currently uploaded ROCm packages, like roct-thunk-interface
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=roct%2dthunk%2dinterface ;,
there is actually no restriction on which architectures the source should be built.
Namely, as long as a source is built successfully, it will be included in archive automatically.
So patches porting to any architecture will also be automatically used in Debian.
Currently the first break point on the dependency tree is rocr-runtime,
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=rocr-runtime
which only build on amd64.
