Re: 5.7 Release Plan / Timeline?

[Cordell Bloor <cgmb@slerp.xyz>]

Hi folks,

When Ubuntu 22.04 released, it took AMD six months to add support for 
that platform to ROCm. With Ubuntu 24.04 coming up, there is an 
opportunity for the work done by Debian to stand out.

If we're able to update rocm-hipamd to ROCm 5.7 and finish packaging 
pytorch-rocm by Februrary of next year, I think we will really turn some 
heads. It would be the first release in which the OS-provided packages 
and the AMD official packages are both available on the same system for 
direct comparison.

I'm not sure if that timeline is achievable, but it's worth a try.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
