Updating ROCm to 6.2 and keeping it updated is what Jeremy and I are working on in Fedora and is what I am interested in doing in Debian. On top of that I would like to at least have the latest PyTorch+ROCm packaged. Ideally PyTorch would _just_ build, but it's been my experience it needs some love to get all of it work together.
It will take a bit of time to setup an packaging environment and I am going on vacation next week so give me 2-3 weeks and then I will be in with both feet.

That's great. I guess it should be generally beneficial if distros don't deviate too much from each other in their implementation, so it probably makes sense to follow some of Fedora's design decisions when we upgrade to 6.1.

Cory already shared some pointers, this thread could also be interesting [1].
Best,
