I was in a flow yesterday and updated these, and rocfft/hipfft without
checking whether something else exists, assuming it would be in the main
repo.
Now I saw that you worked on rocblas (in the main repo), so I started to
look for clues, and found that you had worked on these in personal repos.
I hope I didn't duplicate too much work on rocsparse/hipsparse, and I'm
sorry that I didn't merge the work that you had already done.

Quite a bit depends on rocblas so perhaps the changes that you did for
6.1 should be merged into master? I think we need to get at least the
SOVER bump out of the way, fast.
On my end, the updates of rocsparse, hipsparse, rocfft and hipfft
yesterday consisted of
- an uneventful 30min-work part (updating the package following the
steps done for rocrand, hiprand, rocprim)
- a few hours working around bugs, and updating patches.
I'm sure this would have been far less if we had tracked releases more
closely, due to smaller deltas. We should keep that in mind for future
releases.
By the way, rocm-docs-core worked really straightforward. All docs need
two patches, but they are straightforward and can be copy-pasted.
Best,
Christian
