Should we start to upload all possible rocm 6.4.x into sid ?
Any objection if i start to do this for all package building in sid ?
At almost any other time, I'd say to go for it. I'm happy to see
packages updated in sid whenever they're ready.
Right now, though, I suggest waiting just a little bit longer. LLVM 21
is now on unstable (whereas the LLVM 20 package that we're using on
experimental is being removed from Debian [1]). I will upload rocm-llvm
7.0.1 today based on LLVM 21.
We'd have to wait for rocm-device-libs-21 to go through NEW, but we can
then upload rocm-llvm to unstable, update pkg-rocm-tools with the new
build targets for unstable (to match the current build targets on
experimental), and upload each of the ROCm libraries to unstable
one-by-one over the following week or so.
If you'd like to start uploading before replacing the compiler, it won't
cause any problems, but we will need to upload them a second time (or
binNMU) in order to enable builds for gfx942, gfx1200, and gfx1201.
Was also wondering if there is a sequencing to do this.
I'd recommend starting at the bottom and moving up.
I see for example that rocprim was queued from experimental src
https://ci.rocm.debian.net/packages/r/rocprim/
Is the idea to wait that most test are green before uploading, but it
seems that test are not run for package in experimental, or to push in
unstable?
The tests for packages in experimental are run. The user interface is
just a bit confusing. The results for experimental are displayed on the
page for unstable.
Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
