Bug#1111848: Update hipcc to version >=6.0 in forky repos



Dear Cory!

Sorry, it took me so long to reply!

In the meantime I was able to try out your changes in Blender 5.0.0 and Blender 5.0.1. Thanks to your effort, it now works flawlessly in Debian Testing!

Thank you very, very much!

Best regards

Marcel

Dear Cory!

Thank you very much for your effort — and also thanks to the LLVM and ROCm teams for their great work!

Once I find the time, I’ll look into the dependency tree to see whether I can safely install hipcc from unstable.
Previously, I used a mixed system before the latest stable release, but have since switched to a clean Forky installation.

Thanks again — I’ll keep you posted!

Best regards,

Best

Marcel

Sorry Marcel. I spoke too soon.

There are a couple serious bugs blocking the transition of clang-21 to
Forky and they will inherently block the transition of hipcc from Sid to
Forky. While I can easily fix the issues blocking the various ROCm 6
components themselves, I don't think I can fix the llvm-toolchain-21
issues. The compiler is itself a complex beast and the release-critical
bugs that are open on it are beyond my realm of experience.

The efforts of the Debian ROCm Team are insufficient to migrate hipcc
and libamdhip64-dev to Forky, so unfortunately I don't know exactly how
long it will take. I cannot speak for the Debian LLVM Team and I
wouldn't want to pressure them given the amazing work that they do.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
