Bug#720092: Please package ocl

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

Hi,

I looked again this problem. We can use the Mesa (Gallium) of X.org to
non-free except for libraries.
  http://www.x.org/wiki/GalliumStatus/
  http://www.x.org/wiki/XorgEVoC/GalliumCompute/

Is this right?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro

>> 2.4.6 (July 2013):
>> Binary compatiblility with both OpenCL 1.1/1.2 platforms. Now the

>> Please, consider packaging this module.

> I support the ocl module in opencv is difficult in Debian.

> When opencv is dependent on the OCL SDK if, opencv is in contrib section.
> Because I want to distribute opencv in the main section, I will not
