[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#762943: opencl-headers: New upstream version available (2.0)

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: opencl-headers
Version: 1.2-2014.04.13-1.1
Severity: normal

  Hi,

  OpenCL 2.0 are available from Khronos website for a few months.
Two days ago, AMD released its OpenCL 2.0 driver:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/OpenCL2-Driver.aspx

  With this software, we (ocl-icd developpers) have been able to reverse
engeenering the order of the new 2.0 functions in the dispatch table.
So, ocl-icd will release a new version in a few minutes that supports
OpenCL ICDs up to 2.0 version.
  We want to package this new version of ocl-icd in Debian before the
freeze. But, in order to compile it, we need OpenCL *2.0* headers.

  Do you plan to update opencl-headers quickly? Do you want I help
you to prepare a new version?
  Or do you want to keep 1.2 headers in Jessie? In the latter case,
I will just include OpenCL 2.0 headers in the ocl-icd source package
in order to be able to compile it.

  So, just tell me what you plan to do for Jessie and I will adapt
myself wrt ocl-icd.

  Regards,
    Vincent
