[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#795778: khronos-opencl-headers: provide missing C++ bindings header file

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Source: khronos-opencl-headers
Version: 2.0~svn28973-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since the update of the Khronos OpenCL headers to version 2.0 in Debian, 
the header file providing the C++ bindings (cl.hpp) has gone missing. 
It seems that upstream re-introduced them via a new header file (cl2.hpp) [1].

A few scientific packages that I maintain depends on the availability of 
this C++ header in order to build successfully. These packages build fine on 
jessie (which has OpenCL version 1.2) but have been failing on stretch / sid 
so far.

It would be nice to have the headers updated as soon as possible so that 
Debian again provides cl2.hpp. Thia would allow me to resume my packaging 
efforts as well.

Best regards,
Ghislain
