Nice. And I recognice a recent committer there :-)

Are there any relevant changes, yet, compared to what we have in Debian?

What's the current version of the C headers? (the 2.0 ones as we have
them packaged; an official tag on the 2.0 bits would be nice, maybe for
1.x as well, branches for the different series would be nice, too )

We'll have to see how these different repos develop. Maybe a version like
  $OPENCLHEADERS+$CLHPP-$DEBIANREV
could be the right choice at some point ...


There is also OpenCL-ICD-Loader, but with a license dating back to the
time when this was closed internal source. Anyway, this makes the source
non-fee and non-redistributable. It even forbids forking on github!
