[Pkg-opencl-devel] Bug#1083134: python3-pyopencl: pyopencl creates and writes to cache even when PYOPENCL_NO_CACHE is set

[Hristo Venev]

Package: python3-pyopencl
Version: 2024.1-1+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: hristo at venev.name

Dear Maintainer,

The version of pyopencl currently shipped in Debian cannot be used
without writing to the filesystem. Even when the `PYOPENCL_NO_CACHE`
variable is set, a cache is created and written to (but not read from).
Providing a non-writable cache path results in a crash when creating an
OpenCL kernel.

This has been fixed upstream in
https://github.com/inducer/pyopencl/pull/736. Consdier updating pyopencl
to version 2024.2 or newer, or backporting the pull request.
