My suggestion would be to package only OpenCL headers (Khronos version) and eventually discuss addition of Cuda if it becomes easier to maintain in a rolling release distribution. The new "khronos-opencl-headers" package could be added as optional dependencies for nvidia-utils which will also include a "provides=('libCL')"[6]. I tested this solution on several codes and it works well. It also seems that Debian is going to do something very similar[7].
So what do other people think about this problem ?
Stéphane
imo khronos-opencl-headers is not a good name for our package. can we have opencl-headers or nvidia-opencl-headers if the headers for the opensource drivers are not compatible with them?
Since headers from both sources are almost the same (modulo some comments), it does not matter which one we choose. Following your suggestion, I uploaded an nvidia-opencl-headers package on AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42430
This may not be the final package, but it is probably easier to discuss around something concrete :-)
Stéphane
If there is no objection, I will upload the new package tomorrow.
Ionuț : Would it be possible to add opencl in the provides line of nvidia- utils please? This will close FS#20558.
Thanks,
Stéphane
the bug suggest to use libcl. we are settle to use opencl from know own and nvidia-opencl-headers as optional dependency? -- Ionuț
