Dandel_I was wondering what it would take to request a backport of the quantinal ocl-icd-opencl-dev package to precise. I know that there is a few quantinal packages that are already in the precise repository.18:51
Dandel_i know that precise provides opencl-headers but there is no opencl library so this is a bit of an issue since developers on precise can't even compile opencl based programs due to missing library files.18:54

tjaaltonjust request a backport?19:29
Dandeltjaalton, that would work, but two to three driver packages need an update.19:30
Dandelalthough, the opencl-headers package really should install the icd lib at the bare minimum.19:31
Dandelafter all, both nvidia and fglrx provide icd files (the library finds them at /etc/OpenCL/vendors/ and this is finished by using alternatives )19:33
tjaaltonwhy do they need an update?19:33
Dandelthe client drivers ( nvidia and fglrx for example) should only rely on the libOpenCL.so file. Ubuntu provides this already as a basis. Although, x86_64 based installs cannot run 32-bit opencl programs. ( this is actually supported )19:36
