Description Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2015-03-27 23:48:03 UTC
Currently emerging pocl on an empty system tried to emerge it before ocl-icd, making eselect opencl fail.
Comment 1 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2015-03-27 23:58:16 UTC
Actually the pre-merge check fails if no opencl implementation is already present, probably that check should be relaxed.
Comment 2 Danny Robson 2015-06-24 15:21:49 UTC
It currently fails on pre-merge checks if ocl-id is not the current implementation. Even if other implementations are present.

If ocl-id is not present, pocl's pre-merge check for ocl-id as the current OpenCL provider fails as it is about to be brought in as a dependency of pocl.

Patrick, are you actually maintaining this?
Comment 4 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2016-09-24 16:21:29 UTC
So, the package abuses pkg_pretend() by making it require eselect-opencl and ocl-icd being installed. Which means people even can't start installing it without merging the dependencies manually first, and is a major QA violation.

The maintainer doesn't reply to the bugs for half a year. As far as I'm concerned, this package is unmaintained and of terribly quality. Having no reverse dependencies, I think we should treeclean it.
