Hello,

I think this news could be of interest to people who have had
difficulties in a recent past to obtain OpenCL support for their AMD
GPU or APU: Phoronics reports a new version of AMD's ROCm, easier to
install

Well, this link provides this:
"AMD ROCm 4.5 can be downloaded from GitHub."
And that link goes to github
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm/releases/tag/rocm-4.5.0

it contains only PDF with manuals and user guides. Where are actual
install files?

Anyway, readme (https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm) says newest
supported kernel is 5.8 on Ubuntu 20.04. No 5.10 in Debian. Meaning
OpenCL/ROCm is 100% still broken on Debian, unless someone tried and
it's not anymore, let me know please.

With kindest regards, Piotr.

Hello,

- ROCm/Debian 100% broken? I would not say that :-)
 ROCm 4.3 is definitely installable in Debian 11 Bullseye. Here is an
partial english translation of a french user post of the Debian french
user list back in august:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/2021/08/msg00006.html
 "[...] I had a bit of a hard time deploying the provided ROCm 4.3
binaries by AMD for Ubuntu in a minimal test environment in Bullseye. I
have the impression that there are missing dependencies. It took me a
little while to identify that I was missing libtinfo5 on my machine for
example. Tip: The program /opt/rocm-4.3.0/bin/hipconfig, from the hip-
base package, allows to obtain a fairly detailed assessment of what may
be missing in the installation, or what breaks."

- Kernel versions *supported* by AMD ROCm: in my opinion, *support* is
here a corporate language and is to be understood as *commercial*
*support*. Binaries provided by AMD are for distributions that sell
commercial support. This means, sort of,  AMD guarantees ROCm
functionning in the context of approved versions of approved
distribution vendors. Debian has no paid support, functionning of ROCm
is not homologated.
But that definitely does mean it does not function.  

- ROCm 4.5 docs you mention contain instructions to install ROCm 4.5,
including ways to add a ROCm repository in order to install the
binaries via apt. Other ways of installing are explained either.

Good luck :-)

"But that definitely does *not* mean it does not function."

Please Didier, carefully verify your post before sending it, that's not
the first time, eh? ;-)
