In order to update "rocm-runtime" to the latest, it requires a new package
"ROCm-Device-Libs" as a build requirement.
The issue is that the project installs files into /usr/amdgcn, which seems
incorrect to me based on the FHS and Fedora guidelines. Here's the upstream for
reference:
https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/ROCm-Device-Libs
I made a test package but to get it to pass rpmlint, I patched it to put amdgcn
in "share/amdgcn" and made it a noarch package because it doesn't compile any
cpu specific code. I proposed to upstream to make this change and it seems they
don't agree and strongly prefer putting the files in "lib/amdgcn".
It seems the files are bitcode to be used with clang, so the binaries are not
traditional libraries. At the moment these files are CPU arch independent, but
they said they might want to add some x86 bit code later.
I guess I have a few questions:
- does bitcode belong in lib? share? Does it matter if these libraries are
bitcode or not?
- if they were to add x86_64 bitcode, would it then belong in lib64? What about
GPU related bitcode?
- If no debug info is generated, does this automatically make it a noarch
package? I don't think bitcode would generate debug information regardless of
arch
- Would lib/amdgcn would be ok if it's noarch?
- is this a fesco worthy question?
Thanks!
