Description Andrew Shark 2019-06-22 04:20:03 UTC
In 19.20-812932 release for Ubuntu there appeared packages roct-amdgpu-pro and roct-amdgpu-pro-dev.
They have a MIT license, but contains -pro suffix.
Is there any specific intention to do so? I thought that only proprietary packages should have that suffix.

Also there are packages:
amf-amdgpu-pro
opencl-amdgpu-pro-comgr
opencl-amdgpu-pro-dev
opencl-amdgpu-pro-hip
What about their suffixes?

Ubuntu packaging issue; this needs to be reported to Ubuntu instead.
Comment 2 Eric Engestrom 2019-06-22 17:57:22 UTC
TIL AMD does its support via our bugzilla...
Comment 3 Jeremy Newton 2019-07-29 20:15:52 UTC
The pro suffix denotes that it's a part of the PRO stack, not propriety (yes misleading name, I know).

"PRO" does not mean it's closed source, though most of the PRO stack is closed.

ROCT for example is MIT as it's borrowed from ROCm.

As for the rest:
-AMF is closed source AFAIK
-opencl is closed source; this will be migrated to ROCm (MIT), but this is low priority since ROCm is already completely packaged elsewhere.

We might strip the -pro from roct when we switch to ROCm, but I don't believe there's a plan set in stone right now.

Closing as invalid for now.
