Please do reconsider backporting this for stable releases because the current setup is completely broken and it's probably not a good idea to leave it thus since it takes quite a while to figure out what is going wrong.
If it's likely it'll not be backported, please do consider informing users somehow that this package works with nVidia GPUs only. The package could be renamed as python-pyopencl-nvidia or a clause could be included in the description of the package saying it's for nVidia GPUs only. Also, please consider maintaining a PPA for Ubuntu 12.04 and earlier. Since it's a PPA, there is less obligation to provide support I suppose? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763457 Title: please provide opencl-icd virtual package Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-common” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “pyopencl” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “fglrx-installer” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-common” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “pyopencl” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “pyopencl” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: The package python-pyopencl depends on nvidia-current, which makes it impossible to correctly use on AMD / ATI systems. In debbugs #628702 debian started using a virtual package opencl-icd instead of depending directly on particular graphics driver / opencl implementation. We should follow the same.
