Package: hipcc
Version: 5.7.1-6
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Blender 4.4 (and higher) requires ROCm version >= 6.0 in order to use Cycles on
AMD GPUs[1]. Blender 4.5 introduces a lot of desired features, not available in
previous versions. It's also a LTS release.
In order to use Blender 4.5 and higher, ROCm (and hipcc) need to be bumped to
>= 6.0.
For the philosophy of valuing stability over new features, it's understandable
that Blender 4.5 does not need to work on Debian trixie. However, it would make
sense to have it working on forky imho.
The experimental repo already features hipcc 6.4.3. Under the premise that it
is stable enough, it would be great to have it in sid and forky soon.

Version: 6.4.3-4
rocm-hipamd 6.4.3 migrated to testing (forky) on December 4th, 2025.
hipcc is now provided by rocm-llvm, but rocm-llvm 7.0.2+dfsg-3 migrated
the same day because it depends on rocm-hipamd and needed ROCm 6 to work
around some packing mistakes in previous versions.
