Dear FTP Masters,
Please remove the ppc64el binaries for hipfft from unstable. It has
no reverse dependencies on ppc64el. There are reverse dependencies on
other architectures, but those are not be relevent to this removal.
This removal is necessary because hipfft depends on rocfft 6.4.3-1,
which FTBFS on ppc64el due to an internal compiler error [1]. The
missing ppc64el build is blocking migration of the new rocfft package
to testing and thereby blocking the migration of hipfft as well.
The ROCm packages on ppc64el don't work anyway due to missing driver
support and the instabilty of the compiler makes it unreasonable to
continue building the user space components on ppc64el. No one has
stepped up to fix the compiler ICE and I do not have the time or
skills to maintain the HIP language in LLVM on ppc64el myself.
In the future, if it can be shown that the ROCm driver and LLVM support
for HIP on ppc64el is stable and well-maintained, we can reintroduce
ppc64el binaries for hipfft and other ROCm packages. For now, they
should be removed so their problems do not needlessly block transitions
on other architectures.
Once hipfft is removed from unstable, it should be possbile to remove
rocfft [2].
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Cory Bloor

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
libhipfft-dev | 6.1.2-3 | ppc64el
libhipfft0 | 6.1.2-3 | ppc64el
libhipfft0-tests | 6.1.2-3 | ppc64el
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; ICE; binaries don't work anyway
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].
