Does this look okay to you, guys? The date is preliminary and dependent on how quickly we can get nvidia-drivers migrated to the new approach, hopefully we can get this to happen sooner.
* * * Title: Manual steps required during upgrade to an eselect-free OpenCL set-up Author: Marek Szuba <mare...@gentoo.org> Posted: 2020-05-01 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 2.0 Display-If-Installed: app-eselect/eselect-opencl We are now in the process of migrating OpenCL in Gentoo to having all implementations operate through an ICD loader (dev-libs/ocl-icd or dev-libs/opencl-icd-loader) installed directly into /usr instead of using eselect-opencl to switch between implementations. eselect-free versions of loader packages have just been released to the public. Unfortunately although the upgrade to those versions will automatically uninstall app-eselect/eselect-opencl, it will not remove the symbolic links to libOpenCL.so created by this tool in library directories because those links are not owned by the package in question. If your system is configured for full collision protection (FEATURES=collision-protect), it will be necessary to manually remove those links rm -i /usr/lib{,64}/libOpenCL.so* before running the upgrade. Systems whose collision protection either allows overwriting orphaned files (FEATURES='-collision-protect protect-owned') or which do not use collision protection at all (not recommended) should be unaffected. -- MS
