 * Messages for package virtual/opencl-3-r2:

 * 
 * In order to take advantage of OpenCL you will need a runtime for your 
hardware.
 * Currently included in Gentoo are:
 * 
 *  * open:
 *     - dev-libs/intel-compute-runtime - integrated Intel GPUs from Broadwell 
onwards. 64-bit only;
 *     - dev-libs/pocl - to run OpenCL programs on your CPU, if you do not 
have a supported GPU;
 *     - dev-libs/rocm-opencl-runtime - AMD GPUs supported by the amdgpu 
kernel driver. 64-bit only;
 *     - media-libs/mesa[opencl] - some older AMD GPUs; see [1]. 32-bit 
support;
 * 
 *  * proprietary:
 *     - dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl - AMD Polaris GPUs. 32-bit support;
 *     - dev-util/intel-ocl-sdk - Intel CPUs (*not* GPUs). 64-bit only;

On a number of stable systems with a selection of different Northern Islands 
to Sea Islands APUs/GPUs, I have media-libs/mesa installed in as a dependency.  
Given the above message and noticing dev-libs/rocm-opencl-runtime is still in 
testing, am I meant to keyword it and install it manually, or will it replace 
mesa automagically some day in the future when marked as stable?
