No, rather not.

Thanks for the patience. I've just uploaded fixed version of PyCUDA
to Debian, version 2014.1-2. I've tested it with CUDA 5.5 and 6.0,
both versions available in Debian, and it works. I'm not sure
when this PyCUDA version will migrate to Ubuntu though.

At the same time it does not fix two rather important problems.
First - I do not "feel" Ubuntu way, and my attempts to contact people
dealing with GPU in Ubuntu failed, and I do not know what I should've
done differently. I have account on Launchpad,
but I do not receive any notifications of bugs. I've just went
there and there are 5 bugs opened against PyOpenCL! But I do not
use Ubuntu, I do not know what they've changed in graphics stack
that PyOpenCL tries to install NVIDIA ICD by default.

The other problem is that I do not use PyCUDA/PyOpenCL daily. I
currently work on other stuff, and it does not leave much time
or mental energy to switch to different field. I try to react to bugs,
but it's rather mechanical now. My latest GPU is two generations behind
(Fermi, not Kepler not Maxwell) and I do not see the need to buy the new
one. At the same time I do not want to orphan my packages; the queue
of packages waiting for adoption is really long and I do not want to
lengthen it.

So, I have the task for members of the list. If you are using PyCUDA
or PyOpenCL on Debian or Ubuntu and there is something odd or wrong
with packages, please let me know. Preferably on the mailing list, or
fill the bug against appropriate package in Debian bug tracker, so
others have the chance to comment on it. I might not respond to it right
away, but I'll try to fix it.

Best regards.
