I guess we can always leave the next OpenCL bug open if that occurs.
Bug#682397: darktable: recommend opencl package
Hi, 10 years later, the situation doesn't have changed much. At least for AMD and NVidua GPUs, you need vendor packages from external sources to use OpenCL and get a performance gain. In the current state, the rusticl OpenCL implementation, which is part of Mesa, seems to lack features and/or is still too buggy. At least it can not be used for darktable and AMD support has to be enabled by setting an environment variable. This is a general issue that the darktable package can not change. So I propose to close this bug. Regards, Tino

It would be nice if Darktable installed this as a recommended package automatically. Hi Sladjan; Since that package is non-free, Debian policy forbids recommending it. It could be a suggests, but I'm not sure there is much advantage to that. If we did add a suggests then I suppose we would want something for ati and intel as well. d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: darktable Version: 1.0.4-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I have a Nvidia OpenCL capable card, and Darktable provides an option to use OpenCL also. I just installed the nvidia binary drivers, expecting OpenCL to work, after installing Darktable. But I had to install the nvidia-opencl-icd package too, to get the feature working. It would be nice if Darktable installed this as a recommended package automatically.
