ADVISORY NOTICE PROPOSAL
========================

AMD OpenCL proprietary driver "pal" update to avoid conflicts with other similar packages


Description
The opencl series for AMD GPU is now complete. There are 3 of them, amdgpupro-opencl-orca, amdgpupro-opencl-pal and rocm-amd-opencl.
To avoid conflict they need to exclule each other during installation.

amdgpupro-opencl-orca and rocm-amd-opencl do that already. 
amdgpupro-opencl-pal is now on par.

Hi José, Giuseppe, 
would you have 5 minutes to test it and give your ok?
As far as I remember, you have a compatible iGPU.
Thanks

Hi.

Hi have installed two packages for my computer. Amdgpupro-opencl-pal and rocm-amd-opencl. No issues, the two packages works fine for me with some differences.

I have installed the amdgpupro-opencl-pal package first. Works ok, and I have ejecucuted opencl and I have copied the info in text file.

After, I have installed the rocm-amd-opencl.Works ok too, and I have ejecuted opencl and I have copied the info in text file.

I'm not really sure which of the two works better for my team based on the data provided, I think amdgpupro-amd-pal allocates memory better, but it's just an opinion.

I attach the two files here, in case someone can clarify something. Perhaps this data would also serve as a comparison for our AMD users, and then "be free to choose the one that works best for you."

The reverse process has also worked well, when I install a package, it tells me that it has to remove the other one due to conflicts.

So great work here, congratulations to everyone involved, because this is a great advance for Mageia and good news for users who use rendering, video and photography programs, including myself.

Greetings!!
