I guess I will post this here since people are still asking for upgrades
On the next release can /run/media or maybe even /run be appended to /etc/updatedb.conf PRUNEPATHS ? I noticed updatedb picked up files mounted under /run/meadia
Please could the httpd package be changed so as not to move an existing /srv/httpd out of the way every time it is updated? I'd rather it not mess with stuff under /srv at all, but if it must move stuff around in /srv, then how about using a /srv/httpd.new in the usual slackware fashion which the admin can move into place if desired?
Pease ...compile mesa , enabling opencl ... benefits all apps can use opencl , in to amd machines , thats nice since AMD driver NO COMPILE anymore , because no support xorg-1.18 branch.
1 - need extra dependency libclc , git version wants llvm-3.9 , and this is not "stable" , then go to one liclc point in git supporting llvm-3.8
I think this may be a useful argument regarding the AMD drivers. Since AMD has shifted support to the amdgpu-pro driver, the fglrx drivers have stagnated.
Adding libclc and enabling OpenCL support on Mesa might be beneficial to round out support in the free driver.
However the build-flag --enable-opencl-icd isn't required to add OpenCL support, just --enable-opencl.
It has some limitations, such as Nouveau and Intel support is limited, but is does work well for AMD series under the "radeon" series.
