[Bug 2141514] Re: [needs-packaging] rocwmma - in ubuntu

[Talha Can Havadar]

Hello Frank,

- updated the patches with gbp so they should have an header including Forwarded field and Last-Update
- rocwmma is header only library so no so file is produced to consume
- updated the control file with descriptions
- build is taking long time one causing problems in launchpad infra nproc workaround which is inherited from llvm-toolchain package helps me to workaround this issue. Do you want me to put this in lintian-overrides?
- about the license I think I am following what is suggested for packaging which needs to follow how the software licensed. (but maybe I am interpreting it wrongly, https://library.canonical.com/legal-processes/licensing-policy#:~:text=places%2E-,Packaging )
- updated maintainer field
- about size of -tests package , yeah I hope it wont be a problem but need to hear from AA indeed.

Can you review again? and what is your idea on lintian overrides for
nproc?

If source is still not available in ppa, changes are already pushed to
the git repo in description

Title:
  [needs-packaging] rocwmma - in ubuntu

Status in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Aiming to package v7.1.0 of the upstream to have better compatibility
  with the ROCm stack (v7.1.0) in ubuntu resolute. From 7.2.0 onwards
  upstream moved to https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries so thats why
  you see deprecation warning in the upstream repo but that is the
  source for v7.1.0

  The rocWMMA is a C++ library for accelerating mixed-precision matrix
  multiply-accumulate (MMA) operations leveraging AMD GPU hardware.
  rocWMMA makes it easier to break down MMA problems into fragments and
  distribute block-wise MMA operations in parallel across GPU
  wavefronts. The API consists of a header library, that can be used to
  compile MMA acceleration directly into GPU kernel device code. This
  can benefit from compiler optimization in the generation of kernel
  assembly, and doesn't incur additional overhead costs of linking to
  external runtime libraries or having to launch separate kernels.

  rocWMMA includes sample projects to validate and demonstrate API
  usage. These include simple GEMMs, performant GEMMs, DLRM, GEMV and
  hipRTC integration.
