# rocm-device-libs

The rocm-device-libs package

Please note that this package is built from forked source code maintained by the

package maintainer (mystro256):

This is because upstream targets bleeding edge LLVM (upstream "main" branch).

In order to reduce the need to bundle LLVM for ROCm use and reduce over all

complexity of ROCm in Fedora, it's easier just to branch the development tree of

this component when LLVM branches, and then backport fixes from newer ROCm

releases.

This fork will contain tags in the format of %{llvm_maj_ver}.%{bugfix_version},

where llvm_maj_ver is the target LLVM version, and bugfix_version is the bugfix

revision if patches are backported to the forked branch. When updating LLVM, we

should reset bugfix_version to 0, as the %{llvm_maj_ver}.0 tag will be created

well before Fedora updates LLVM.
