My progress this week is mainly writing wiki and refining rocm.eclass.
Although the current eclass can work with my new ebuilds [1], Michał Górny has pointed out various flaws on the Github PR [2]. He also pointed out the necessity about rocm.eclass, because it seems like a combination of two eclasses. In my opinion, rocm.eclass has its value, mainly for handling USE_EXPANDS and common phase functions. The ugly part is mainly in rocm_src_test: due to the inconsistency of test methods of packages in [3], I have to detect which method is using and do it accordingly. So my plan is to split the one-size-fits-all rocm_src_test into two functions, corresponding to two scenarios (cmake test or standalone binary), and let each ebuild decide which to use. This can avoid detailed detection code that make rocm_src_test bloated.
Wiki writing: I think the main part of ROCm wiki[1] and HIP[2] is nearly finished. But due to the delay of rocm.eclass, the related information is not appended (ROCm#Developing guide). There is also a section a reserved: ROCm#Installation guide. I have little clue on how to write this part, because ROCm is a wide collection of packages. Maybe a meta package (there are users working on this) would be helpful.
To be honest I’m a bit anxious, because there is only one week left, but there are still a lot to be determined and tested on rocm.eclass along with the sci-libs/roc* ebuilds. I hope I can resolve these core issues in the last week.
