feat: amdvlk, directxshadercompiler

Open VirtualFreeEx opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Aims to fulfill package request #2070. Discussion (more of a monologue) on some key issues I have with both the proposal itself and my current implementation of it will be provided below in comments.

  1. AMDVLK already provides their builds of the driver for RHEL/as an RPM, so is this package really needed?
  2. DirectXShaderCompiler
    1. (by default) Should we build with external libraries or with libraries from Fedora's repositories?

AMDVLK already provides their builds of the driver for RHEL/as an RPM, so is this package really needed?

Specifically on this topic: ~~I believe that the upstream's specfile~~ could be used instead if we don't trust the upstream-provided binaries. Alternatively, could AMDVLK be somehow shipped as the upstream-provided package?

Edit 1: Upstream does not provide a specfile and instead uses CPack to create the package.

we (fyra) are having an ongoing discussion on whether we allow shipping upstream-provided rpms directly, but before we draw a conclusion I think it's not a bad idea to just provide our own rpms anyway

While that is true, some video and other editing software do not accept or work with Mesa. It's a frustrating situation.
