amdgpu for jessie-backports?

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi,

>I do backports llvm-3.8 and mesa-12.1 from testing/unstable/experimental for my personnal machine and it goes quite straight forward.
>The only things I did was to remove amd64 from the list of architecture on which all llvm self tests pass.


this sounds like *bad* to me.
(speaking for llvm-3.8)
if the testsuite has failures, they have to be addressed, disabling them is a no-go at least for me
(disabling after a deep investigation might be fine, depending on what fails)

For sure, before backporting llvm 3.8 we have to:
- fix mips64el
- make the current package migrate.

I don't speak for mesa, I have almost zero knowledge.

So, if you want a backport, please help in testing and reporting failures, and we will try to make it go in jessie-bpo
