Hi Andreas,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the information and patience - for me it's still a maze, but I'll write all things down I learn so others won't bug you.<BR>
For Gedit I made OpenCL lang-files, but for Gnome things go slightly different.<BR>
<BR>
I have good contact with AMD, so I can easily find that out. For Intel and IBM I need to make some calls. I'll start with AMD and try to follow the procedures of WNPP.<BR>
<BR>
I will look around in WNPP for the following problem I try to answer. At <A HREF="http://www.streamcomputing.eu/blog/2011-06-24/install-opencl-on-debianubuntu-orderly/">http://www.streamcomputing.eu/blog/2011-06-24/install-opencl-on-debianubuntu-orderly/</A> I wrote about a problem: libOpenCL.so is a library that looks als the ICDs and then includes the libraries. I think it should be open source, as it is simple and should be vendor-independent - will suggest the code too and also contact the developer who wrote it.<BR>
<BR>
You'll hear from me, when I sorted it out with AMD. As I want to make developing OpenCL on Debian/Ubuntu very easy (and easier than on other OSes), this is just a start.<BR>
<BR>
Kind regards,<BR>
Vincent<BR>

If you are missing something in Debian, first look in the WNPP bug list
(work needed and prospective packages), for details see
<A HREF="http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/">http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/</A>
In your case a bug was already filed for AMD:
<A HREF="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629518">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629518</A>
Current blocker is the license which does not seem to allow
redistribution. If you can help clarifying the license issue, that would
be great!
Packaging scripts are already there, see the above bug report.
For the other vendors, could you post some URLs? Or even better open
some RFP bugs (see the WNPP page for details) and add the pseudoheader
X-Debbugs-CC: <A HREF="mailto:pkg-nvidia-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">pkg-nvidia-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org</A>
so that we are aware of it. I can probably handle the packaging.
Andreas
