Questions about Intel Packages

Hi, I'm working on a youtube video about which Intel packages to install on Ubuntu, Debian, and potentially openSUSE to be able to use an Intel Arc/Xe Core APU for compute functions. I had some questions about the structure and choices of these packages, since I noticed some differences between how things are done for Debian/Ubuntu, and other things. If this isn't the best place to ask these questions, please direct me to the right mailing list or forum. First Question: On Ubuntu, Libmfx-gen1.2 is the only package needed for oneVPL-intel-gpu, while on openSUSE Tumbleweed, you need libmfx-gen and libmfx-gen_2 for seemingly the same functionality? Libmfx-gen is 6.6KiB while libmfx-gen1_2 is 8.4MiB, could someone explain why there's a size discrepancy, and what the function of the two packages are? Second Question: I noticed that libvp2 is being built based on oneVPL 2.10.1-2.2, while 2.10.1 was released in December 2023. 2.10.1 was released in December 2023, and that's the only 2.10.1 I see available on github. Are versions like 2.10.1-2.2 created by the openSUSE maintainers with adjustments for openSUSE or... where do they come from? Sub question The latest version is 2.11.0, and I'm wondering if there's an issue as far as it not being the version available for openSUSE Tumbleweed users? Are the intel packages not a priority, especially since there's uncertainty about Intel's gpu future? 3rd question I've tried running the OpenVINO implementation of Stable Diffusion WebUI, and all of the packages needed seem to be available on the openSUSE repo, but script doesn't complete. Would you know if this is because there are at least some packages that are behind the latest of what Intel has made available version wise, or is it an issue with the parameters being passed during compilation by the openSUSE maintainers. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some answers so that I can report a straight story to my audience because I'd really like for Tumbleweed (at least) to be a platform (I'm a Tumbleweed user) that people could utilize Intel Arc/Xe cores on for compute/productivity/AI tasks, instead of having to dual boot into Ubuntu. I hope it doesn't seem that I'm just trying to stick my nose into your business for my own gain; I'd genuinely like to help more people be able to use openSUSE (Tumbleweed) for as many things as possible. Thanks!

Language package

Hello, I try to package RKWard R GUI (test version with support for KF6), it's in <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:vojtaeus/rkward> I also cleaned some reports by spec-cleaner and discarded conditions for older Leap versions. So far so good. One problem I don't get is creation on -lang package and handling of translation files. In current spec file I simply list all language etc. files in main package and not surprisingly I get bunch of "W: file-not-in-%lang". So according to <https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Conventions_RPM_Macros#%find_lang> and below I try to create the -lang package, but I doubt it works as designed. :-( The spec file is at <https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/0dedba5f9e9c> I'd expect that after "%files lang -f %{name}.lang" (line 141) I don't have to list all files (lines 124-446) --- if I remove these lines, packaging fails with "error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:" Could anyone, please, advice me what do I do wrong? Do I have to list translation files for the -lang package manually? Sincerely, V. PS I thank for consultation to krop and tacit in packaging IRC channel. :-) -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
