abs_cd VS rocm-arch

Get a CI to check if pkg build in clean environments. So many users will falsely report broken packages while they simply ran makepkg in their arch installation & the build system pulls crap from it into the build process & it fails despite your pkg being fine. It's a shame every AUR helper except aurutils still doesn't support building in clean chroots, but you can't change that. I build https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd for that, which end the end served a custom repo easing the installation for users, too. There are plenty alternatives to my SW out there, too.

You can find the CD status on https://abs-cd.oscloud.info/

This commit should also be a good example on how to configure crond to work well with logging in an Arch container.

A CI/CD with webinterface for Archlinux packages which optional AUR push support if builds succeed. It's based on Django and works with Docker/Podman. I originally made it for my own AUR packages (> 300), I needed accessible build logs if I want to collab, which the common builders didn't provide. I made the project public and it's crazy for me as an open source beginner to see how many people like this. The basic features are complete, but things like multiarch are getting add soon.

It now has podman compatibility as as a PR: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

It now should have podman compatibility, would be nice if you test it: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

If it really takes that long (and you maybe have more than one device or your friends use the same packages) and you can't find a user already packaging it in their private repo you could host an own repo in you local network. I created a CI/CD software for Arch packages which makes this easier: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd

I never could get rocm/hip to work on mint after going round and round several times over months. I finally switched distros and had it running in minutes under an arch based distro using https://github.com/rocm-arch/rocm-arch

I struggled for some time trying to make AMD's Rocm/HIP work in linux so I could use my GPU with blender. Never could get it to work across several distros (mint, ubuntu, fedora). I finally dropped it and just ran GPUless for months. I have since found myself on Manjaro and gave it another try after finding this github. Using this on manjaro I was able to install rocm/hip in NO time and am now using blender with my AMD GPU in linux.

To do this, you need to use the repository: https://github.com/rocm-arch/rocm-arch and checkout to commit 135aa026557d7c11d5f446d6c01521535e9e5747

To make it brief. Trying to install rocm-opencl-runtime and rocm-hip-runtime from rocm-arch on github.

Then why doesn't it work unless I have this installed?

Yeah, I had to install rocm using this method https://github.com/rocm-arch/rocm-arch. Afaik, it doesn't replace mesa, but provides OpenCL and HIP.
