Hi Jonathan, just a brief correction:

The AMD GPUs are not part of the official CI yet, as both our official infrastructure (hosting the GPUs) and our policies (expressing hardware relationships) do not permit it. We are running a fork of debci and other packages at https://ci.rocm.debian.net. Our forks have a number of experimental features, notably our architectures are [CPU ISA]+[GPU ISA], for example amd64+gfx1030 (Navi 21) or amd64+gfx1100 (Navi 31). Our fork currently automatically tracks all Debian packages which reverse-depend on any of our libraries. Developers are invited to add ROCm support to their packages if it's supported upstream, and the packages will automatically be tested on over a dozen AMD GPU architectures within our infra. We're finalizing our upgrade to ROCm 5.7+ (also on Ubuntu), and a proper write-up will follow on Debian Planet. Best, Christian PS: Our intention is of course to feed back all our changes to debci, Policy and so on, but some of these are entirely novel and require experimentation first, followed by discussion.
