I tested building 2.1.0 in unstable a few days ago, and could not get it
to build, so my guess is different.

My suggestion: upgrade to the new upstream version.  Triton 2.1.0 has
support for newer LLVM.  I just tried it and the cmake configuration
succeeded with LLVM 17 (though I needed to patch
lib/Dialect/TritonGPU/IR/CMakeLists.txt and
lib/Conversion/TritonGPUToLLVM/CMakeLists.txt with
s/MLIRGPUOps/MLIRGPUDialect/).

I still got some compile errors after that that I don't unfortunately
have time to look further into right now.  I guess 2.1.0 would work
out of the box with LLVM 16, but I'd wager it's still much closer to
working with LLVM 17 than Triton 2.0.0 would be.

I would be happy to, but...

I tried switching to a newer llvm package, but it seem to me the
libmlir-14-dev and mlir-14-tools content changed in a way that break the
build with newer llvm versions.  Not sure how to work around this, not
skilled enough with cmake to figure out a solution so far.

Source: triton
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

As part of the effort to limit the number of llvm packages in the
archive, it would be great if you could upgrade to -17.

This package depends on 14.

Thanks,
Sylvestre
