Public bug reported:

Please sync rocthrust 5.7.1-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

This sync requires a FeatureFreeze exception. This package version
requires rocm-hipamd 5.7.1 and would benefit from rocprim 5.7.1, which
are being tracked in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rocm-
hipamd/+bug/2058606 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rocprim/+bug/2060565,
respectively.

# Why a new upstream version is necessary

1. The upstream version 5.3.3 predates support for the Radeon 7000
series of GPUs (added in 5.4.0). As this is a library used for High-
Performance Computing and AI, support for modern hardware is very
important.

2. The upstream ROCm 5.7.1 version was the last release of the ROCm 5
series. While both ROCm 5.3 and ROCm 5.7 are no longer supported
upstream, there will be a much larger community using ROCm 5.7.
Knowledge sharing within this larger community will be beneficial for
the long-term maintenance of the noble release.

3. The versions of ROCm components included on Ubuntu Noble are very
inconsistent. This FeatureFreeze exception is one of several that I will
be filing in an attempt to get as much of the ROCm stack as possible
onto the upstream 5.7.1 release. The narrower the range of versions, the
better. Ubuntu does not have significant automated testing for the AMD
GPU libraries, so it is safer to use versions that closely correspond to
what upstream and Debian are using (as both do significant testing on
these libraries).

4. The bugfixes for set_difference and set_intersection in 5.5.0 prevent
the test suite from hanging at 100% GPU usage, which is nice.

# Other Notes

The build log (using rocm-hipamd 5.7.1-3 and rocprim 5.7.1-2) is
attached and includes the build tests. The upstream change log is also
