Hi,

oh, your reply on 24. Sep. 2013 was addressed only to
720...@bugs.debian.org and wasn't being cc'ed, so I have not received
a copy of it.

On Christmas holidays I've tried to build opencv with opencl support
on Debian Jessie without(!) proprietary OpenCL SDK. It is enough to
install just 2 additional packages: ocl-icd-dev and ocl-icd-opencl-dev
in make opencv automatically discover a presence of OpenCL support and
enable building the ocl module. So you could for now just extend
build-depends on these 2 packages from main.

There will be no proprietary/contrib dependencies for installing the
future package libopencv-ocl. Once one needs to use it, then only
these users will have to install some non-free OpenCL ICD from
amd/intel/nvidia. Or(!) one can install locally some free (though not
100% functioning) OpenCL ICD and use it. I can't see no impacts on the
opencv ocl module itself. This was the idea of OpenCL ICD: one can
link to the loader (e.g. libOpenCL.so from ocl-icd-libopencl1) but
then use a proprietary one.

If it works out with Gallium - it would be great! But the main thing
for now is to have the ocl module packaged and then one can experiment
with the either OpenCL implementation.

Regards,
Andrey
